Jean Carroll in a Memorial Day post on Truth Social.'Happy Memorial Day to All, including the Human Scum that is working so hard to destroy our Once Great Country, & to the Radical Left, Trump Hating Federal Judge in New York that presided over, get this, TWO separate trials, that awarded a woman, who I never met before , 91 MILLION DOLLARS for 'DEFAMATION,'' Trump wrote on Monday.
Carroll failed to prove that she was 'raped' within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump 'raped' her as many people commonly understand the word 'rape,' ' Kaplan wrote in a July ruling denying Trump's motion for a new trial.'Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that,' the judge concluded.
