Trump Files Defamation Lawsuit Against E. Jean Carroll After Losing Sexual Abuse Case

E. Jean Carroll accused Donald Trump of rape, and a jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming her, awarding her $5 million in damages.
Trump went on TV and defamed Carroll again, leading her to amend her lawsuit to seek $10 million more.
Instead of stopping, Trump sued Carroll, claiming she defamed him while discussing the outcome of her case.
Carroll's lawyer says Trump's filing aims to delay accountability for defaming Carroll, of which a jury already found him guilty.
Trump faces many legal issues, including indictments and a probe into trying to overturn his 2020 election loss.
