Trump hit with $83.3M verdict

- A jury ordered Donald Trump to pay an additional $83.3 million in defamation damages tied to E. Jean Carroll's prior sexual‑abuse finding. - Separately, courts temporarily blocked money for Trump's 'Anti‑Weaponization Fund' and questioned whether the IRS settlement was a product of collusion in ongoing litigation. - The rulings increase political scrutiny and strain GOP unity over funding Trump's enforcement agenda and payouts to rioters.
