Donald Trump filed a lawsuit against E. Jean Carroll this week for defamation.
The lawsuit comes after a federal jury in New York City ruled last month that Trump was not liable for rape but was liable for sexual abuse and defamation. The former president vowed to appeal the ruling, according to Fox News.
Trump’s 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.
Habba and Madaio said that Carroll’s “repeated falsehoods and defamatory statements” have brought “significant harm” to Trump’s reputation, which has “yielded an inordinate amount of damages sustained as a result.”
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.”
Habba and Madaio also demanded Trump be awarded “counsel fees, costs, and any further relief as this Court may be deem just and proper.”
Carroll, 79, alleged that Trump raped her at the Bergdorf Goodman department store across the street from Trump Tower in Manhattan sometime in 1996.
Trump 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.
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.”
“This verdict is a disgrace,” he told Fox News Digital. “It is a continuation of the greatest political witch hunt in history.”
Carroll has a second defamation suit against Trump that will go to trial early next year.

Hooray awesome
HAS ANYBODY ELSE BESIDES ME, EVER WONDERED WHY THE GOP, AND THE CORRUPT SUPREME COURT, IS STILL DOING NOTHING TO HELP PRESIDENT TRUMP? THIS IS THE THANKS, WE GIVE TO SOMEONE WHO HAS DONE GREAT THINGS FOR AMERICA/AMERICANS?
WHY DOES THE “FAKE NEWS,” CONTINUE TO GO AGAINST AMERICA/AMERICANS? THEY MIGHT AS WELL BE CALLED TERRORISTS, FOR THEY LET MANY “ATROCITIES” HAPPEN, WITHOUT THEIR FAIR REPORTING OF SUCH HAPENINGS.
OUR ENTIRE GOVERNMENT IS A CORRUPT / SHAMBLES, AND NEEDS TO BE TORN DOWN, AND STARTED OVER,,,,,EVERY DEPT.
