    It ain’t over 'til that fat fuck squeals. His new plan, apparently, is to sic the DoJ on her once he’s in office.

    On his Truth Social platform, Trump reposted a photo of E. Jean Carroll with large letters that read: “Should a woman go to jail for falsely accusing a man of rape? Retruth if you want justice for Trump.”

      That post sounds like it breaks the terms of the previous settlements against him by Carroll. Grounds for yet another lawsuit

        Agreed, but I’m not sure if those civil rulings would stop the DoJ from filing criminal charges if Trump pushes them into it.

          Not sure how a state level civil defamation case would make it to the federal criminal level without bending the whole criminal justice system.

          From the DoJ website:

          NOTE: The Department of Justice has no authority to intervene in matters of state law. The Department of Justice can assume jurisdiction only when there has been a violation of federal law.

            You think Trump cares about that? Or the cronies he’s bringing in to run DoJ? They’ll find a way.

              He/they will just say she lied and falsely accused him and that should be investigated/prosecuted. Where the case originally was held won’t matter then.

    … loses his appeal so far

    What the hell do you think a criminal will do once you give them power and influence over the court or courts that is persecuting them .

      Wouldn’t it be an “official act” to have her killed so that this ruling doesn’t interfere with the presidency?

    So, the appeal for the $83.3 million is still going WHILE the first appeal was still not finished? Odd way of scheduling.

    But the interest on $83.3million is also still going, right?
