Trump Accuser E. Jean Carroll Gets Horrible News About $83 Million Verdict Against Trump
Author, columnist, and accuser of President Donald Trump E Jean Carroll might not be cashing in on her claims against the president.
In January 2024, Carroll was awarded $83 million for defamation and assault as Trump was found civilly liable stemming from a supposed meeting between the two in a Manhattan department store dressing room in 1996.
But WAGA-TV reported Tuesday that an appeals court said Trump does not have to pay Carroll just yet, as his legal team wants the Supreme Court to review the case.
However, he must still post a $7.4 million bond for interest costs to be covered.
Carroll’s story is strange, to say the least, and the context of how this case was even allowed in court makes it even more dubious.
Writing for the Palm Beach Republican Club, Hoover Institute Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson previously noted that Carroll could not remember when the assault happened, claiming it was somewhere in the 1994 to 1996 timeframe. She also did not write about it until Trump became a national political figure.
Carroll claimed to have remembered the dress she was wearing that day, but it was not in production at the time.
If this information was not already raising an eyebrow, there were also no witnesses. In her 2019 book, Carroll did not even refer to the moment as “rape,” but as a “fight.”
When Carroll went public and Trump fired back, she claimed defamation in his remarks hurting her career, but when ELLE magazine fired her, they denied it had anything to do with the president.
