President Donald Trump is complaining to a federal court about the millions of dollars he was recently forced to pay out in the long-running defamation case brought and won by writer E. Jean Carroll.
Now, with the money already in Carroll’s possession, Trump’s legal team is alleging that Carroll’s legal team misled the court.
“While the funds remained safely in CRIS, counsel assured this Court that they would be placed in an ‘interest-bearing account,’” the reply brief goes on. “After securing possession, Plaintiff disclosed that the funds were instead placed in a personal investment account for her retirement—and invoked the S&P 500 to justify keeping them there. That was not a clarification. It was a bait-and-switch on the precise assurance used to resist judicial intervention.”
Say she lied again.
Was that a defamatory remark from the defamator-in-chief, again? Cha-ching!
I see what you did there.
And while we all know what an impulsive and dim-witted narcissist President Trump is - and the fact that he’s been found liable for sexual assault, and maintained a years-long association with Jeffrey Epstein, it is noteworthy that:
He knows not to make this mistake again, namely of openly stating that she lied.
But I can certainly be wrong. He might just do it again. We’ll see.
If I was in the press corps, that’s the first question I’d ask. “Predisent Trump, you were recently forced to pay 5 million dollars to E. Jean Carroll for her claim that you raped her. How do you respond to that?”
Whatever he said would have to be worth another 100 million or something.
