A federal judge scheduled E. Jean Carroll’s second defamation trial against former President Donald Trump for January 2024, just days before Republican primary voters will begin the presidential nomination process.
On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan set Carroll’s civil trial against Trump for January 15, 2024, in a brief scheduling order.
The scheduling comes days after Kaplan allowed Carroll to amend her second defamation lawsuit against Trump to seek up to $10 million in damages.
Last month, a nine-member jury found Trump liable for sexual battery and defaming Carroll and granted her an award of $5 million in damages. The jury awarded Carroll $2 million in damages for the sexual battery claim and $3 million for defamation.
Carroll’s second lawsuit stems from comments Trump made in 2019 regarding her accusations of rape. Kaplan allowed Carroll to amend her lawsuit to include Trump’s comments at a recent CNN town hall, where he insisted he had “no idea who this woman is” and that her allegations are a “fake” and a “made-up story.”

Well, everyone knew it was coming. And now added his latest words on the matter. More drama.
Just before the primaries. Convenient for haters of Donald Trump, not so convenient for everyone else.
political harassment- plain and simple-
She should be suing him for defamation! No one in the world even knows who she is!
Well that’s the exact opposite of what I meant. I meant he should be suing her.
Time to go to bed…
nite,,,,,,,,,,,
This country is a bad joke. USA RIP.
Is there any evidence, other than that nut E. Jean’s claim that there was an assault?
If NOT, THEN IT IS “HE SAID, SHE SAID” AND HTH DID SHE WIN THE CASE?????
What a bunch of nonsense.
And by the way...I HATE NEW YORK.
Let’s see the mean tweets this drew from Trump.
Or did he finally put a sock in it.
Says the mean girl.
They are coming at him with everything they have got. Also expect election fraud at a scale that will dwarf 2020 and 2022. They HAVE to stop him. If not, they know Trump is coming after them
No comment from Trump?
Hallelujah.
The guy sponsoring the lawsuit is LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman.
She had corroborating testimony from some girlfriends that she had told them about it when it happened. Another woman testified that Trump had also molested her in first class on an airplane. And Trump in his discovery tape said that her picture looked like his second wife Marla, after first saying she wasn’t his type.
The jury took 3 hours to reach a verdict.
President Trump has a year-and-a-half to grind these Dem crazies into wet muck.
Hitlery, is that you?
How much does DU pay you to troll this site. You are, without a doubt, a foaming at the mouth leftist.
And naturally you believed it.
A big fan of Alvin Bragg are you?
A New York jury.
