Jury rules Trump must pay E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million in damages for defamation. The news broke, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Finally, justice was being served. As I read the details of the verdict, it became clear that this ruling was not only a blow to Trump’s ego but also to his pocketbook. The damages were broken down into $7.3 million for emotional damage, $11 million for compensatory damages, and a whopping $65 million for punitive damages. It’s a substantial amount that reflects the severity of his defamation against E. Jean Carroll.
Of course, Trump couldn’t resist airing his grievances on his beloved platform, Truth Social.… Continue reading
As a trial attorney myself, I can’t help but cringe at the behavior of Trump’s lawyer, Alina Habba, during the E. Jean Carroll trial. It’s truly astonishing to witness her lack of professionalism and disregard for proper courtroom etiquette. It’s no wonder that the judge threatened her with jail time for continually contesting his rulings.
What strikes me the most about Habba is her apparent lack of qualifications. It’s clear that her only credential is her law license and her physical attractiveness, which seems to be the main reason Trump hired her in the first place. She attended a bottom-tier law school and has no experience with complex cases or the federal courts.… Continue reading
Trump warned about using campaign funds to pay E. Jean Carroll
Honestly, I never really gave it much thought before, but when I saw the headline about Trump potentially using campaign funds to pay off E. Jean Carroll, it didn’t surprise me at all. I mean, where else is he going to get the money? It’s not like he made his fortune through honest means. If he’s not grifting money from his supporters, he’s probably trying to get it from sources like the Kremlin again.
But the fact that Trump could potentially use campaign funds to hush someone he allegedly assaulted is just mind-boggling.… Continue reading
Trump Must Pay $83.3 Million to E. Jean Carroll for Defamation
The recent ruling ordering Donald Trump to pay $83.3 million to E. Jean Carroll for defamation is a significant moment in the fight against sexual assault and the importance of accountability for public figures. The unanimous verdict by the jury not only sends a powerful message that no one is above the law but also highlights the need for victims to have their voices heard and believed.
The fact that Trump was found to have defamed Carroll follows a separate $5 million sexual abuse and defamation judgment issued against him last year.… Continue reading
As news broke that E. Jean Carroll, the woman who accused Donald Trump of sexual assault, had won an $83.3 million defamation lawsuit against him, my mind couldn’t help but ponder what she planned to do with such a significant sum of money. It’s her money, and she deserves every penny, but the possibilities for doing something good with it are endless.
One suggestion that immediately came to mind was to fund private lab testing for rape kits to ensure that physical evidence of sexual assault is handled professionally and quickly. It is disheartening to know that rape kit backlogs still persist in many states, despite the availability of funding.… Continue reading
E. Jean Carroll jury decides Trump must pay $83.3 million. When I read the news, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of satisfaction and vindication. Finally, justice has been served to a man who has continuously defamed and denied the rape accusations made against him by E. Jean Carroll. The jury ruled unanimously, sending a resounding message that actions have consequences, no matter how powerful or influential one may be.
The breakdown of the damages awarded was equally significant. $7.3 million for emotional damage, $11 million in compensatory damages, and a staggering $65 million in punitive damages. These numbers reflect not only the severity of the harm caused but also the message that the court wishes to send–that such behavior will not be tolerated.… Continue reading

Trump Rages Against E. Jean Carroll, Ignores Melania on Wedding Anniversary
As I read the headline “Trump Rages Against E. Jean Carroll, Ignores Melania on Wedding Anniversary,” a whirlwind of emotions hit me. On the one hand, it is disheartening to witness the President of the United States publicly attacking someone while seemingly disregarding a significant milestone in his marriage. On the other hand, it doesn’t come as a surprise, considering the tumultuous nature of Trump’s relationship with Melania.
Melania Trump, often seen as a silent figure beside her husband, has once again taken a backseat to his tirades. It seems that their marriage is nothing more than a superficial agreement, devoid of genuine love and devotion.… Continue reading
Is the Nickname ‘Donald Rapist Trump’ Defamatory? | The former president was found liable for behavior that a judge said is commonly understood as “rape.” So why not call him what he apparently is?

The issue at hand stems from a court case involving writer E. Jean Carroll, who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her in the mid-1990s.
The court case resulted in a judge finding that Carroll’s allegations against Trump were established as a fact, thereby labeling him as a rapist.… Continue reading
