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.
