Judge dismisses Donald Trump's counter defamation lawsuit against writer E. Jean Carroll for statements she made on CNN
In an order Monday, Judge Lewis Kaplan said that Trump had not proven that Carroll’s statements on CNN the day after the jury awarded her $5 million after finding that Trump sexually abused Carroll and defamed her were false or “not at least substantially true,” which is the legal standard. Trump sued Carroll in June based on her response to questions posed on CNN.
” Kaplan added: “In consequence, there is no merit to Mr Trump’s argument that the jury’s finding on Penal Law ‘rape’ question established that Ms Carroll’s statements were false even if her statements reasonably could be construed as referring to ‘rape’ in that specialized Penal Law sense, a subject on which this Court now expresses no view.” The judge previously rejected Trump’s request for a new trial.
