E. Jean Carroll may sue former President Donald Trump a third time following his comments about the writer at the Wednesday night CNN town hall, according to the New York Times.
Go for it, E. Jean. Maybe if he has to keep defending himself in court he’ll temper his speech. Well, that’s unlikely, but collecting more damages would be swell.
She’d be a fool not to. Maybe he can use a diminished capacity defense.
I hope she doubles the damages she seeks from what she was awarded by the jury earlier this week.
Looking for co-authors for an adaptation of John B. Sails. I’ve only got a start on the chorus:
File the briefs for the boor Donnie,
Please do it soon and this time sue for way more money.
Double what the Jury awarded on Tuesday, and just for grins, demand his 757 along with it.
Do it!! Now who’s laughing?
hahahaha!
His deposition was such a disaster. One would think that with that one already in the bag, it would be a chip shot to get another judgment against him.
Depends whose money gets spent on it. Also, she’s 79. She should enjoy what years she has. (though of course maybe she’d enjoy another go at the orange squirreltop)
There’s pretty solid evidence that he is severely BD/LD.
Nothing to lose. More money to gain.
There’s a non-trivial chance that TFG is right now trying to settle the $5 mil case before it is entered into judgement. The reasoning is that there’s likely other wronged women out there considering going for damages under the one year suspension of the statute of limitations granted by the NY Adult Survivors Act. If the judgement is entered, any other litigant can point to that judgement to establish that a civil court found TFG liable for sexual assault, and they found that he defamed the victim. Those two items get entered into the new case as established facts.
So, musing aloud about “maybe I’ll sue again” could be part of that settlement negotiation. We, of course, would prefer she not settle. But what she gets out of it is getting paid rather than having to spend the next five years chasing down his assets.
Get the money damages from his people first, honey. Then go back to court.
Time and money is available to be lost. I just said that.
Can she sue CNN as well for letting him spout his garbage without challenge or pulling the plug on his mic?
He just filed notice of appeal.
It's official.

Unlikely.
(I am neither a lawyer nor a constitutional scholar, but this still seems fairly obvious to me.)
Didn’t help faux re dominion.
But – and I speak under correction here – Dominion went to considerable length and effort to show that Fox knew that the claims were false and repeated them on air anyway, for crass business reasons, whereas CNN has a perfectly plausible claim that they just f-ked up and lost control of their own show. No?
