After Donald Trump was ordered to pay a whopping $83. 3 million for defamation of publisher E. Jean Carroll (who had already been ordered to pay $5 million for defamation and sexual abuse), he stopped calling her a liar in public and saying other things about her. This can be uploaded to the damage tab. In other words, deterrence worked. Or at least it worked, because over the weekend the former president began defaming Carroll again, thus challenging a sentence to make him pay even more.
At a rally Saturday in Georgia, Trump told the crowd, “I just paid $91 million, $91 million bail for a false story, a totally made up story. $91 million based on false accusations made about me through a woman I knew nothing about. I didn’t know, I’d never heard of her, I don’t know anything about her. He wrote a book, he said things. And when I denied it, I said, “This is crazy. That’s not true. ” I’m being sued for defamation. That’s where it starts (the figure is $91. 6 million because it includes interest).

Two days later, in an appearance on CNBC, Trump referred to Carroll as “Mrs. Bergdorf Goodman, a user I’ve never met,” adding, “I have no idea who she is, unless she’s been sued. From that point on, I was like, “Wow, this is crazy, what is this?”He went on to say, “I was charged, I was given a false accusation, and I had to post $91 million bail for a false accusation. “As a jury found in May, Trump met extensively with Carroll and sexually assaulted her in a dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman, and it was his insistence after that resolution that led to the more than $80 million judgment against him.
Carroll said she would “absolutely” sue Trump again, and on Monday, her attorney, Roberta Kaplan, told the New York Times: “The statute of limitations for defamation in maximum jurisdictions is between one and three years. As we said after the jury meeting last verdict, we continue to monitor any and all comments Donald Trump makes about our client. “
