Trump Unleashes Social Media Barrage Against Accuser E. Jean Carroll Ahead of Second Defamation Trial

Despite being found liable for sexually abusing and defaming Carroll in a previous trial, Trump continues to post disparaging content about her, raising questions about his legal strategy.

  • Former President Donald Trump has unleashed a new social media barrage against his sexual assault accuser, E. Jean Carroll, consisting of more than 30 posts to his Truth Social account.
  • Trump was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming Carroll, a former columnist for Elle magazine, at the conclusion of a civil trial last May.
  • A second defamation trial against Trump by Carroll is set to begin on January 16 after an appeals court denied a last-second attempt to delay it.
  • Trump's posts largely consist of old quotes or social media posts from Carroll that were sexual in nature, and articles from right-wing news websites that included references to Carroll as 'a wackadoodle.'
  • Trump's lawyers are trying to prevent a New York jury from seeing much of Trump’s damning deposition from the first trial, and are being criticized for treating the upcoming trial as a chance to rewrite history.
