Donald Trump and his lawyers thought it'd be a good idea to file a counterclaim against E. Jean Carroll. Instead, as stevebenen writes, they extended an ugly losing streak.
against the former president: A jury found the Republican liable for sexually abusing Carroll, and jurors awarded the writer $5 million in damages for her battery and defamation claims. The jury did not, however, find the defendant liable for rape.
Soon after, Carroll appeared on CNN and was asked how she felt when the jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse, but not rape. “Well, I just immediately [said] in my own head: ‘Oh, yes, he did. Oh yes, he did,’” she responded., that sentence, according to the former president’s lawyers, defamed Trump — which is why the Republican, instead of avoiding Carroll, filed a counterclaim against her, seeking a retraction and unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
Trump filed his counterclaims against Carroll in June, alleging she defamed him by continuing to say publicly that he’d raped her even after a jury found him not liable for doing so. But, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan noted Monday, the jury did find Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll during an encounter in the dressing room of a New York City department store in the mid-1990s, and the details of that finding show that her having maintained that Trump raped her is “substantially true.
Kaplan added, “Mr. Trump’s attempt to minimize the sexual abuse finding as perhaps resting on nothing more than groping of Ms. Carroll’s breasts through her clothing is frivolous.” He went on to conclude that a jury clearly found that the former president had “‘raped’ her in the sense of that term broader than the New York Penal Law definition.”
