Ex-DOJ Official: 'Sure Sounds Like' Trump Just Wrote Third Lawsuit From E. Jean Carroll
HuffPost
Neal Katyal said there are "many days" he wants to be Carroll's lawyer Roberta Kaplan and this is one of them.
Obama-era acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal on Sunday suggested Donald Trump may have crossed the line once again with his latest verbal attack of E. Jean Carroll — and warned the former president may now face a third defamation lawsuit from the writer.
Trump, during a campaign rally in Rome, Georgia, on Saturday, railed against having to post a nearly $92 million bond in his appeal against the $83.3 million in damages that he was ordered to pay in January for defaming the columnist.
It followed Trump last year being ordered to pay Carroll $5 million after a jury found him liable for sexual assault after she accused him of raping her in the 1990s, and defamation when he denied the claims and attacked Carroll’s character.
“91 million based on false accusations made about me by a woman that I knew nothing about,” Trump raged among other derogatory comments at the weekend.
MSNBC’s Jen Psaki asked Katyal if Trump had defamed Carroll again.
