A jury has awarded $83.3 million to E. Jean Carroll in her suit against Donald Trump. For Trump fans, that’s the equivalent of 640.77 porn stars.

Was this number or something close always baked in after the first trial? If he and his lawyers had behaved themselves during the trial, how much less of a hit could he have gotten away with?

Trump is trash, but does this mean people who deny culpability in public have to worry about being sued for defamation? Seems like a dangerous precedent to set, but maybe it's all in the specifics of Trump's denial as opposed to the denial alone?

Question: Can a president pardon a civil tort ruling? Or just Federal criminal convictions? Trump hopes to be elected so that he can end the Federal criminal cases against him, or pardon any Fed criminal convictions. But if he's elected, can he do anything about this case? Or the NY AG case?

If he defames her again and she sues again, would she expect to win even more than that in a third round? Does the amount just keep going up until he keeps his mouth shut?
