Trump loses defamation case against E. Jean Carroll

E. Jean Carroll news

The former president was ordered to pay more than $80 million (USD) to the woman who accused him of rape.

Former US President Donald Trump has been ordered by a Manhattan jury to pay $83.3 million to journalist and author E. Jean Carroll.

Carroll has argued that Trump damaged her reputation in 2019 when he publicly claimed that she had lied when she accused him of rape.

Siding with Carroll, the jury ruled on Friday that Trump should pay $18.3 in compensatory damages and $65 million in punitive damages. The jury found that the former president’s statements had caused Carroll emotional and reputational harm.

Trump vowed to appeal the ruling.“Absolutely ridiculous!” he wrote on Truth Social, describing the case against him as a “witch hunt” employed by President Joe Biden to undermine his re-election campaign.

“Our Legal System is out of control, and being used as a Political Weapon. They have taken away all First Amendment Rights. THIS IS NOT AMERICA!” Trump wrote.

Carroll accused Trump of sexually assaulting her in a New York luxury department store in the 1990s when she was a columnist for Elle magazine. Trump has denied the allegations, testifying in court that he had never even met Carroll.

During a similar trial in May 2023, a jury in New York awarded Carroll $2 million in damages for sexual abuse and around $3 million for defamation. Trump appealed that ruling as well.

  1. Where’s the proof?
    What about the Statute of Limitations (ordinarily 10 years after the alleged / supposed crime was committed…)?
    Such an amount of $ = ‘Unusual Punishment’…
    Trump will appeal the same, probably not before the upcoming Civil War in the U.S..
    There will not be an (s)election in 2024- just turmoil, rage and Civil War with a side order of invasions from all directions by the illegal military-aged immigrants who are in the U.S. to destroy the same.
    The Patriot Militias, National Guards, and Veterans have all lubed-up their rounds to penetrate the body armour of the thugs who, being trained by the Israelis, will attempt to oppress and suppress the Patriots using their illegal migrants, promising the same with U.S. Citizenship and U.S. Passports if they join the military and fire on Americans.

    • The swamp conveniently changed the long-standing “statutes of limitations” the previous May that allows sexual assault victims to file civil suits regardless of expired statutes of limitations.
      This was done of course “to get Trump”.

  2. This is the woman who told a very flustered Anderson Cooper on CNN that she finds rape “sexy”.

    Take a good look at her.

    Now look at all of Trump’s former wives and girlfriends and supermodel socialites from the Miss world pageants etc.

    Now look back at her.

    The longer you do it, the funnier her allegations become.
