Trump was ordered to pay Carroll $88.3 million after being found civilly liable for defaming and sexually abusing her.
Writer E. Jean Carroll has weighed in on President-elect Donald Trump’s upcoming return to the White House.
Carroll won two lawsuits against Trump over her claim that he raped her at a New York City department store in the 1990s. He was found liable for defamation and sexual abuse, ordered to pay Carroll a total of $88.3 million. Trump denies Carroll’s claim and has since appealed.
On Wednesday, within hours of the president-elect defeating Vice President Kamala Harris to secure a second term, Carroll expressed disappointment on social media that her warnings about Trump appeared to have little impact on the election’s outcome.
“I tried to tell you”, Carroll wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
In the days leading up to the election, Carroll shared posts to X that indicated she was voting “for the candidate who does not assault women” and reminding voters that Trump was ordered to pay her “because a unanimous federal jury found he lied.
