E. Jean Carroll’s attorney, Shawn Crowley, hinted on Monday night that the former Elle columnist and rape accuser might pursue legal action against former President Donald Trump for a third time.
Crowley made these remarks during an interview with Jen Psaki on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki” following Trump’s statements at a Michigan rally over the weekend.
Trump claimed he didn’t know Carroll, asserted he had not wronged her, and criticized the lawsuits against him as “unfair.”
“What he said was absolutely a lie,” Crowley contended. “Two unanimous federal juries have found that not only did Trump know who E. Jean was, he sexually assaulted her and lied about it repeatedly. Everything he said about her over the last five years has been a lie and has been defamatory,” Crowley asserted.
Last month, a New York jury awarded Carroll an $83 million settlement in a defamation lawsuit against Trump after he repeatedly denied her allegations of sexual assault at a Bergdorf Goodman department store.
Carroll had altered the date of the alleged assault multiple times, and she has a history of making similar accusations against other men. Her allegations against Trump also bore striking resemblance to an episode of “Law and Order: SVU” that aired years before she publicly shared her account.
