Former President Donald Trump Responds to E. Jean Carroll’s $10 Million Lawsuit

“I don’t know E. Jean Carroll, I never met her or touched her (except on a celebrity line with her African American husband who she disgustingly called the ‘Ape,’), I wouldn’t want to know or touch her, I never abused her or raped her or took her to a dressing room 25 years ago in a crowded department store where the doors are LOCKED, she has no idea when, or did anything else to her, except deny her Fake, Made Up Story, that she wrote in a book,” Trump posted on social media. “IT NEVER HAPPENED, IS A TOTAL SCAM, UNFAIR TRIAL!”

Former President Donald Trump has responded to E. Jean Carroll’s request for an additional $10 million in her defamation lawsuit against him. Carroll’s lawyers proposed amendments to the lawsuit, which would hold Trump liable for remarks made during a CNN broadcast in May 2022. Trump denied Carroll’s allegations that he raped her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s and called the verdict a “fake story.”

Trump’s Malice Toward Carroll

“Trump’s defamatory statements post-verdict show the depth of his malice toward Carroll since it is hard to imagine defamatory conduct that could possibly be more motivated by hatred, ill will, or spite,” the lawyers wrote in the complaint. “This conduct supports a very substantial punitive damages award in Carroll’s favor both to punish Trump, to deter him from engaging in further defamation, and to deter others from doing the same.”

Carroll’s lawyers argue that Trump’s alleged defamatory statements were essentially the same, and the only open issues are whether he was immune for making the first statement and what damages he owes. Trump’s attorneys have filed a notice of appeal, contesting the federal jury’s verdict that found him liable for committing battery and defamation.

Democrats’ Playbook

“The Carroll case is part of the Democrats playbook to tarnish my name and person, much like the now fully debunked Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, the 51 Intelligence Agents, FBI/Twitter Files, and so much more,” he continued. “It is being funded and tried by Democrat operatives, although this was denied by them, and when they got caught in the lie, the Clinton appointed judge would not let us use it in trial. Time will prove him to be highly partisan & very unfair. Where’s the dress she said she had?”

Trump also claims that the Carroll case is part of the Democrats’ playbook to tarnish his name and person, much like the debunked Russia hoax. He alleges that the case is being funded and tried by Democrat operatives and that the Clinton-appointed judge is highly partisan and unfair.
