Rachel Maddow just bagged a major exclusive. She’ll be chatting with E. Jean Carroll, fresh off her $83.3 million win against Donald Trump. Carroll accused him of defamation, and boy, did the jury agree.
Carroll’s stepping into the spotlight on Monday. She’s hitting up The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC at 9/8c. The network spilled the beans last Friday.
So, what’s the big deal? Well, a Manhattan jury threw the book at Trump. They told him to fork over $83.3 million to Carroll for trashing her name and denying her rape allegations. We’re talking $18.3 million for the hurt and $65 million to teach him a lesson. Remember, this isn’t the first rodeo. Last year, another jury found Trump guilty of sexual abuse and defamation, handing Carroll $5 million.
Carroll, a journalist and author, claims Trump assaulted her back in the ’90s. This allegedly went down in a fancy New York department store. Trump’s stance? Denial. He insists they never even met. Despite the first trial’s outcome, Trump didn’t let up on Carroll, leading to the second trial and the hefty judgment.
Trump’s not taking this lying down. He’s gunning for an appeal. But, let’s just say his plate’s pretty full. Last year alone, he got hit with four indictments. The charges? A mixed bag of alleged crimes, from trying to flip the 2020 election results to mishandling secret documents and paying off women he supposedly had affairs with. And yes, he’s eyeing the Republican nomination for president again this year. Talk about drama.
