The Never-Ending Trump And Carroll Legal Saga -Trump Appeals Verdict

Former President Donald Trump has filed a notice of appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit after being found liable for sexual battery and defamation of writer E. Jean Carroll.

The nine-member jury awarded Carroll $5 million in damages, with $2 million for the sexual battery claim and $3 million for defamation.

Explosive CNN comments and the feline named after a female body part

This notice of appeal comes a day after Trump called Carroll a “whack job” and again denied her accusations during a CNN town hall event.

Trump also claimed that the judge in Carroll’s case wouldn’t allow his attorneys to enter several things into evidence, including that Carroll’s cat was named after female anatomy.

“Her dog, or her cat, was named [after a female’s body part]. The judge wouldn’t allow us to put that in — all of these things — but with her, they could put in anything: Access Hollywood,” Trump said.

In response to Trump’s comments, Carroll called them “stupid,” “disgusting, vile,” and “foul” in a Thursday interview with the New York Times.

She also stated that Trump knows he did it and is glad they won the case.

Trump likely to face another Lawsuit from Carroll

Carroll’s attorney, Roberta Kaplan, told the Times they are considering bringing another lawsuit against Trump based on his comments on CNN.

“Everything’s on the table, obviously, and we have to give serious consideration to it,” Kaplan said. “We have to weigh the various pros and cons, and we’ll decide in the next day or so, probably.”
