Former Washington state Attorney General Rob McKenna said former President Donald Trump is opening himself to another lawsuit regarding his alleged sexual abuse of a woman in a department store.
The verdict was split: Jurors rejected Carroll’s claim that she was raped, finding Trump responsible for a lesser degree of sexual abuse. The judgment adds to Trump’s legal woes and offers vindication to Carroll, whose allegations had been mocked and dismissed by Trump for years.
“Most of the experts that I’ve read believe that she could sue again because he’s repeating the same lies. So it’s causing her new harm,” McKenna explained. “The question is really a practical one, which is: how much would the damages be worth the second time?”McKenna explained that another possibility would be for Carroll to persuade a court to issue an injunction forbidding him from saying the same things again.
McKenna said at that point, it is not just about the plaintiff, Trump would be taking on the judicial system.
