Jean Carroll<\/h2>\n<p>Former President Donald Trump has taken legal action against author E. Jean Carroll, filing a counterlawsuit on defamation charges. Carroll had accused Trump of raping her, and now Trump&#8217;s lawyers are fighting back.<\/p>\n<h3>Denying Defamation Claims<\/h3>\n<p>Carroll&#8217;s claims that Trump raped her in a New York department store in the 1990s have been vehemently denied by the former president. In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-sues-e-jean-carroll-for-defamation-after-being-found-liable-for-defaming-writer\/\" title=\"Trump countersues E Jean Carroll for defamation after being held liable for defaming her.\">civil trial held<\/a> in May, a jury found Trump not liable for the rape claims but did hold him liable for sexual abuse and defamation, resulting in a $5 million damages award for Carroll.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s lawyers argue that Carroll&#8217;s accusations have defamed the former president, especially considering the jury&#8217;s verdict in the previous trial. They point to evidence such as Carroll&#8217;s tweets from 2020 to 2022 and her comments on CNN, where she reiterated her claim that Trump raped her.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Due to [Carroll]&#8217;s repeated falsehoods and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fox-news-calls-2-7-billion-smartmatic-lawsuit-attack-on-first-amendment-moves-to-dismiss\/\" title=\"Fox News Calls .7 Billion Smartmatic Lawsuit Attack On First Amendment, Moves To Dismiss\">defamatory statements made<\/a> against [Trump], [Trump] has been the subject of significant harm to his reputation, which, in turn, has yielded an inordinate amount of damages sustained as a result,&#8221; the filing stated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Seeking Compensation and Retraction<\/h3>\n<p>Trump is seeking both compensatory and punitive damages from Carroll. Additionally, he is requesting that Carroll retract her statements about him as part of the relief sought in the counterclaim.<\/p>\n<p>The original lawsuit was filed by Carroll in 2019, and her lawyers have recently sought to amend the complaint to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/if-the-dominion-defamation-lawsuit-is-a-slam-dunk-why-are-cnn-and-the-new-york-times-lying-about-it\/\" title=\"If The Dominion Defamation Lawsuit Is A Slam Dunk, Why Are CNN And The New York Times Lying About It?\">include comments made<\/a> by Trump regarding the verdict of the previous lawsuit. However, the lawsuit has been put on hold as Judge Lewis A. Kaplan denied a motion to merge this case with the one that was decided last month.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">click here<\/a> to visit The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump countersued E.
