Donald Trump Responds To E Jean Carroll Rape Verdict

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday reacted to the verdict in a rape trial brought by the writer E Jean Carroll ― telling his Truth Social followers: “THIS VERDICT IS A DISGRACE.”

“I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHO THIS WOMAN IS,” Trump subsequently posted. “THIS VERDICT IS A DISGRACE – A CONTINUATION OF THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME!”

Carroll was able to sue under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which allows sexual abuse survivors a one-time chance to file civil suits in spite of any relevant statutes of limitations.

Trump refused to testify at the trial, then falsely claimed he was “not allowed to speak or defend” himself, and described his own decision not to speak as “unconstitutional silencing”.
