Trump Says He Doesn’t Know Who E. Jean Carroll Is During Rally After Being Ordered To Pay Her $83 Million

Former President Donald Trump once again pretended not to know E. Jean Carroll during remarks at a Michigan Rally, even after being ordered to pay the columnist $83 million in a defamation case last month.

Carroll, who was found to have been sexually assaulted by the former president in the 1990s, filed a defamation suit after Trump made similar comments about their relationship. In January, a jury found him guilty of defamation and ordered him to pay Carroll $83.3 million in damages.

This is the second defamation suit that Carroll has filed against Trump. The former president was previously ordered to pay her $5 million after being found guilty of defamation and sexual assault.

Trump spoke at a Get Out the Vote Rally in Waterford Township, Michigan. He began by talking about the outcome of his recent Manhattan civil fraud trial in which he was ordered to pay $355 million and banned from doing business in New York state for five years.

Trump then commented on the verdict in Carroll’s case.

“How about the one two weeks ago?” Trump asked the crowd. “A woman, I’m saying, ‘Who the hell is she? Who is the woman?’ It’s so unfair what’s happening in our country. Our court system is a mess.”

“What’s happening in our country, they have to straighten it out,” he concluded.

Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, threatened to file a complaint against Trump’s lawyer, Alina Habba, for making false claims about her in court. Habba immediately withdrew the charge after being threatened.
