Appeals court affirms E. Jean Carroll case jury verdict, gives Trump 90 days to appeal to SCOTUS

"President Trump will keep winning against Liberal Lawfare, as he is focusing on his mission to Make America Great Again," a Trump spokesperson said

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the jury verdict in E. Jean Carroll's case that found President Trump liable for sexually assaulting her, giving him 90 days to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

In 2023, a Manhattan federal court found Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming Carroll, and ordered him to pay her $5 million in damages.

On Thursday, the appeals court affirmed the verdict weeks after it rejected Trump's bid to have the full judicial lineup in the circuit rehear his appeal, CNBC reported. In December, a three-judge panel of the circuit court ruled against Trump's appeal of the jury verdict.

A legal spokesperson for Trump told CNBC in a statement on Thursday: "The American People are supporting President Trump in historic numbers, and they demand an immediate end to the political weaponization of our justice system and a swift dismissal of all of the Witch Hunts, including the Democrat-funded Carroll Hoaxes.

Carroll has claimed to have been assaulted by numerous men other than Donald Trump, including a babysitter’s boyfriend, a dentist, a camp counselor, an unnamed college date, an unnamed boss, and CBS chief executive Les Moonves. Her lawsuit against Trump was funded by Democrat billionaire Reid Hoffman.

Here’s what you need to know about E. Jean Carroll, that was previously reported here on The Gateway Pundit. Most of these information were deemed “inadmissible” by the judge per John LeFevre:
• She couldn’t recall the date, month, season, or year the incident happened
• She never told anyone about it, despite being publicly obsessed with her own sexuality
• The dress she claims to have been wearing didn’t exist at the time
• Her description of the dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman was inaccurate, making her sequence of events impossible
• Her lawsuit was bankrolled by Jeffrey Epstein pal and Democrat (and Nikki Haley) mega-donor Reid Hoffman
• Democrats created a law (The Adult Survivors Act in 2022) to enable her lawsuit to proceed
• Her accusation is the exact plotline of an episode of Law & Order (one of her “favorite shows”)
• Trump’s Apprentice was also one of her favorite shows
• She has a history of falsely accusing men of rape, including Les Moonves
• She told Anderson Cooper, “most people think of rape as being sexy. Think of the fantasies.”
• She made a career promoting promiscuity, even writing glowingly of sexual assault and naming her cat Vagina
Carroll’s interviews on TV, social media posts, and inconsistent information concerning her allegations should have been enough to throw out any case, but not with Judge Kaplan.

There is no way that this case should have been brought to court. Trump was not even told what month or year the ridiculous story actually took place.
Trump is not the first guy she’s accused of rape she has a long history of making up bogus rape claims..
Donald Trump’s lawyers intend to appeal his staggering $83.3 million defamation lawsuit loss to E. Jean Carroll by arguing there was an ‘insane’ conflict of interest at the heart of the case.

The former president’s legal team may be appealing on the grounds there was a conflict of interest between Carroll’s lawyer and the judge presiding over her case.

Trump’s firebrand attorney Alina Habba claimed she was unaware that Judge Lewis Kaplan and Carroll’s lawyer Roberta Kaplan - who are not related - worked together in the early 1990s, with the judge serving as her ‘mentor’, reports the New York Post.

‘It was never disclosed. It’s insane and so incestuous,’ Habba said, arguing their alleged close relationship was never disclosed and she only became aware of it after the conclusion of the case.

She does sound hideous, but so many vaginas have been named after cats that I don't fault her for this.

She has a cat named Vagina T. Fireball. This chick has sex on the brain. The whole Trump thing was in my opinion a fantasy she relived over and over until she believed it was real.

Yesterday I saw a YouTube clip of her being interviewed by Kathy Griffin. Both were dreadful but Carroll was actually WORSE than Griffin. She did weird things with her fingers on her mouth — like Dr. Evil.

Not only was the description of the dressing room wrong, ALL dressing rooms in B&G are automatically LOCKED when the person/people have left the room and so, a sales woman MUST open the door, WITH A KEY, before a new shopper can get into a room.

And dear old E. Jean claimed that she took articles from a rack and that she & Trump just went into any old dressing room. 100% WRONG re both of those claims! A sales woman also takes the articles from the shopper AND has to unlock the door.

There are also other things incorrectly stated, besides those toy listed and what I am posting.

Carroll is nothing but a con artist in need of serious jail time.

Regarding the date of the claimed assault, she KNEW she could not specify one because DJT could conclusively reject her claim. Trump is a shrewd businessman. As part of his management, his movements among his properties would be catalogued along with his meetings and daily itinerary, because they would substantiate his tax deductions claimed as part of his filings. They would remain retrievable because of frequent audits. Carroll’s attorney would have known declaring a specific date would be instant destruction of their case.

Correct. In all three of the kangaroo NYC trials the Democrat hack judges rigged the verdict and prevented Trump from defending himself. A black man accused of raping a white woman in the old Jim Crow south had a better chance at a fair trial that Trump in NYC.

Democrats are smart to concentrate on confirming judges. Republicans never seem to care for appointing except Supreme Court. Even trumps second term has not been focused on getting judges appointed. Big mistake.

Peck on the cheek was deemed sexual assault if that was the case half of congress would be in prison
