The article says an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/federal-court-is-fast-tracking-sidney-powells-request-for-a-forensic-exam-of-dominion-voting-machines\/\" title=\"Federal Court Is Fast-Tracking Sidney Powell\u2019s Request For A Forensic Exam Of Dominion Voting Machines\">appeals court<\/a> ruled Trump doesn\u2019t have to pay yet while his legal team seeks Supreme Court review, though Trump reportedly must post a $7.4 million bond for interest costs.<\/p>\n<p>It further argues that the case is legally questionable, citing claims such as Carroll\u2019s difficulty remembering key details, lack of witnesses, and that her initial account described the incident differently. The piece also points to New York\u2019s 2022 \u201cAdult Survivors Act,\u201d which it says reopened a one-year window for lawsuits even after the statute of limitations had expired, and it criticizes the judge\u2019s reasoning that, despite the jury not finding \u201crape\u201d under New York law, Carroll could still use \u201crape\u201d in the way people commonly understand it.<\/p>\n<p>the article portrays the situation as politically motivated \u201clawfare\u201d and concludes that Carroll should not receive the money.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Author, columnist, and accuser of President Donald Trump E Jean Carroll might not be cashing in on her claims against the president.<\/p>\n<p>In January 2024, Carroll was awarded $83 million for defamation and assault as Trump was <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >found civilly liable stemming<\/a> from a supposed meeting between the two in a Manhattan department store dressing room in 1996.<\/p>\n<p>But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox5atlanta.com\/news\/trump-temporarily-spared-from-paying-83m-defamation-award-e-jean-carroll?taid=6a03d8cd9139890001ba9d77\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WAGA-TV<\/a> reported Tuesday that an appeals court said Trump does not have to pay Carroll just yet, as his legal team wants the Supreme Court to review the case.<\/p>\n<p>However, he must still post a $7.4 million bond for interest costs to be covered.<\/p>\n<p>Carroll\u2019s story is strange, to say the least, and the context of how this case was even allowed in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dana-loesch-sounds-off-on-the-concerning-abuse-of-power-potential-behind-bidens-gun-control-orders\/\" title=\"Dana Loesch Sounds Off On The Concerning \u2018Abuse Of Power\u2019 Potential Behind Biden\u2019s Gun Control Orders\">court makes<\/a> it even more dubious.<\/p>\n<p>Writing for the <a href=\"https:\/\/palmbeachrepublicanclub.org\/the-strangest-case-of-e-jean-carroll-and-donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Palm Beach Republican Club<\/a>, Hoover Institute Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson previously noted that Carroll could not remember when the assault happened, claiming it was somewhere in the 1994 to 1996 timeframe. She also did not write about it until Trump became a national political figure.<\/p>\n<p>Carroll claimed to have remembered the dress she was wearing that day, but it was not in production at the time.<\/p>\n<p>If this information was not already raising an eyebrow, there were also no witnesses. In her 2019 book, Carroll did not even refer to the moment as \u201crape,\u201d but as a \u201cfight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Carroll went public and Trump fired back, she claimed defamation in his remarks hurting her career, but when ELLE magazine fired her, they denied it had anything to do with the president.<\/p>\n<p>The story gets worse when looking at the law.<\/p>\n<p>Hanson noted that the statute of limitations had expired, but under New York\u2019s 2022 \u201cAdult Survivors Act,\u201d a one-year window was granted for victims to sue alleged perpetrators regardless.<\/p>\n<p>The bill\u2019s author, New York Democratic Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal, was a known opponent of the president who had pushed for other legislation to give federal commissions access to New York\u2019s tax returns, opening the doorway for Congress to pursue the president through that avenue.<\/p>\n<p>The jury did not find Trump guilty of rape, but outrageously, Clinton-appointed Judge Lewis Kaplan essentially said it was entirely allowed for Carroll to still claim Trump raped her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was \u2018raped\u2019 within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump \u2018raped\u2019 her as many people commonly understand the word \u2018rape,\u2019\u201d Kaplan reasoned.<\/p>\n<p>To summarize, a law was passed by an anti-Trump legislator after Carroll said nothing for decades. She cannot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/robert-durst-appears-in-court-for-first-time-in-14-months\/\" title=\"Robert Durst appears in court for first time in 14 months\">remember details<\/a> about the day, nor the year, there were no witnesses, it was not initially characterized as a rape, and Trump was not guilty of rape, but the Democrat-appointed judge said it was acceptable for Carroll to call it a rape.<\/p>\n<p>The woman does not exude a high degree of character on her own as a sex writer who in 2015 created a game for Android and Apple where the user tries to break up happy couples. \u201cYour object is to break them up\u2026\u00a0 to stir up s**t,\u201d the game said. She\u2019s also named her cat \u201cVagina T. Fireball,\u201d which isn\u2019t exactly becoming.<\/p>\n<p>When looking at her profile holistically, Carroll seems like a sad, lonely, aging, vindictive, dishonest woman who still operates like she\u2019s in her 20s when it comes to dealing with the opposite sex. She wants her life to be a television show, full of drama with the spotlight on her.<\/p>\n<p>She shouldn\u2019t see a penny of this money.<\/p>\n<p>This is just more lawfare against the president.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
