E. Jean Carroll, fresh off her victory in a federal appeals court on Monday, bragged about employing “tricks” in order to sway a jury hostile to President Donald Trump.
To win the case, Carroll said she and her attorneys sought to make her “f**kable” in the eyes of jurors who might otherwise have been doubtful that President Trump desired to sexually assault her in an upscale department store dressing room 30 years ago.
“I had a talkshow in 1996. I went through that, took screenshots of my hair, cut it in a bob, and then I found the hairdresser and the makeup person who made me look like that in 1996,” Carroll explained in a recent interview.
The makeup artist “came every day to trial” to “do my hair and makeup” before Carroll faced the jurors.
It was “exactly like it was in 1996. I wore the exact same clothes,” she continued.
Of course, the passage of time makes it impossible for Carroll to fully transform into her younger self, “but I looked like someone who could have looked like” the victim in the case, she laughed.
“It was enough, it was enough. It was a trick,” she admitted.
President Trump was dealt a setback on Monday when a second federal appeals court ruled that a lower court did not err in upholding a judgment against him. Carroll was awarded $83.3 million after first alleging in 2019 that Trump sexually assaulted her in the dressing room of a Bergdorf Goodman store in the mid-1990s.
Though he was not found guilty of rape, a New York jury found Trump liable for civil battery and defamation stemming from statements he made about the case.
In his appeal, Trump leaned heavily on a 2024 U.S. Supreme Court decision, which concluded that presidents are immune from official acts taken while in office, thereby rendering him immune from the suit. The court’s rejection of that argument followed an earlier rejection by a lower court, as reported by Reuters.
Trump has denied ever meeting Carroll and dismissed her lawsuit as frivolous, Just The News reported.
“This woman is not my type!” Trump wrote in 2022 about the former fashion magazine writer.
Trump’s 2022 social media post resulted in a $5 million judgment, but the largest portion — $65 million — consists of punitive damages after a jury found Trump acted with malice, the NYT reported.
Attorneys for President Trump have promised to bring their appeal to the Supreme Court.
Mixed messaging over the decision has resulted in defamation claims brought by Trump, as well. ABC News reached a $15 million settlement with Trump following George Stephanopoulos falsely claiming Trump had been found guilty of rape multiple times during an interview.
lawfare. May they burn in hell.
I was shocked to learn that she made the same accusations against several other people including a former President of CBS,Leslie Moonves. I was even more shocked to learn the only person sued in civil court was President Trump.
TRUMP WOULD NEVER GO NEAR THAT PIECE OF WORK
I did notice that. She's not only a loony toon she's stupid.
Unfortunately so are the juries, the judges and the prosecutors.
It took a crooked judge running manipulating the trial to get the conviction.
High-end department stores have excellent security.
The department store would have video recordings of going in & out of dressing rooms and the store.
A competent lawyer or the “Special Victims” unit of the NYPD could and would have secured those recordings.

Definitely NOT the lines along which he should be seeking an appeal. It’s most likely to get him his cash back, but it won’t clear his name. He needs to argue that the trial was not fair.
She made up the entire story, didn’t she? Who funded her lawsuit?
Ni juries are made up of mostly Oprzh winfrey and The View viewers.......dumb as they come.
The problem is she couldn't. Initially she put the date of buying and wearing the dress and the "rape" to sometime in 1994, but when the designer noted that the dress was not sold until several years later, she changed her story to sometime late 1996, early 1997.
That of course had no impact on the case.
She used a tv episode of Law and Order that was the plot she used against Trump.
I do not know if Trump was allowed to bring that up. I suspect not.
Also the judges daughter is making millions which means the judge is being bribed. E. Jean Carroll is a nut who paints trees and rocks blue and has since she was a child accused I think 7 men of sexually abusing her.
Some court would throw this out. Is it going it the supreme court?
Bingo
Agree
And well paid
Agree NYC doesn’t have much going for it in some time now.
Check
She couldn’t be made f**kable with the best makeup artists in Hollywood.
Talk about the totally unimpeachable witness!
No matter how brazenly she lies her testimony is allowed and even believed.
It’s way past time to start prosecuting corrupt judges.
