NEW YORK CITY– A federal judge in New York threw out Tuesday a claim by Donald Trump in which he claimed he had been defamed by a previous publication columnist after she won a sex abuse case against him.
The former president was discovered liable in Might for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll in a New york city department store in the 1990s– however not for raping her.
Trump looked for to turn the tables on the 79-year-old former Elle publication writer by filing his own suit in June arguing she had disparaged him by continuing to inform United States media that he raped her, despite the civil trial verdict.
However in his termination ruling on Monday (Tuesday in Manila), District Judge Lewis Kaplan said Carroll’s declarations that Trump raped her are “considerably true.”
Trump was ordered to pay Carroll $5 million after the civil trial.
He rejects the accusations and has appealed the judgment.
Carroll has actually sought new damages after Trump called her a “whack job” on CNN the day after the civil trial verdict.
On the other hand, Trump pressed back against a quote by federal government lawyers to limit what he can share openly about his historic prosecution for supposedly conspiring to overturn the outcomes of the 2020 election.
“I should not have a protective order put on me because it would impinge upon my right to FREE SPEECH,” the previous president said in a post on his Fact Social platform.
“Psychopathic Jack Smith and the Department of Oppression should, nevertheless, due to the fact that they are unlawfully ‘leaking’ all over the place!” he included a recommendation to the special counsel who submitted the case against him.
In a court filing, lawyers for the former president likewise argued on Monday that the constraints proposed by Smith would breach Trump’s right to complimentary speech under the First Modification to the Constitution.
“In a trial about First Change rights, the government seeks to restrict First Modification rights,” Trump’s lawyer John Lauro stated, advancing a line of argument that defense lawyers are expected to make at trial.
