The woman who trumped Trump twice
Our January 21 luncheon guest will be E. Jean Carroll, the celebrated columnist who twice trumped Trump in court for his sexual transgressions.
Carroll will discuss her best selling memoir, Not My Type: One Woman Against a President,
“a hilarious, hopeful, revelatory behind-the-scenes account of the trials that riveted the nation” [USA Today]. It promises to be a rambunctious, irreverent conversation with Molly Jong-Fast,
a NY Times and MS Now contributor and fellow Silurian.
{from the Guardian newspaper}
"In May 2023, a federal civil jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse, forcible touching, and defamation. The jury awarded $5m in damages, rejecting Trump’s defense that Carroll was not his “type”. In a deposition, though, Trump mistook her for [his former wife, Marla] Maples. After the decision, Trump lashed out. That was a colossal mistake.
“While I am sleeping, Trump has his CNN town hall and cracks everybody up with jokes about sexual assault and repeats every single thing that a unanimous federal jury just declared he has to pay me $5m for saying,” Carroll writes.
“And, after I wake up? I sue him again.”
It cost him. In January 2024, a second federal jury handed down another adverse verdict. The price tag topped $83 million.
Justice grinds on. So does interest accruing."
