E. Jean Carroll says courtroom was a ‘campaign stop’ for Trump
CNN ^ | 01/29/2024 | By Kristina Sgueglia and Karl de Vries, CNN

Posted on 01/29/2024 10:35:22 AM PST by Responsibility2nd

E. Jean Carroll, the former magazine columnist to whom a jury awarded $83.3 million in damages last week as part of a defamation trial against Donald Trump, said on CNN Monday that the court proceedings were little more than a “campaign stop” for the former president.

“The courtroom was not a courtroom to him, it was a campaign stop. That was clear,” Carroll said on “CNN This Morning.”

“He’s using me to win voters. Sexual assault. A man found liable for sexual assault is using the woman he sexually assaulted to get votes.”

Carroll has alleged Trump raped her in a department store in the mid-1990s and then defamed her when he denied her claim. A Manhattan federal jury last year found Trump liable for sexual abuse. Trump has denied the allegations.

E Jean is a psycho liar. No one believes her crazy story. It’s disgusting that the NY judicial system used it to damage Trump.

“No one believes her crazy story.”

Her story would be good enough for a TV series.

I’d believe it at first if I had not seen the security system of a Macy’s store and worked retail.

Trump should not have left the courtroom.

Thank you for the link.

Look, between you and me, I got less than one page into it
and bowed out. She is extremely annoying the things she
brings up.

One thing I did find interesting. She can perfectly remember
the day one person did something to her. The day Trump was
reported to have done something to her, she can’t remember
the day, the month, the year, or even the season.

She claimed it was in 1994, then 1995, and even 1996.

She says she told her friends after it happened. Evidently
they can’t refresh her memory on when it happened, so you
have to wonder why not.

The jury refused to convict on rape. The judge then made
comments in public that it was probably rape.

There was no closed circuit TV. There were no witnesses.

She has accused other well known people of doing something
like this to her also. She said Les Moonves the former CEO
of CBS did.

She worked with the New York state to get a law passed so
she could file suit against Trump after the statute of
limitations expired.

She never pinned down a date, and Trump could not level a
defense of himself based on his schedule, even if he was
in the nation at the time.

Trump was prevented from bringing a lot of stuff like this
up, but she was able to get some television footage entered
into evidence, that had nothing to do with the case. It
was a segment where he said he had done some things with
women, which had nothing to do with this case. It was
very prejudicial. The judge allowed it.

Note, you can’t as a man talk about a woman’s past, no
matter what, but she could get this video clip entered
as evidence in the trial. Even if he had been convicted
before of a similar charge, they could not have mentioned
that before the jury, but they could do this.

Even up to the state level, this case was rigged.

There are a number of other issues too.

This one stinks to high heavens.

Yes, you’re right. I have not read her work. I did read
some of her thoughts that was linked up thread.

It read like a Penthouse letter to the editor. I forget
what they called that section. It was twisted. It wasn’t
something I wanted to wade into more than once or twice.

I try to understand how others see things, and so I did
wade in. After reading a few of the submissions, it’s
just not something I want to read at all, let alone a
regular basis.

She’s into that stuff, and even from a young age I had
serious doubts about people who found that something to
write or read on a regular basis.

It sure wasn’t something I wanted to focus on long term.

She writes it. It’s her profession. Yikes.

The chances that Trump ever came near this whack job are about the same as me getting a date with Jason Mamoa. 🙄

Agree

I love how CNN even confirms how totally false this accusation

Bill Clinton rapes five women and walks away free CNN leaves no democrat behind.

And there’s the Biden crime family saga.
