A federal judge has denied former President Trump's request to delay E. Jean Carroll's defamation lawsuit against him pending appeal of an earlier court decision.
Writer E. Jean Carroll leaves a Manhattan courthouse on May 9, 2023 in New York City after a jury found former President Trump liable for sexually abusing her in a Manhattan department store in the 1990s. The jury awarded her $5 million in damages for her battery and defamation claims.
"The DOJ will not defend me in the E. Jean Carroll civil case, which is all part of the political Witch Hunt, lawyered up by a political operative who I just beat in another case, financed by a big political funder, and ‘judged’ by a Clinton appointee who truly hates ‘TRUMP.’ The statements that I made about Carroll are all true. I didn’t Rape her and other than for this case, I have NO IDEA WHO SHE IS, WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE, OR ANYTHING ABOUT HER," Trump wrote on social media July 12.
In this courtroom sketch, E. Jean Carroll turns around and smiles at the jury as they are being polled after reading the verdict in a Manhattan federal court, Tuesday, May 9, 2023, in New York. Carroll testified that she was raped by former President Trump, giving details about the alleged attack in the mid-1990s. Trump stated that the attack never happened and has denied meeting her. He did not take the stand during the trial.
