Carroll sued the former president over defamation stemming from his sexual assault of her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room.
Trump was found liable for defaming Carroll based on a Truth Social post in which he called Carroll’s case “a complete con job” in October. Trump had previously denied Carroll’s claim that he raped her in a dressing room decades ago, calling the allegations a “hoax and a lie” and saying she’s not his type.
“He said the photo was blurry. But that’s the photo, ladies and gentlemen,” Kaplan, showing the photo of Carroll, her then-husband, Trump and Ivana Trump, in the 1980s, contradicting his claim that he had never met the writer. “The truth is that E. Jean Carroll, a former cheerleader and Ms. Indiana, was exactly Donald Trump’s type.”Trump’s legal team did not call any witnesses in the former president’s defense, and Trump did not end up casually swinging by the proceedings.
Carroll herself took the stand in emotion testimony that explained why she kept silent. “Why did you think it was your fault, Ms. Carroll?” asked one of her attorneys, Michael Ferrara.“Because I was flirting with him and laughing and having one of the great times. It was high comedy. It was funny,” Carroll said.
