Former President Donald Trump doubled down on his denial of writer E. Jean Carroll’s allegations during a recent campaign rally in Georgia. Trump reiterated his claim that Carroll had made false accusations against him, particularly regarding an alleged rape in the 1990s.
During the rally, Trump also mentioned that he had posted a $91 million bond this week as he appeals a defamation verdict against him related to Carroll’s claims. In this case, a jury did not find Trump liable for rape but awarded Carroll $5 million for defamation. Additionally, another case found Trump defamed Carroll while in office, resulting in an $83.3 million damages award for Carroll.
Despite the verdicts against him, Trump continues to deny Carroll’s allegations and has blamed Democratic operatives for his legal troubles. He also called New York a corrupt place in relation to his ongoing legal battles. Carroll has not responded to Trump’s latest denials as of early Sunday.
The former President’s statements regarding Carroll have sparked controversy and division among the public, with some believing his denials and others siding with Carroll. The legal battles between Trump and Carroll are far from over as both parties gear up for appeals in the coming weeks.
The McCreary County Record will continue to follow this story and provide updates as it unfolds. Stay tuned for the latest developments on this high-profile case.
