An attorney representing E. Jean Carroll has indicated the journalist could sue Donald Trump for a third time, as the former president continues to speak about her client publicly.
Speaking on MSNBC’s Inside With Jen Psaki on Monday night, Shawn Crowley, an attorney for Carroll, responded to the frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination telling supporters at a Michigan rally on Saturday that he had not done anything wrong to Carroll, whom he claimed he did not know, and that lawsuits against him were “unfair.”
In January, a New York City jury ordered that the former president must pay $83.3 million in damages to the former Elle columnist, for statements made in 2019. He said she was lying about allegations that he sexually assaulted her inside a Manhattan department store dressing room in the 1990s. That amount includes $7.3 million in compensatory damages, $11 million for reputational repair, and $65 million in punitive damages. He has repeatedly denied all wrongdoing and has said he will appeal the verdict.
Trump was previously ordered to pay Carroll $5 million in damages in May in another civil defamation trial stemming from a denial he made about her claims in 2022. He is appealing that decision and has set aside $5.55 million with the Manhattan Court as part of that process. Newsweek contacted a representative for Trump by email to comment on this story.
Don’t forget to bring an extra set of forms to file on the way out, when he does it again in this next trial!
At what point is trump just doing what he wants and not paying? Can he go to debtors prison or something?
New York will seize & start auctioning off his properties. He can’t even appeal without putting the damages fine in escrow.
I read yesterday that Trump only has ~$550M in liquid assets & $50M of that he can’t touch without it automatically recalling a loan that he currently cannot pay.
I’d like to point out the last part is no one’s problem but Trump’s & whatever bank gave him that loan.
Not even Trump’s problem, I’m afraid. As J. Paul Getty famously said-
If you owe the bank $100, that’s your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that’s the bank’s problem.
That’s true for $50 million as well.
That’s not an issue when your debtor owns some of the most valuable real estate in the USA & can’t pay lawyers without selling those assets to start with.
thing is: he doesn’t owe it to a bank-- he owes it via judgements to Carroll and to the People of the State of New York, and, on their behalf, the State of New York will start seizing Trump’s assets and auctioning them off to cover the judgements.
Pretty dumb quote.
The bank has an army of lawyers who sure as shit gonna make it your problem.
It hasn’t been a problem for Trump before. He’s defaulted on many loans.
… and I’m sure that was a significant problem for him each time.
I’ve been told by others that New York can start seizing his assets if he doesn’t pay up. And PAC money is not infinite.
I was curious about the legal options here so did a little research. My first thought was can Trump use his go to move in this case and just declare Bankruptcy. IANAL but via the magic of google it seems like the answer is kind of. Civil judgements can be discharged via bankruptcy, but there’s a few gotchas in there as well. To start with while the damages can be discharged, any fines or court fees can’t. Furthermore if malice can be shown then damages can also be reclassified as non-dischargeable.
I don’t understand. Your other comment says he defaults on loans all the time and it’s the bank’s problem rather than his. Now you’re saying New York will seize assets if he doesn’t pay ?
He can’t pay lawyers without selling real estate.
Depends on how the loan is secured. If he put up some of his property as collateral then the bank can just seize it and it’s not their problem then.
Yeah, but the property he put up saying is worth 50 million to secure the loan is probably only worth 3 million 🤣
Haha
Then on to the next one!!
Then they sue him for lying about the value of the collateral. One big oroboros of lawsuits until Trump has nothing.
Its like a gift that keeps on giving!
Except he never pays
Bitch-Tits needs to shut. His. Mouth.
I’m cool with .73 cents out of each dollar he gets donated going to others, I’d like him to talk more so he goes bankrupt before the July estimate 👍
That works for me, too. If it MUST talk, drain it of resources and money until it withers up and blows away.
Going for the hat trick? I like your style.
lol sure that bitch into the ground
She absolutely should, and continue to- every time that disgusting heap of garbage opens its mouth and speaks her name.
“Keep my FUCKING name, out yo mouth” or I’ll sue your fat ass into the dirt, fucking cheeto
As long as there’s evidence and damages cover the attorney fees she can keep this going.
It’s like she found a faulty slot machine that won’t stop putting out.

Or an unintentional pun/play on words…which makes it hilarious if you were not so keyed up to take such things personally.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
An attorney representing E. Jean Carroll has indicated the journalist could sue Donald Trump for a third time, as the former president continues to speak about her client publicly.
Speaking on MSNBC’s Inside With Jen Psaki on Monday night, Shawn Crowley, an attorney for Carroll, responded to the frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination telling supporters at a Michigan rally on Saturday that he had not done anything wrong to Carroll, whom he claimed he did not know, and that lawsuits against him were “unfair.”
In January, a New York City jury ordered that the former president must pay $83.3 million in damages to the former Elle columnist, for statements made in 2019.
Trump was previously ordered to pay Carroll $5 million in damages in May in another civil defamation trial stemming from a denial he made about her claims in 2022.
“We had really hoped that, as the jury found, that $83 million dollars would maybe be enough to convince him to keep E. Jean Carroll’s name out of his mouth, apparently he showed us this weekend that he really cannot control himself and that maybe it wasn’t but we will see what happens as this continues to play out.”
However, attorney Bradley Moss wrote that Trump was “close, but he didn’t cross the line” in his remarks.

President Loser continuing his losing streak.

If maga-country is paying for it, might as well get that money again and again.
So he’s actually on her side grifting his own people for her gain.
It was 5D chess all along.
Hey, most of us are also trying to grift MAGA folks.
We can’t let Trump have it all.
I saw an instagram profile that “specializes” in Trump related AI art, and is run by a German teenager. It looked like there were paid features Trump fans could sign up for, and a lot of them were eating it up in the comments.
The account owner has just a couple pics of himself posted in a suit, and one brief explanation + a few short comments on why he loves Trump, and how he came to being a huge Trump fan. Which are all very vague/surface level reasons and come across about as genuine as the more lazy sponsored videos on YouTube.
I’m convinced this is what he’s doing lol. Also a little impressed tbh
