Donald Trump on Tuesday night described his conviction for sexual assault as a 'scam' and insisted he was denied a fair trial by a biased Manhattan jury and judge.
The 76-year-old was found guilty of sexually abusing journalist E. Jean Carroll in a New York City department store in the mid 1990s, and defaming her when he said she lied. He was acquitted of rape in the civil trial, but ordered to pay $5 million in damages.
Trump on Tuesday night published a series of three videos on his Truth Social network condemning the verdict and insisting he would appeal.
'The whole thing is a scam,' he said.
'And it's a shame, and it's a disgrace to our country.'

Trump repeated his previous claim that his trial was not fair, because it was held in his hometown of New York City, in the borough of Manhattan where he lived for almost all of his adult life.
Manhattan is a staunchly Democrat borough, and the former president is widely loathed in his hometown.

Civil trial not criminal so no conviction.
I think he did the BEST he could in a place like NYC.
He is better off getting out of that sewer and going for an appeal.
The decision is horrible...but not THAT HORRIBLE.
IN MANY FORMS
IN MANY PLACES
It’s obvious it was a rigged case and a biased judge... but Trump had control over how he treated his deposition, and he didn’t take the case seriously. He’s been involved in thousands of lawsuits in his life and is comfortable in front of a camera, he wasn’t blindsided or oblivious.
Trump knew what he was walking into and yet he made it easy for the jury to find him guilty of something.
This is the playing field we’re working with. Whining about unfairness accomplishes nothing.
Trump probably figures this will get him even more support.
He may be right.
Well, during his disposition, There is a picture of him, his wife and the slut.
0 evidence. How is that even constitutional?
Haha.
Funny that. Even so, completely trumped up.
(So to speak) 😎
Regardless, it’s an excellent, true-that post.
But now he's guilty of rightfully calling her a liar......unbelievable.
It’s time for “Escape from New York” but this time there’s no Snake Pliskin. Wall it off, cut it off. Three cities of immigrants, illegals, complete rabid leftists and opportunistic crooks control the whole damned state. NYC is a HUGE leech on the jugular of America.
Bkmk
“Civil trial not criminal so no conviction.”
True, my error. However, it unfortunately will be considered a great victory by the left and many sheep will believe he has been found guilty of rape.
“I stopped reading your long post right there.
Convictions are for criminal offenses.”
True, my error. However, it unfortunately will be considered a great victory by the left and many sheep will believe he has been found guilty of rape.
...Who is that woman anyway...
An eighty year old who made it to everyone’s death pool.
She may never live to see her payday.
But, all the folks with TDS get their endorphin rush
Maybe if democrats and their butt boys in ‘intelligence’ hadn’t made up so many lies about Trump and used the full power of the US government to push those lies... and if ALL those lies hadn’t been exposed as lies... and maybe if they hadn’t lied about us too...
Maybe we would take bimbos more seriously...
But with democrats?
It’s been too many lies. Too many accusations that were proven lies... Now, we expect rape rooms and hidden messages in high school year books... and crazies in the street burning our cities down while democrats lie and lie and lie ... put on their blindfolds to reality.
What kind of atty prepared Trump for his deposition in the case. Anyone deposed knows you answer with yes no etc. His own deposition was used against him in court.
The woman is a mental case. Just listen to a CNN interview with her.

It’s a damn shame that courts have become politicized. The scales of justice have rusted and the public can no longer rely on a fair and honest judicial system.
