Carroll, 79, one of more than a dozen women who accused Trump of sexual assault or harassment, went public in 2019 with her allegation that the Republican raped her in a dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman on Fifth Avenue in the mid-1990s.
Trump, 76, chose not to attend the civil trial, but he has said he never encountered Carroll at the store and didn't know her. He has called her a "nut job" who invented "a fraudulent and false story" to sell a memoir.
The jury said Trump must pay Carroll $5 million in damages.
