A jury in New York City issued an $83.3 million judgment against Donald Trump for repeatedly defaming E. Jean Carroll, the woman he sexually assaulted – and Caroll has big plans for how to use the money.
“I’d like to give the money to something Donald Trump hates,” she said in an appearance on Good Morning America. “If it will cause him pain for me to give money to certain things, perhaps a fund for the women who have been sexually assaulted by Donald Trump.”
Trump sexually assaulted Carroll in a department store in 1995 and then defamed her in 2019, calling her a liar for writing about the sexual assault in her book. A jury last year found that he sexually assaulted her and ordered him to pay her $5 million for the sexual assault.
But that didn’t stop his defamation of Carroll as he continued to insult her and call her a liar. Carroll’s lawyer, out attorney Roberta Kaplan, vowed to drag Trump back to court, and she did. Trump still wouldn’t stop attacking Carroll, repeatedly posting about her on his social media platform Truth Social.
Caroll said she spent weeks unable to eat and sleep leading up to the trial, terrified to be in a room with Trump. But when the trial actually began, she said she realized “he was, like, nothing.”
“Like an emperor without clothes,” she explained. “All my terror leading up to it, and he’s just something in a suit… The there is not there.”
In another interview on CNN, Carroll stated she was “flabbergasted” by Trump’s powerlessness. “He was nothing,” she said, “just no power. He was zero.”
Kaplan appeared alongside her client for the Good Morning America interview and said she’s “pretty confident” the money will come through “one way or the other.”
She also commented on the moment Trump stormed out of the courtroom during her closing statement, saying that she thinks his behavior got them at least 10 million more dollars.
“I didn’t see him do it… but the idea in a case where our basic thesis is that he’s a bully who can’t follow the rules, to act like a bully who doesn’t follow the rules is an interesting strategy, let me put it that way.”
Last week, an op-ed in Salon called out Trump for “acting like a cartoonishly evil villain on an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” throughout the trial.
“The only way he could seem any more like a sexual predator is if he wore a raincoat to court and periodically flashed any woman who came into view,” wrote Amanda Marcotte.
Kaplan also said that if Trump continues to defame Carroll, they are not planning to back down.
“All options are on the table,” she said. “If we have to bring another case, we’ll bring another case.”
“The elation was so great on Friday, it filled me up. It was almost painful.”

Prosecutors in Chicago have failed to charge a suspect identified in photo lineups as the shooter who killed a trans woman and her mother in a home invasion in January . Three other victims were wounded, including two other trans women. The suspect, who remains unidentified because he hasn’t been charged, has two other pending cases in Cook County court, records reveal: a felony residential burglary count and a misdemeanor count of domestic battery. The 19-year-old suspect lives in the same apartment complex as the victims did, on Chicago’s South Side. The police report for the mass shooting details how two people “kicked in the front door and began shooting” at about 1:40 p.m. on January 23. Unique Banks, 20, and her mother Alexsandra Olmo, 43, were killed at the scene. Three other victims were hospitalized in critical condition. One witness told investigators they had seen two males running north from the courtyard building wearing green camouflage. The shooting took place o...
The U.S. Census Bureau, after nearly a year of pushing the Biden administration, will begin testing questions pertaining to LGBTQ+ identity on its American Community Survey (ACS). These questions would ask people about their sexual orientation and gender identity. The Bureau put out a Federal Register notice signifying that this is the last chance for the public to give comment on all pending ACS questions, including those pertaining to LGBTQ+ individuals. The deadline given for comment is May 30, with an online form provided for any feedback on these questions. The wording for these questions can be found on the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs website . After the Bureau’s deadline, it will be submitting the questions to the Office of Management and Budget, where they will await approval for testing in the summer. The ACS asks questions about demographic, socioeconomic, and housing-related topics annually. New questions must undergo a rigorous approval and testing p...
Conservatives were already upset about Target over its LGBTQ+-inclusive Pride collection. But now they’re angry over fake AI-generated images that show the store selling “Satanic” clothing. The images show kids wearing clothes with inverted pentagrams and goat heads and a store display with a red, goat-headed mannequin. The images were created by Facebook user Dan Reese with the AI program Midjourney, Reuters reported . A Target spokesperson told the publication that it “has never sold” the pictured items, and the items aren’t available on the store’s website.
