Donald Trump HAS been down this road several times….
Sexual misconduct situatrions that costs him money….
What does he do in this case?
He double’s down…..
Whenever Donald Trump speaks, somewhere out there a young lawyer makes partner.
During a campaign rally in Rome, Georgia last night, the former president once again claimed that E. Jean Carroll had falsely accused him of raping her.
Trump’s comments came days after he had secured a $91.6 million bond to cover the whopping judgement ($83 million plus interest) in Carroll’s recent defamation case while he appeals the decision. A jury previously awarded Carroll $5 million in a 2022 case that found Trump liable for sexually abusing her in the ’90s and later defaming her by claiming she had concocted her allegations.
“Can you believe this,” he said on Saturday. “Sometimes it’s not good to be rich. I just posted a 91 million dollar bond, 91 million, on a fake story, totally made up story. Think of it… Based on false accusations made about me by a woman that I knew nothing about, didn’t know, never heard of.”
His tirade raised the immediate question of whether Trump—who faces 91 criminal counts, a fraud penalty that will top $450 million, and an array of other legal entanglements—had once again exposed himself to legal jeopardy by making comments similar to those that courts have twice found defamatory….

Now that Trump has found a sugar daddy to bail him out on his $91 M defamation judgment, he is on the attack again. Money is an insufficient deterrent here.

One day after posting a $91 million bond that allows him to appeal the defamation judgment he owes E. Jean Carroll, Donald Trump might have defamed her again and opened himself up to a third lawsuit.
Last night in Georgia, he said Carroll’s story was “totally made up.”
“$91 million based on false accusations made about me by a woman that I knew nothing about, didn’t know, never heard of. I know nothing about her. She wrote a book. She said things. And when I denied it — I said, ‘It’s so crazy. It’s false’ — I get sued for defamation.
