American author Carroll again takes action against Trump for insult American author Carroll again takes action against Trump for insult

Almost two weeks after Donald Trump was sentenced to millions in damages for sexual abuse and defamation, the American author E. Jean Carroll is again taking legal action against the former US president.

The reason for this was insults that Trump made against the writer on CNN the day after the verdict, American media reported unanimously on Monday (local time), citing the documents that Carroll had submitted to a New York court. That is why she is now demanding a “very substantial” amount.

E. Jean Carroll leaves Manhattan federal court Tuesday, May 9, 2023, in New York.  A jury found Donald Trump liable for sexually assaulting the advice columnist in 1996 and awarded her $5 million…

A New York grand jury ruled on May 9 that Trump had assaulted and sexually assaulted Carroll in a luxury New York department store in 1996. The jury also sentenced Trump (76) to pay the 79-year-old a total of five million dollars (about 4.56 million euros) for defamation. Trump appealed the verdict.

The day after the verdict, Trump reportedly again denied Carroll’s account of the incident on CNN, accusing the author of a “fabricated story”. Trump also claimed he never met Carroll and called her a “crazy”. According to the reports, the documents now submitted to the court mean that Trump’s behavior should result in “very hefty” damages, also to prevent the ex-president from making further insults.

Writer Carroll accused Trump of raping her in a New York department store in the mid-1990s. The jury rejected the rape charge. The real estate entrepreneur, who was not yet active as a politician at the time, had always rejected all accusations. The criminal charges are time-barred, but under civil law, 79-year-old Carroll was free to take legal action. (sda/dpa)
