E. Jean Carroll vows to use $83.3M to inflict 'pain' on Trump: 'That's my intent'
Writer E. Jean Carroll, who last week won a second defamation suit against Donald Trump, says she plans to spend the $83.3 million in damages she was awarded in a way that causes "pain" to the former president, she said on ABC's Good Morning America Monday.
“If it’ll cause him pain for me to give money to certain things, that’s my intent," she said.

She added that the money could be used to start a “fund for the women who have been sexually assaulted by Donald Trump."
On Friday, a jury hit Trump with the massive amount for defaming her when he denied her claim that he sexually assaulted her. An earlier trial had found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation stemming from separate comments, and hit him with $5 million.
His legal team has vowed to appeal both verdicts.
