Former President Donald Trump on Saturday stood by his 2019 statement that writer E. Jean Carroll made a “totally false accusation” against him, despite similar claims resulting in him losing a defamation case in January.

Campaigning at a rally in Rome, Georgia, Trump referenced the $91.6 million bond he posted on March 8, three days before his deadline to pay $83.3 million in damages to Carroll for defaming her in statements he made as president after denying her accusation that he’d raped her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s.

Carroll first came forward in 2019 with sexual assault claims against Trump before another civil trial in May 2023, where a New York jury found that the former president sexually abused Carroll but didn’t rape her.

    He knows, but he just can’t hold it back… His urge to say something is unhinged, even if he knows that’ll maybe cost him more money.

    Extra dumbass

      He’s already broke at this point and just using other people’s money.

      He’s becoming judgment-proof.

        “Swearing has died out by the 23rd century” is one of the stupidest ideas in all of Star Trek and I am so glad it’s been retconned.
