Former President Trump has announced his intention to appeal a recent defamation ruling in a lawsuit filed by writer E. Jean Carroll. The jury ordered Trump to pay $83.3 million in damages after Carroll accused him of sexually assaulting her many years ago. Trump expressed his disagreement with the verdicts and described them as part of a Biden Directed Witch Hunt. Taking to his newly launched social media platform, Truth Social, Trump criticized the legal system for being used as a political weapon and claimed that his First Amendment rights had been taken away. This is the second time Carroll has won damages from Trump, with the latest ruling adding to a $5 million verdict from last year. The jury’s decision focused solely on the issue of damages, as U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan had already ruled that Trump defamed Carroll. Trump has consistently denied the allegations, dismissing Carroll’s claims as false and stating that she made them up to boost sales of her book. As he continues to campaign for president, Trump faces several other legal cases and a total of 91 felony counts across federal and state charges.
