Federal judge rejects Trump’s latest bid to drop $83.3M E. Jean Carroll defamation ruling

A federal judge rejected former President Trump’s latest attempt for a new trial, upholding the verdict and $83.3 million award in his defamation case against writer E. Jean Carroll.

In a written opinion, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan said Trump’s arguments are “without merit.”

“Mr. Trump’s malicious and unceasing attacks on Ms. Carroll were disseminated to more than 100 million people. They included public threats and personal attacks, and they endangered Ms. Carroll’s health and safety,” Kaplan wrote.

A jury in January ordered him to pay $83.3 million to Carroll after Kaplan found he was liable for defamation. Last month, Trump demanded that he receive a new trial.

Courts are the enemy of the people.

Well said.

I think just about everybody must be able to feel in their gut that everything is wrong. That up is down and down is up in this ridiculous world.

And these “judges” are poking all our eyes, just daring us to try to do anything about it.

Lord, deliver us!

What are the odds?

Judge Kaplan, Judge Engoron, Merrick Garland, Judge Beryl Howell, Shenna Bellows (Maine Secretary of State) , Jena Griswold (Colorado Secretary of State), George Soros, Reid Hoffman (financial support for E Jean Carroll), Jamie Raskin and Debbie Wasserman, Schultz( co-sponsored legislation to kick Trump off the ballot)

What are the odds that corrupt, perverted Democrats appoint/elect a bunch of corrupt, idiot, lying judges/officials into positions of power?

Well they are very good, because that is exactly what happened. Every one of these people should be beaten with a baseball bat. They are all human garbage.

YES!!!

A consequence of just letting someone say you are guilty when you are NOT and paying them hush money for the case to go away.

Appeal to heaven for truth.

I know someone in prison for 5 years now who didn’t plea bargain so they added years to his sentence for 19 years!!! Two others plea bargained and were out in a year or so. For a $40K note he was paying back, he has served over 5 years. Talk about injustice system!!!! Drug dealers and murderers are out in less time. Total political prisoner. TRUMP has to win to correct this injustice and J-6ers releases. One day God will balance the scales for everyone!!!!!

If he had listened to his lawyers and done things differently I think everything can be reversed on appeal. She had no case and pretty much perjured herself on the stand. The defamation award was excessive and should be thrown out or or at the very least severely reduced.

What the real problem is it Donald Trump doesn’t know when does shut up. It’s one thing to make a point it’s another to keep doing it over and over again to the point that it might be interpreted as defamation , slander and libel.

He just won’t use a little common sense
