Donald Trump owes E Jean Carroll nearly $90 million after losing two defamation cases against the former Elle magazine columnist who accused him of sexual assault.
The president, who has made a crusade against the “weaponization” of the federal government against him and his allies a central part of his administration, now appears to be turning his Department of Justice against her.
A criminal inquiry from the Trump administration against his most well-known accuser amounts to a “disturbing” and unprecedented escalation of a politically motivated retribution campaign against his enemies, legal experts and advocates for sexual abuse survivors tell The Independent.
Those juries awarded her a combined $88.3 million, verdicts that Trump has appealed to the Supreme Court with the Justice Department’s backing. The administration’s criminal case against her appears designed to derail her victories — and silence others, experts say.
Did we really need an “expert” to tell us that?
It’s one of the worst weasel words - and weasel jobs because yes, professional “experts” do exist in the US.
Also fuck Trump for brazenly breaking the law, fuck all the people who do and did not put him into prison, and praise anyone who dares stand up to him.
Isn’t that the whole point?
Civil vs Political. I’m betting on Jean!
Somewhere her lawyers just bought third beach houses
There’s a 2 billion dollar fund that was made just for this scenario
On the one hand, it would be hilarious for her to receive money from that fund. On the other, I’m still horrified that the fund exists.
