Writer and longtime women’s advice columnist E. Jean Carroll, who has previously accused Donald Trump of raping her two decades ago in a Manhattan department store, filed a defamation lawsuit against the president Monday for claiming she lied about the alleged incident.
Trump vehemently denied Carroll’s accusations, which were published in a bombshell New York magazine cover story, saying in a statement that he has “never met this person in my life.” He claimed the writer’s allegations had been fabricated for monetary gain related to her latest book. “I am filing this on behalf of every woman who has ever been harassed, assaulted, silenced, or spoken up only to be shamed, fired, ridiculed and belittled,” the lawsuit alleges. “No person in this country should be above the law—including the president.”
“Carroll resisted, struggling to break free,” the lawsuit alleges. “She tried to stomp his foot with her high feels. She tried to push away with one free hand . Finally, she raised a knee up high enough to push him out and off her.” The lawsuit alleges Carroll continued to take her friend’s advice for two decades, until the 2016 presidential election when the writer “watched in horror as numerous women offered highly credible accounts of Trump assaulting them.”
