E. Jean Carroll adds Trump’s post-verdict remarks to defamation case, seeks at least $10M
PBS NewsHourAPR 2023
Carroll is merely out for another pound of flesh while flippantly projecting her crusade as a vindication of all women who have experienced sexual assault. If this were really the case, the focus would turn to Biden, who faces similar accusations from a former Democratic aide in 1993 but has yet to face repercussions for them.
Trump’s legal problems keep piling up. Not only did the former president appear virtually in court this week on 34 potential felonies, but his continued defamation of Carroll has landed him into further hot water. Unsurprisingly, Trump has reacted to the matter by defaming Carroll even further, which could lead to more financial damages.
