E. Jean Carroll Shares Heartbreaking 5 Words After Trump's Win
HuffPost
The writer successfully sued the former president for sexually abusing and defaming her.
E. Jean Carroll, the writer whom Donald Trump was found liable of sexually abusing and defaming, shared a short and poignant post on Wednesday after the Republican was elected president again.
“I tried to tell you,” she wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Carroll, a longtime advice columnist, said Trump raped her in a New York department store dressing room in 1996.
In May 2023, a jury awarded her $5 million and found Trump had sexually abused but not raped her. It also found that he had defamed her by claiming she was lying about it. Trump denies he did either.
