Trump just opened the door to another E. Jean Carroll lawsuit because he won’t stop calling her a liar – By Matt Naham (Law and Crime) / March 11, 2024
After a weekend in which Donald Trump told a rally crowd that E. Jean Carroll — a journalist he was found liable for sexually assaulting and defaming — made “false accusations” against him, the former president went on CNBC on Monday and repeated the same.
Referring to Carroll as “Miss Bergdorf Goodman,” identifying the place where Carroll said — and a civil jury believed — that Trump digitally raped her, the former president said again that Carroll made a “false accusation.”
As recently as Friday, Trump posted a $91 million bond for defaming Carroll, a ruling in a second Carroll lawsuit that he is appealing.
The very next day, Trump told his supporters at a Georgia rally that Carroll’s “fake story, totally made-up story” was what led to the second judgment against him.
