Former President Trump said Friday he plans to appeal after a jury ordered him to pay $83.3 million for defaming writer E. Jean Carroll, who had alleged he sexually assaulted her decades ago.
āAbsolutely ridiculous! I fully disagree with both verdicts, and will be appealing this whole Biden Directed Witch Hunt focused on me and the Republican Party,ā Trump wrote on Truth Social. āOur Legal System is out of control, and being used as a Political Weapon.ā
āThey have taken away all First Amendment Rights,ā he added. āTHIS IS NOT AMERICA!ā
Fridayās ruling by a jury in New York marked the second time Carroll has won damages from Trump at trial, with the new total adding to a $5 million verdict last year finding Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll and defaming her over a separate comment.
Says the man whoās making this politicalā¦
This had nothing to do with Biden or the Republican Partyā¦ Heās been tried & found guilty of defaming E. Jean Carroll.
You know thisā¦ I know thisā¦ Literates know thisā¦
His cultists on the other hand? That shit was rolled up, fried, and gobbled down like an Independence Day barbecue. The entitled ape is actively trying to spearhead the start of an American Civil War II because he didnāt win.
ā¦for raping her. He could have not sexually assaulted her, he could have not defamed her, he could have not defamed her a second time. All problems of his own making. Iāve never even imagined this level of āfind outā even existed.
But it has to be said: Republicans are still solidly behind him, this is who they want! Absolutely disgustingā¦
