Hmm, Trump suing the audience, and not the Judge and Carroll.
Trump must be trying to find a gig for his Lawyer who thinks she can fake smart.
Trump is suing ABC News and George Stephanopoulos for defamation. Here's what to know about his claim.March 19, 2024
Former President Donald Trump on Monday sued ABC, ABC News and host George Stephanopoulos, claiming comments made by Stephanopoulos during a recent interview were defamatory.
Why did the judge say Trump "in fact did 'rape'" Carroll?Carroll sued in November 2022 under New York State's Adult Survivors Act, which for a one-year period eliminated the state's statute of limitations for sexual assault claims. Her suit was filed in federal court but made claims under New York's penal code, which has a narrower definition of rape than the federal standard. The jury found that Carroll did not prove Trump forcibly penetrated her with his penis, but
did prove it was "more likely true than not" that he sexually abused her by forcibly inserting his fingers.In a July 2023 ruling after the jury's verdict, Kaplan wrote that the sexual abuse finding was in keeping with how "many people commonly understand the word 'rape.'" Kaplan highlighted the Justice Department's definition of rape — the federal standard: "The penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim."
"The jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that," Kaplan wrote.
In the August 2023 order, the judge went further, writing "Mr. Trump in fact did 'rape' Ms. Carroll as that term commonly is used and understood."
