E. Jean Carroll’s Lawyer Says New Defamation Lawsuit Against Trump Is Possible For Truth Social Rant After Winning $83 Million Judgment

The legal battle between E. Jean Carroll and former President Donald Trump has taken another turn. Carroll’s lawyers hinted that a fresh defamation lawsuit could be “on the table” after Trump unleashed another attack on the writer in one of his recent Truth Social rants.

Just as the closing arguments in Trump’s hush money trial were set to begin, the former president took to his social media platform to send a holiday message: “Happy Memorial Day to All, including the Human Scum that is working so hard to destroy our Once Great Country, & to the Radical Left, Trump-Hating Federal Judge in New York that presided over, get this, TWO separate trials, that awarded a woman, who I never met before (a quick handshake at a celebrity event, 25 years ago), 91 MILLION DOLLARS for ‘DEFAMATION.'”

Trump went on, “She didn’t, then the so-called event took place – sometime in the 1990’s filed a police report, didn’t produce the ‘dress’ then threatened me with (it showed negative!), & sung my praises in the first half of her CNN Interview with Anderson Cooper, but changed her tune in the second half – Gee, I wonder why (UNDER APPEAL!)?”

His tirade continued, “The Rape charge was dropped by a jury! Or Arthur Engoron, the N.Y. State Wacko Judge who fined me almost 500 Million Dollars (UNDER APPEAL) for DOING NOTHING WRONG, used a Statute that has never been used before, gave me NO JURY, Mar-a-Lago at $18,000,000 – Now for Merchan!”

Despite Trump’s accusations, a civil jury had previously found that he did, in fact, sexually abuse Carroll in a New York City department store back in the mid-1990s. The jury also determined that the former president defamed Carroll when she came forward with her allegations. As a result, Trump was ordered to pay the former Elle magazine columnist $5 million in damages.

In a separate civil defamation trial in January, Trump was found to have further defamed Carroll, which led to an additional $83.3 million in damages owed to the writer.

Roberta Kaplan, Carroll’s attorney, responded swiftly to Trump’s outburst and stated that “all options are on the table” when it comes to potential legal actions. 

The former president is just hours from the closing arguments in his criminal hush money trial in Manhattan. Trump is facing 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a $130,000 payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election. Prosecutors allege that the payment was made to silence Daniels about an alleged sexual encounter with Trump in 2006, shortly after his wife Melania Trump gave birth to their son, Barron.
