Trump says he’ll appeal ‘ridiculous’ E. Jean Carroll defamation ruling
Former President Trump said Friday he plans to appeal after a jury ordered him to pay $83.3 million for defaming writer E. Jean Carroll, who had alleged he sexually assaulted her decades ago.
“Absolutely ridiculous! I fully disagree with both verdicts, and will be appealing this whole Biden Directed Witch Hunt focused on me and the Republican Party,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Our Legal System is out of control, and being used as a Political Weapon.”
“They have taken away all First Amendment Rights,” he added. “THIS IS NOT AMERICA!”
Friday’s ruling by a jury in New York marked the second time Carroll has won damages from Trump at trial, with the new total adding to a $5 million verdict last year finding Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll and defaming her over a separate comment.
Says the man who's making this political...
This had nothing to do with Biden or the Republican Party... He's been tried & found guilty of defaming E. Jean Carroll.
You know this... I know this... Literates know this...
His cultists on the other hand? That shit was rolled up, fried, and gobbled down like an Independence Day barbecue. The entitled ape is actively trying to spearhead the start of an American Civil War II because he didn't win.
...for raping her. He could have not sexually assaulted her, he could have not defamed her, he could have not defamed her a second time. All problems of his own making. I've never even imagined this level of "find out" even existed.
But it has to be said: Republicans are still solidly behind him, this is who they want! Absolutely disgusting...
