ABC News settled a defamation lawsuit filed by Donald Trump for $15 million, including a charitable contribution to Trump’s presidential library and legal fees. The suit stemmed from anchor George Stephanopoulos inaccurately stating Trump was “found liable for rape” regarding E. Jean Carroll’s lawsuits, a claim rejected by the court. This settlement, reached before scheduled depositions, has drawn significant criticism from both Democrats and Republicans who accuse ABC News of cowardice and prioritizing profit over journalistic integrity. Legal experts also questioned the network’s decision to settle rather than defend itself in court.

Donald Trump’s recent Memorial Day post attacking E. Jean Carroll is just another display of his despicable behavior.

It is sickening to see someone who should be a figure of leadership and respect using a day meant for honoring fallen soldiers as a platform for his own egotistical agenda.

Jean Carroll case and denying Trump’s motion for a new trial is a significant moment in the ongoing legal battles surrounding the former president.

Already $91 million in the hole, and what does Trump decide to do? Defame E. Jean Carroll some more. It’s truly mind-boggling to witness the lengths this man will go to in order to try and escape accountability for his actions. Despite a jury finding that he forcibly penetrated her vagina against her will, Trump continues to deny any knowledge of E. Jean Carroll, let alone the accusations she has made against him. It’s a sad state of affairs when the leader of a nation, let alone a human being, stoops to such levels of depravity and dishonesty.
To add insult to injury, Trump proudly boasts about posting a $91.6 million bond to defend himself against Carroll’s defamation lawsuit.… Continue reading
It is truly mind-boggling to witness former President Donald Trump continuously deny allegations made against him, especially when a jury has found him liable for his actions. His recent attack on E. Jean Carroll, accusing her of fabricating false accusations, despite the overwhelming evidence against him, only further solidifies his relentless need to deflect accountability.
Trump’s claim that he posted a $91 million bond, when in reality it was an insurance company that fronted the money, showcases his delusional sense of reality. His inability to provide any concrete evidence to support his claims only reinforces the notion that he operates solely on bluster and bravado, rather than facts and truth.… Continue reading
What idiot backed Trump’s bond in the E. Jean Carroll trial? Well, this one did. It turns out that the bond was guaranteed by the Chubb Corporation, which is an insurance group. Not surprising given the dubious relationship between Trump and Chubb’s CEO, Evan Greenberg, who was appointed to a White House advisory committee for trade policy and negotiations by Trump in 2018. This cozy connection raises serious concerns about the motives behind this decision.
Looking at the bigger picture, shareholders of a publicly traded company like Chubb are not going to be pleased when Trump inevitably defaults on that debt.… Continue reading
Despite being found liable for the attack, Trump claims E. Jean Carroll made ‘false accusations’ against him. It’s truly mind-boggling how someone can continue to deny the truth when faced with overwhelming evidence. The fact that Trump has been found guilty not once, but twice, and still has the audacity to label E. Jean Carroll’s claims as false accusations speaks volumes about his character and lack of accountability.
The pattern of behavior displayed by Trump is not surprising at this point. He has a long history of lying, manipulating the truth, and deflecting blame onto others. It seems that no amount of legal consequences or financial penalties can deter him from spewing defamatory statements.… Continue reading
Trump posts $91 million bond to appeal E. Jean Carroll defamation verdict. The news of former President Trump posting a hefty bond to appeal the defamation verdict in the E. Jean Carroll case is not only surprising but raises alarming questions about where the money is coming from. This move comes after Trump was found guilty of defaming Carroll by making derogatory statements about her sexual assault allegations against him. While the appeal process is his legal right, the amount of the bond and the sudden availability of funds for it is cause for concern.
The bond, totaling $91,630,000, means that Trump has put up a substantial amount of money in order to continue fighting the defamation ruling.… Continue reading

For many of us, seeing Trump face accountability for his actions is a long-awaited moment of justice.
