“Trump knows exactly who your client is,” Psaki identified.
A jury final yr ordered Trump to pay Carroll $5 million in damages after it discovered him accountable for sexual abuse and defamation after Carroll accused him of raping her within the mid-’90s. Another jury in January ordered Trump to pay Carroll $83.3 million after he defamed her once more.
Psaki famous, “He was found liable for sexually abusing her and then defaming her by lying about it. Do you watch these, and could this warrant a third suit as you watch that?”
“We certainly watch them. It’s hard not to,” Crowley replied. “Every time Donald Trump speaks, you know, I think as we said at trial many times, he has the biggest megaphone in the world, and so everyone hears them, including us and including our client, E. Jean Carroll. And as you said, what he said was absolutely a lie.”
“Two unanimous federal juries have found that not only did Trump know who E. Jean was, he sexually assaulted her and lied about it, repeatedly,” Crowley continued. “Everything he said about her over the last five years has been a lie and has been defamatory.”

“So we’re watching, we’re listening,” Crowley added. “We had really hoped that, as I think the jury found, that $83 million would maybe be enough to convince him to keep E. Jean Carroll’s name out of his mouth. Apparently, he showed us this weekend that he really cannot control himself and that maybe it wasn’t. But, you know, we’ll see what happens as this continues to play out.”
