Donald Trump lashes out after E Jean Carroll case decision
President Donald Trump criticized the Supreme Court of the United States on Truth Social after it declined to review the $5 million judgment awarded to E. Jean Carroll in her defamation case against him. Carroll filed a federal lawsuit in New York City alleging that Trump sexually assaulted her in a department store dressing room in 1996 (via The Mirror).
The defamation case stems from statements Donald Trump made during his earlier term in office. Trump described Carroll’s sexual abuse allegations as a “con job” and a “hoax.”
“Surprisingly, the Supreme Court declined to ‘review’ a Fake Case brought against me by a woman I never met (Decades old celebrity photo line, standing with her husband, does not count!). I will continue the fight against this Weaponization and Lawfare Case against me, including the ridiculous claim of Defamation, with all of my power and strength,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“This Case is really against the United States of America, and all it stands for, and should never be allowed to happen to another President, or Candidate to be! New York State created a Law, for an instant speck of time, going back many decades, in order to wrongfully “nab” me,” he continued. “It was tailormade, and this Injustice cannot be allowed to stand! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
Trump and his legal team have consistently challenged Carroll’s allegations and the court’s rulings since the case began. His legal team has also criticized the judge and the verdict throughout the legal proceedings.
