Jean Carroll: reports<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court on June 29 left intact a jury\u2019s finding that Trump sexually abused Carroll in 1996 and defamed her in 2022 when he called her claims a \u201choax\u201d and a \u201ccomplete con job\u201d and said that Carroll \u201cis not my type!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump on July 6 asked the justices to take the unusual step of reconsidering their rejection of his appeal. A decision hasn\u2019t yet been made.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThree years ago, a unanimous nine-person jury found President Trump liable for sexually assaulting and defaming E. Jean Carroll,\u201d Kaplan said in a statement. \u201cToday, we are pleased to report that she has received the damages payment the jury awarded her as a result of that verdict.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/?p=4500\">California to offer $3,500 EV rebates to first-time buyers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s legal team didn\u2019t immediately return a request to comment.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Kaplan said in a recent court filing that Carroll did not intend to use the money until the Supreme Court decides on Trump\u2019s request for reconsideration, which she has called a delay tactic. Carroll plans to use the money for her retirement, Kaplan said.<\/p>\n<p>Carroll, a former advice columnist for Elle magazine, went public with her allegations in 2019. She sued in 2022 under a New York law that temporarily lifted the statute of limitations on assault claims that are decades old.<\/p>\n<p>The verdict is one of two Carroll won against Trump, who has indicated he also will seek Supreme Court review of an $83.3 million award in a separate defamation suit. The Justice Department says it will join that effort, which is likely to raise distinct legal issues because that case centers on comments Trump made while he was president.<\/p>\n<p>In the lawsuit that produced the $5 million verdict, Carroll accused Trump of assaulting her a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in 1996. Trump argued that jurors shouldn\u2019t have been allowed to hear testimony about two prior alleged sexual assaults or listen to the Access Hollywood tape in which he boasted in vulgar terms that he could grab women by their genitalia without consent.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/?p=4498\">California drug dealer was gunned down in his front yard for ignoring Mexican Mafia rules, prosecutors say<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>More stories like this are available on bloomberg.com<\/p>\n<p>\u00a92026 Bloomberg L.P.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Supreme Court left intact a jury\u2019s finding that Trump sexually abused Carroll in 1996 and defamed her in 2022 when he called her claims a \u201choax\u201d and a \u201ccomplete con job\u201d and said that Carroll \u201cis not my type!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4110,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4503","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>E.
