Trump Rants About Getting New Lawyers — Rages At Judge Over Blockbuster E. Jean Loss — But Silent About Carroll
Former President Donald Trump raged at Judge Lewis Kaplan and ranted about getting new lawyers after his blockbuster defeat — but made not a peep about E. Jean Carroll, the woman he was found to have sexually abused and defamed.
Trump was hit with a bombshell $83.3 million judgment for defaming Carroll while he was president. In the days since that decision, Carroll and her legal team have been giving interview after interview, savaging and mocking him over it.
On Wednesday morning, Trump went on a Truth Social rant about the case in which he attacked the judge who presided over the case, told numerous falsehoods about the two trials he lost, and said he was looking for new lawyers. What he didn’t do was utter a syllable about Carroll:
I am in the process, along with my team, of interviewing various law firms to represent me in an Appeal of one of the most ridiculous and unfair Witch Hunts our Country has ever seen – The defamation Sham presided over by a Clinton appointed, highly partisan, Trump Hating Judge, Lewis Kaplan, who was, together with certain other Radical Left Democrat Judges, one of the most partisan and out of control activists that I have ever appeared before. He was a “bully” who demanded two trials, rather than one, denied me Due Process, would not allow me to put forth vital evidence (of which there was much!), and only allowed me to be on the witness stand for minutes, telling my lawyer what to ask, and telling me to only give one word answers, as his wife and friends sat in cordoned off front row seats watching with glee. This entire HOAX is a disgrace to our American System of Justice. Any lawyer who takes a TRUMP CASE is either “CRAZY,” or a TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT. I will make my decision soon!
Also not mentioned by name, but perhaps in spirit: Alina Habba, the attorney who lost the case but went on an angry rant to reporters outside the courthouse following the verdict.
