Fresh off his runaway win in the nation’s first 2024 presidential nominating contest, the next phase of former President Trump’s courtroom chronicles will begin Tuesday as a jury convenes to determine how much Trump must pay for defaming a longtime advice columnist.
Last year, a jury concluded Trump sexually abused the columnist, E. Jean Carroll, in the mid-1990s at a New York City department store and later defamed her, awarding Carroll $5 million. Trump vehemently denies her claims.
Now, Carroll is taking Trump to civil trial again. This time, she seeks at least $10 million in damages for Trump’s denials when the former “Elle” columnist first came forward publicly with her claims in 2019.
Trump has already been found liable in the case, so the trial, expected to last upwards of one week, will be held simply to determine how much Trump must pay.
Literally instantly. “Judgement $5 million.”
“She’s a wack job, I don’t even know her!”
Pro-tip Donnie - you don’t have to know someone to have sexually assaulted them.
See: All of America. Most of us never met the guy, but he sure fucked all of us. Also, half of us didn’t want it and didn’t let him, no matter how rich he is.
