A federal judge Monday dismissed former President Trump’s claim that E. Jean Carroll defamed him in May after a jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing the writer.
The day after the verdict, Carroll appeared on CNN and indicated Trump had raped her. The jury had not found Trump liable for rape under New York’s definition, but instead found him liable for sexual abuse.
Trump then claimed Carroll’s insistence on CNN amounted to defamation, filing a counterclaim in Carroll’s other lawsuit that has not yet gone to trial.
U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan on Monday dismissed Trump’s argument, ruling Carroll’s statement on the cable network was substantially true and that “[t]here would have been no different effect on the mind of an average listener.”

Is it correct that the “victim” does not recall where or when the alleged rape occurred???? - and has no witnesses????

The other prosecutions are to keep him from becoming president again. This one is pure harrassment.

“...no substantial difference...”
In order to emphasize his point with two middle fingers Judge Kaplan goes on to defame Trump. He would raise hell if anyone said that about him.

You knew it would be. You must think that we live in a Country where things are done according to Law. Thanks to the voters who elected and reelected Democrats, that Counter went the way of the DoDo Bird. It no longer exists.

No it’s the same. Just an outcome that doesn’t meet some folks expectations.
Well maybe I’m wrong. Trump has been treated with kid gloves so far. Otherwise he’d have been detained or had bail set like you or I would have experienced.

Two different justice systems. "I have a dream". A dream all rat Marxists are sent to the China Muslim camps to make bobblehead Trump dolls for the rest of their lives. That would be true justice.

Some of this is Trump’s own fault. He declined to testify in the original case and thus basically handed Carroll a court victory upon which this decision is based.
True or not, the legal record now states that at least civilly, he sexually abused her.

Where do you sick freaks come from? No one has been treated worse then Trump has, not even mass murders or child killers. The legal system in this country, top to bottom, has been out to get Trump at all costs. The media makes it sound normal, but it has never happened before in this country. It only works because of morons like you.

Of course he did, anyone with half a brain knows why. But obviously you don't.
