Former President Donald Trump told Fox News Digital that he will appeal the ruling in the E. Jean Carroll civil case, saying he has "absolutely no idea" who she is while blasting the verdict as a "disgrace" and "a continuation of the greatest political witch hunt in history."
A federal jury in New York City decided Tuesday that Trump was not liable for rape but was liable for sexual abuse and defamation. The former president has been ordered to pay $5 million.
"This verdict is a disgrace," he told Fox News Digital. "It is a continuation of the greatest political witch hunt in history."
"We'll appeal. We got treated very badly by the Clinton-appointed judge," Trump said. "And [Carroll] is a Clinton person, too."

She is the arrogant crone who can now boast “I’m the one who brought Trump down.”
Unless appeals work out.
I’ve reached the point where I truly despise the New York City jury pool. I wish them the worst of EVERYTHING!
From what I’ve read, Trump’s lawyers put up no defense. They just naively believed that the jury would do the right thing.
Did I read that wrong? Or are Trump’s lawyers idiots? Or are they part of the fix?
We are now living in a bizarro world. So I suppose that any of those possibilities are equally possible.
NY specifically temporarily extended the statute of limitations to allow this woman to sue Trump specifically.
That is an illegal bill of attainer basically
NY deserves to wallow in its own filth and decay. All the cops should resign and move elsewhere, and let Al Sharpton and his cronies run the place right into the ground.
She is also the arrogant crone who could not even pinpoint what year this happened.
The arrogant crone who made up this charge from watching a Law and Order SVU TV show.
The arrogant crone who has rape fantasies.
Even without a successful appeal I doubt this will bring Trump down. They’ve cried wolf far too many times.
What became of Tara Reade?
There is the truth.
As i understand things, Trump’s lawyers knew from the get go they could not win.
So they will take this on appeal out of NYC and they will prevail.
If you are a Republican, you can’t get a fair trial in NYC or DC. Jury pool is tainted.
> That is an illegal bill of attainer basically <
It is. And it’s something that’s prohibited in the Constitution. But, hey. The media will argue that this is a civil case, and not a criminal one. Plus Trump is a bad guy anyway.
Folks who watch CNN will buy that. The GOP elites know that Trump is being railroaded here. But they will say nothing. After all, it’s almost martini time at the country club.
“Trump’s lawyers put up no defense”
Sounds like that.
“Plus Trump is a bad guy anyway”
Wish these bastards would use that reasoning about George Floyd. Or Michael Brown. Or Freddie Gray.
That’s why he’s appealing.
Defense is a waste of time with a DC or NYC jury.
Depressing, which means you are almost undoubtedly right.
Trying to find justice now is like trying find a three-legged ballerina.
Or play Pick Up Stix with our butt cheeks. (John Candy in Planes, Trains and Automobiles).
She is not getting unlimited money to pursue her case from George Conway, etc and the people funding him against Trump.
That’s what is happening with her.
