The former president fired off a series of potentially defamatory statements as he arrived in court
As he arrived at a federal courthouse in lower Manhattan, Donald Trump’s Truth Social account released an avalanche of posts attacking E Jean Carroll, who is suing the former president for defamation.
A jury in New York City will determine what damages he owes Ms Carroll, whom Mr Trump defamed by repeatedly calling her a liar and denying that he sexually assaulted her.
It’s the second trial stemming from defamation claims brought by Ms Caroll, and a jury already found him civilly responsible for sexually abusing her in the 1990s. He continues to claim that he never met her and has repeatedly mocked and ridiculed Ms Carroll in the wake of that verdict.
In large part - perhaps exclusively - because corporate news is utterly incapable of saying the basic truth. He’s a demented rapist fraud who can not stop lying.
They can’t say that! They can’t get close to saying that! And that is what gives him his rabid base.
They can, but they just refuse to because they’re all afraid of losing access.
