In the wake of the Jan. 6 attack, Republican Rep. Nancy Mace scrambled to distance herself from Donald Trump, saying his legacy had been “wiped out” by his role in the insurrectionist riot. This did not go unnoticed inside Mar-a-Lago.
The jury did not find the defendant liable for “rape” as defined in the applicable state law, though the judge in the case later concluded that the former president, for all intents and purposes, “‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape.’” A couple of months ago, the matter became even more serious for Trump: A jury concluded that the former president must pay his accuser over $83 million in damages for repeatedly defaming her, including $65 million in punitive damages.
