Trump Sues Accuser for Defamation After Sexual Abuse Verdict
TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump has countersued E. Jean Carroll, the advice columnist who accused him of rape, seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, as well as a retraction of her statements. Trump's lawyers argue that Carroll continued to insist she was raped even after a jury found him not guilty, and they claim that her statements were false or made with reckless disregard for the truth. Carroll's attorney responded, stating that Trump's filing is an attempt to delay accountability for his defamation of Carroll, and that accountability is imminent.
