Trump Launches Online Tirade Against E. Jean Carroll Ahead of Second Defamation Trial
The former president faces another court battle after losing a civil case to Carroll, who was awarded $5 million in damages for sexual abuse and defamation.
- Former President Donald Trump has been posting repeatedly about E. Jean Carroll on his social media platform, Truth Social, ahead of their second defamation trial.
- Trump's posts include repeated attacks on Carroll and accusations against the judge overseeing the case, who he claims should have recused himself.
- Carroll previously won a civil case against Trump, with a jury finding him liable for sexually abusing her and awarding her $5 million in damages.
- Despite the jury not finding Trump liable for rape, a judge later stated that Trump 'raped' Carroll as many people commonly understand the term.
- The upcoming trial will determine how much in damages Trump should pay for defamatory comments he made about Carroll in 2019.
