Donald Trump took to social media to blast E. Jean Carroll ahead of the second defamation trial involving the magazine columnist.
Former President Donald Trump used social media to attack E. Jean Carroll for the beginning of his second defamation trial Tuesday in New York City.
«After a historic win in Iowa, I am going to the Biden encouraged Witch Hunt in Lower Manhattan to fight against a FAKE Case from a woman I have never met, seen, or touched [Celebrity Lines don’t count!],» Trump posted at 8:56 a.m. «Naturally, it starts right after Iowa, and during the very important New Hampshire Primary where, despite their sinister attempts, I will be tonight!»
The impetus for that trial were statements Trump made in 2019, regarding Carroll’s sexual assault allegations, in which he said, «She’s not my type,» and suggested she was trying to financially benefit from such accusations. The new trial, coming after repeated Trump remarks allegedly defamed Carroll again, will determine how much Carroll will receive in damages.
Trump’s Truth Social account, followed by 6.56 million users, posted myriad videos, interview quotes and past statements made by Carroll regarding sex, male-female relations, and her personal life between 8:56 a.
