From New York, this is DemocracyNow. Former President Donald Trump has been ordered to pay $5 million to E. Jean Carroll after a jury found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming her.

We'll speak to Jessica Leeds who testified during the trial about how Trump sexually assaulted her during a flight in the 1970s.

He was trying to kiss me, he was hands where on my brush he was kind of wrestling and I didn't say anything.

He didn't say anything so it was like this kind of kabuki theater in the silence.

Then as Title 42, the Trump-era pandemic policy blocking asylum seekers ends Thursday.

President Biden plans stronger enforcement measures on the border.

I spent about a bit closer than hour with the Mexican President today.

We're doing all we can. It's going to be chaotic for a while.

We'll speak to the Salvadoran poet and writer Javier de Zamora, author of the best-selling memoir Solito.

As a nine-year-old boy, he traveled alone for four thousand miles to reach the United States. All that and more coming up.

Welcome to Democracy Now, Democracy Now.org, the Warren Peace Report. I'm Amy Goodman.

A New York jury unanimously found former President Donald Trump liable for the sexual abuse and defamation of writer E. Jean Carroll awarding her five million dollars in damages.

The jury, however, rejected a rape charge during the trial. Carroll recounted her sexual assault by Trump in the dressing room of Bergdorf Goodman in the 1990s.

Since it was a civil trial, Trump was not convicted of a crime and does not face prison time.

Trump's lawyer said he would appeal while the ex-president called the verdict to disgrace and said, I have absolutely no idea who this woman is.

In a statement, E. Jean Carroll said, quote, today the world finally knows the truth. This victory is not just for me, but for every woman who is suffered because she was not believed.

We'll have more on this story after headlines and speak with one of the witnesses in the trial, Jessica Leeds, about her experience of Donald Trump sitting down on a plane and sexually assaulting her.
