A New York jury has ordered Donald Trump to pay writer E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million in her defamation trial against him.
“Donald Trump has been ordered by a Manhattan jury to pay $83.3 million to journalist and author E. Jean Carroll.
Carroll has argued that Trump damaged her reputation in 2019 when he publicly claimed that she had lied when she accused him of rape.
Siding with Carroll, the jury ruled on Friday that Trump should pay $18.3 in compensatory damages and $65 million in punitive damages. The jury found that the former president’s statements had caused Carroll emotional and reputational harm.
Carroll accused Trump of sexually assaulting her in a New York luxury department store in the 1990s when she was a columnist for Elle magazine. Trump has denied the allegations, testifying in court that he had never even met Carroll.
During a similar trial in May 2023, a jury in New York awarded Carroll $2 million in damages for sexual abuse and around $3 million for defamation. Trump appealed that ruling as well”. -RT
While Trump’s accuser being awarded $83.3 million for defamation is particularly outrageous, however the way it will be portrayed by Trump as his campaign as further evidence, along with the four indictments over alleged election interference and the mishandling of classified documents, that the U.S. political system has been weaponized against him despite being on his way to securing the Republican presidential nomination for a third consecutive time will be even more of a mockery.
Curiously, an episode of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” from January of 2012 had characters discuss a role-played rape in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room eerily similar to the one E. Jean Carroll described in her public allegations against Trump.
“It tickled me to death”, Carroll said in reference to the supposed “coincidence”.
“It’s a great, huge coincidence, but it is a magnificent one”, she added.
Also, in August of 2012, Carroll posted a question about Donald Trump to her Facebook followers on whether they would be willing to sleep with him for seventeen thousand dollars before going on to suggest that in her fanciful scenario, Trump may not be able to speak.
As is commonly the case nowadays, the synchronization with obscure events from the past, along with all of the transparent references from over a decade ago, are in profusion.
