  That’s the thing, he has been proven guilty. Loads of testimonies and more.

  It’s just that the broken american justice system hasn’t yet convicted him.

  Alright then… Supreme Court docket

  2. Mr. Trump sexually abused Ms. Carroll? YES X NO____

  Here’s some Wikipedia reading

  Verdict and aftermath (January 2024–present) edit

  On January 26, 2024, the jury deliberated for three hours and awarded Carroll $7.3 million in emotional damages, $11 million in reputation-related damages, and $65 million in punitive damages, totaling $83.3 million.[246] The jury found Trump had committed sexual abuse and forcible touching, two of the three elements of Carroll’s battery claim.[248] Trump said he would appeal.[249]

  In the eye of the law, yes. Public opinion is allowed to be different. But you have one good point. The text does not mention how they are stalling and hindering the investigations despite their promise to open the files.
