Former President Donald Trump made an intense series of 37 posts about his sexual assault accuser, E. Jean Carroll, in a span of just 20 minutes on Wednesday evening, leading up to his defamation trial in New York. Trump’s posts were aimed at discrediting Carroll, a former Elle magazine journalist, and minimizing her accusations.
The posts included a screen recording of Carroll liking a Facebook post suggesting she should be on “The Apprentice,” followed by screenshots of her expressing fandom for the show. Trump then shared old posts, some dating back almost fifteen years, where Carroll made jokes about sex, including references to “Big Dick Energy” and comments about Twitter content being focused on sex.
Additionally, Trump posted quotes to portray Carroll as eccentric, including references to her pet names, her cabin being called “The Mouse House,” and a quote about allegedly “sexually harassing Roger Ailes.” He further shared links to conservative media reports on the case, clips of Carroll’s interview with Anderson Cooper, and concluded with personal rants calling the lawsuit a “witch hunt” and expressing hope that Judge Kaplan would see through the accusations.
Trump reiterated his denial of any knowledge of Carroll, stating, “Until the filing of this ridiculous lawsuit against me, I knew nothing about this woman, never heard of her, never touched her, had nothing to do with her.” He labeled the accusations as a “false accusation forced into the public eye by Democrat operatives” and likened it to past controversies such as “Russia, Russia, Russia.” Trump concluded by expressing his intention to return to New York City for the trial, asserting that the woman making the accusations had no idea when the alleged incidents occurred.
THIS IS A FALSE ACCUSATION FORCED INTO THE PUBLIC EYE BY DEMOCRAT OPERATIVES LIKE HER LAWYER, HER FUNDERS, AND OTHERS. LOOK AT HER MANY CRAZY TWEETS, THEY SAY IT ALL — Another HOAX, just like Russia, Russia, Russia. These people are “SICK.” Hopefully Judge Kaplan will see the light and do what is just and proper for America!
In the previous year, a jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll and awarded her $5 million after she accused him of assaulting her in the 1990s. The ongoing defamation trial revolves around Carroll seeking $10 million in damages.
