Trump fumed in a 1 am post after a jury found him liable for sexual assault and defamation.
Former President Donald Trump spent Tuesday night raging on Truth Social after a Manhattan jury found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming longtime columnist E. Jean Carroll.
The jury on Tuesday awarded Carroll $5 million in damages. Trump fumed over the verdict on his social network.
„I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHO THIS WOMAN IS THIS VERDICT IS A DISGRACE – A CONTINUATION OF THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME!“ he wrote.
Trump called Judge Lewis Kaplan, who oversaw the trial, „A TRUMP HATING, CLINTON APPOINTED JUDGE, WHO WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE RESULT WAS AS NEGATIVE AS IT COULD POSSIBLY BE.“ Trump also claimed that the jury was „FROM AN ANTI-TRUMP AREA WHICH IS PROBABLY THE WORST PLACE IN THE U.S. FOR ME TO GET A FAIR ‚TRIAL,'“ referring to the city where he was born and raised.
The former president previously demanded to have his hush-money case moved from Manhattan to Staten Island, where he received more than 60% of the vote in 2020 while losing Manhattan 85-15.
