Donald Trump filed a lawsuit against E. Jean Carroll this week for defamation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lawsuit comes after a federal jury in New York City ruled last month that\u00a0Trump was not liable for rape\u00a0but was liable for sexual abuse and defamation.\u00a0The former president vowed to appeal the ruling, according to Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Trump\u2019s lawyers Alina Habba and Michael Madaio filed the lawsuit this week said the rape “clearly was not committed,” pointing to the jury verdict last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Habba and Madaio said that Carroll\u2019s “repeated falsehoods and defamatory statements” have brought “significant harm” to Trump\u2019s reputation, which has “yielded an inordinate amount of damages sustained as a result.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Habba and Madaio is demanding Carroll “retract her defamatory statements” against the former president; deny all relief and purported damages sought by Carroll; and award Trump “compensatory and punitive damages.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Habba and Madaio also demanded Trump be awarded “counsel fees, costs, and any further relief as this Court may be deem just and proper.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Carroll, 79, alleged that\u00a0Trump\u00a0raped her\u00a0at the Bergdorf Goodman department store across the street from Trump Tower in Manhattan sometime in 1996.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Trump and his legal team insist that Carroll’s allegations are fabricated, with the former president’s initial reaction including an accusation that Carroll was motivated by wanting to sell copies of her book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an exclusive interview last month just after the jury delivered the verdict, Trump told Fox News Digital that he has “absolutely no idea who this woman is.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This verdict is a disgrace,” he told Fox News Digital. “It is a continuation of the greatest political witch hunt in history.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carroll has a second defamation suit against Trump that will go to trial early next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
