The jury has just awarded E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million in damages.

From NBC News, what to know about E. Jean Carroll's defamation damages case:

  • A New York jury reached a quick verdict awarding E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million in damages in her suit that former President Donald Trump defamed her.

  • Trump stormed out of the closing arguments, leaving the courtroom while an attorney representing Carroll spoke. He returned to hear his own attorney speak.

  • A jury found Trump liable last year for sexually abusing Carroll in a New York department store in the 1990s and defaming her after she wrote about the incident.

  • Prosecutors and Trump's lawyers concluded testimony yesterday after the former president briefly took the stand and called Carroll's accusation "false." The trial was presided over by U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan.
