Last night, I speculated that we might learn whether E. Jean Carroll intended to sue Trump, again, for defaming her during CNN’s recent town hall, sometime this week. It didn’t take long. Today, Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, wrote to advise the judge in her remaining case in New York, referred to as
I absolutely screamed with joy when this suit came across the tv screen earlier today! Let’s face it, TFG will continue to run his mouth unless someone attaches a monetary value to everything that comes out of it regarding E.Jean! I applaud her guts and stamina for continuing to fight back! Thank you too Joyce for explaining the legal jargon to the rest of us. Peace👏☮️
I think E. Jean Carroll should also sue CNN, for they knowingly and recklessly published the defamatory material by providing the known prevaricator with the very friendly forum for repeating the slander. And they did it for the same reason that Faux News defamed Dominion: $$$
The CEO of CNN, Chris Licht, stated after the event that "we made news tonight." His job is not to make news, it is to report news, not to make sure defamation occurs again and again. It was an entirely foreseeable event and CNN should be held to account for that.
Thank you, Joyce, for distilling a lot of legalese for us lay folks to understand. And kudos once again to E. Jean Carroll for continuing the good fight. Al Capone was brought down by tax evasion. May IQ45 be brought down by a strong and righteous woman.
America encourages students to stand up to bullies and urges schools to support victims of bullying and to do lots of teaching about bullies - - and yet at least one-third of Americans applaud pathetic bullies like Trump and DeSantis and want one of them as president. There's a serious disconnect between what we teach and what we practice.
By fawning over him for so many years and persistently lauding his so-called success, the media in this country has played a significant role in creating the excremental monster that is Donald J. Trump. On top of that, I am absolutely befuddled and exasperated by those who continue to heroize the man.
Good for E. J. Carroll but until the Frumper has to actually pay anything, nothing is gained. This person is abusing the legal system and about 30% of the American public cheers him on. I am enormously frustrated the 'normal' press seems to help perpetuate this fraud.
He really can't help himself so I will bet that regardless of the damages imposed, he will do it again sometime and then fund raise off the fact that she sues him again! And she will win! I hope she gets 25M from this case and donates to worthwhile charities for the poor and working class in New York City!
I would’ve understood if Carroll had NOT gone after Trump AGAIN. It’s courageous to add it on to more litigation. All of us women (& prob men too) are shouting out support for her!
When anyine doesn't pay their bills, the offended party can garnishee their pay check. When a three year old repeatedly breaks a rule, and abuses a toy, we take the toy away.. Trump's properties should be stripped to pay E. Jean.
This kind of behavior by the defendant should prompt the judge to take action irrespective of the plaintiff's wishes. The defendant is thumbing his nose at the court itself, mocking the work of the jury and disregarding the court's ruling as irrelevant. Since a civil court doesn't issue criminal sentences, if I were the judge, I'd just slap on about 5x the judgement for damages in punitive damages to start with, in addition to an order for the defendant to cease his slanderous comments or face increasing punitive damages not limited to seizure of real assets (buildings and golf courses). Money is meaningless to this guy, when he can raise millions from his acolytes off of an indictment. I think he does care about his guilded tower with his name in 10 foot letters on it.
I keep hearing in my head "... and the Hits just keep comin'". Brava for EJC, she's a tough lady of character. This seems to be a well reasoned strategy. "Piling on" in this case is just fine in my book.
Perhaps now, due to the courage of a single woman, perhaps now, Congressmen will stand up and denounce relentlessly, publicly, the vocal violence and bullish behaviors of this former president infecting our public life.
It would be only fair that these attitudes be constantly denounced by Congressmen sitting safely in chambers.
On May 18th Preet Bharara interviewed Tom Nichols who stressed how relentlessly denouncing that is essential for a sane public life. E. Jean shows the way.
E. Jean Carroll strikes again as well she should. Trump just won’t help himself so it will be up to those stronger and smarter to show him the many errors of his ornery ways.

Good for E. Jean Carroll and good for our country.

I'm just letting off steam.
Why is it the only person swinging for truth and Justice is E Jean Carroll. Beat the bastard!

Trump just can’t help himself can he? And the Republicans want to support him again for the Presidency. It’s shameful.
