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.
