On Tuesday, a jury simultaneously rejected E. Jean Carroll’s allegations of rape against Donald Trump but held him responsible for sexual misconduct and defamation.
One of the more curious aspects of this case was that the only reason Carroll was even able to sue Donald Trump was because of a law passed in New York in 2022 called the Adult Survivors Act. This legislation, signed by Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, introduced a “one-year lookback window for survivors of sexual assault” to legally pursue their alleged abusers, irrespective of when the abuse took place. Many argued it was passed specifically to let Carroll take her absurd allegations to court and punish Trump
It turns out those claims weren’t mere conspiracy theories. In a surprising revelation, E. Jean Carroll’s attorney, Roberta Kaplan, acknowledged that Carroll played a role in advocating for the passage of the aforementioned law.
“The fact that New York passed this law, the Adult Survivors Act,” CNN’s Poppy Harlow said while interviewing both Carroll and Kaplan. “They passed it just a few years ago. Were it not for that law, you never would have been able to bring this case.”
“Exactly. This would never — I would never have this window, this year of having the ability to bring a lawsuit for rape,” Carroll responded, then pointed to her attorney and said. “Robbie can explain it better.”
“Well, E. Jean actually helped to get that law passed,” Kaplan admitted. “It passed last year. We filed – it was Thanksgiving Day, the first day you could sue. We filed it just after midnight on Thanksgiving. And there are a lot of other women throughout the state and, hopefully, throughout this country, that they will get other laws like this passed in other states. ..."

BREAKING: E. Jean Carroll and her lawyer admit on CNN that they worked with New York Democrats to pass a law allowing people to sue for a sexual assault case outside of the 20 year window.

This is interesting. Her attorney admitted on national television that E. Jean Carroll actively participated in advocating for the passage of the law, which ultimately allowed her to file a case against Trump in November, mere days after he announced his presidential campaign. It’s also worth noting here that that lawsuit was reportedly funded by billionaire Democrat donor Reid Hoffman.
So not only was the civil suit a politically motivated attack, but it was also an attack that required an act of the Democrat-controlled New York State legislature and the Democrat governor of New York to make it possible. Does that sit well with you? Just how corrupt is this conspiracy to get Trump? Among other things, we’ve seen the Russian collusion hoax, two impeachments, the bogus Bragg case, and now this.
Interesting that the law expires after one year.
Whatever factors led to an adult woman not reporting a sexual assault years ago are still in play today.
The law has the potential to take a great deal of court time with cases that are very much he said she said and don’t lend themselves to clear verdicts. Then come the appeals afterward. So the powers that be don’t want it going on forever.
I hope the rest of the gold-digging bitch’s life is a living hell.
If true, I’d think a constitutional issue would be raised here.
Total scam, simply meant to disturb some suburban women.
If laws can be passed to take effect retroactively, then, there is nothing that prevents anybody from pursuing lawsuits as far back as the beginning of history.
What was ‘lawful’ or that there were no laws that applied, can become unlawful in the future, if the need arises.
That kind of law should never be used to be applied to something that wasn’t wrong in the past, even if the law might have been called for in the past.
“if you’ve ever had a bad meal in a restaurant, now you can sue no matter how long ago you ate it! Or if you’ve ever had Bad service in a restaurant, now you can sue no matter how long ago you suffered!”
There were plenty of people, plenty of New Yorkers, who despised Trump in his tabloid days, the 80s and 90s. The bragging and preening and trading in used wives for the new model.
Carroll could have made her charges then and have been believed. She would have gotten plenty of, what’s a man supposed to think when you offer to let him in a changing room with you while you try on lingerie, but she would have had defenders too.
That would be if she could show that they actually did meet at BG and went in together.
Perchance the cnn townhall was arranged/timed to be a trap afterward. Or could be a coincidence. If it was a trap it backfired.
Does seem bogus. Maybe they are getting around it by it being for lawsuits rather than criminal charges?
You are right on the scheme, Reid Hoffman and the democrat party in NY engineered and paid for this scam to stop Trump.
They bought the Legislature, the Governor and the Judge with Reid’s unlimited funding.
Judge’s name is Lewis Kaplan, a grad of Harvard, and Carroll’s attorney is Roberta Kaplan, also a Harvard Grad.
If that doesn’t stink to high Heaven I don’t know what does. New York is corrupt as any democrat city could be.
Exactly. How is this not a Bill of Attainder?
New Yawk has been corrupt for a long, long, long time.
First...E. filed within minutes of it going into effect. That makes Hochul a conspirator.
Second...It's a temporary law...good for one year...so any suit against it has to be settled within the year or it becomes moot. Someone really thought this out. Cute...dirty as they come
Absolutely terrible.
That we don’t have anyone on our side that is willing to fight this dirty.
So...how many other cases were ‘resusciatated’ by this horrid ‘law’?
Or, was this another poorly disquised attack on DJT?
And then he pulled down her tights. All you women...like myself....know this would be pretty close to impossible. AND then she kneed him...which would absolutely be impossible.
And then she calmly walked out of the store and phoned a friend...and laughed about it.......lol
