Civil Trial: Trump v E. Jean Carroll (Carroll wins, awarded $5 million, plus 83.3 million)

You mean something new? His lawyers might actually get him not to say it this time

One (of many) of the previous times he said something shitty about her, it cost him a $83M verdict for defamation

Yeah, something new. I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t.

It hasn’t cost him anything (except the $7M bond) yet.

That’s why I noted it cost him the verdict, not any actual money

And then she can sue him again for $1.776 Billion, which she can use to help the victims of Lawfare.

Doesn’t he still owe her about $82 million from the second case?

That one’s still grinding through the appeal processes.

How many appeals lawsuits does Trump ever actually win?

Winning is mostly not the point- it is delay, delay, delay.

And, by extension, force the other party to continue to pay legal bills.

Well, it looks like the money has finally been handed over.

Apparently, she will use the money to “fund her retirement” which is an oblique way of saying, “She’s gonna keep it.” Fine by me. I hope she lives very well on his former money. I hope she has friends send Donnie emails of them having a ball on his (again, former) dime.

Presumably 40% or whatever it is will go to her attorneys but she’s 82 so that should be plenty. The big award is coming next which can fund a foundation.

Hmm- how many posts here were saying she would never get a dime? Mind you the delay was really long, so some cynicism was justified.

You see, there is a difference predicting something because we want it to happen, and predicting something, due to previous history, that we are afraid will happen. Previous history on his part told us that their was a damn good chance she would never see a cent of the money and we fucking ecstatic to be wrong.
Your “gotcha” is hereby denied.

Preach it!

I’d say the delay was “long,” not “really long.” I’ve seen cases where the delay is five years or more post-verdict. Three years seems to be high average.

Concur

Of course. :roll_eyes:

So how about the other $83 million he still owes her? That could help out a lot of charities,

We will find out in the future, as the slow wheels of justice turn. In the meantime, i am shocked and happy that she got this much.
