Donald Trump took to Truth Social to excoriate the $88.3 million verdict against him in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case on Friday and vowed an appeal, calling it a “Biden directed witch hunt.”

A federal jury ordered Trump to pay damages to Carroll for allegedly destroying her reputation as a trustworthy journalist after she accused him in 2019 of raping her nearly three decades ago.

Another jury last May ordered Trump to pay Carroll $5 million over a similar October 2022 denial, finding that he had defamed and sexually abused Carroll. Trump is appealing that decision.

“Absolutely ridiculous! I fully disagree with both verdicts, and will be appealing this whole Biden Directed Witch Hunt focused on me and the Republican Party. Our Legal System is out of control, and being used as a Political Weapon. They have taken away all First Amendment Rights. THIS IS NOT AMERICA!” Trump posted very shortly after the verdict came down.

Will that be enough to stop him from talking about her? Doubtful. On appeal, Trump will have to post a bond or pledge clear and free assets in the amount of the final judgement (which the trial judge will likely reduce).

He “defamed” her by claiming he did t assault her.

She was selling a book.

Didn’t know when it happened.

When it’s alleged to have happened the out she said she was wearing didn’t exist yet.

She a fuggin nut bag.

The plan for this was hatched at Kathy Griffins house and its plot is an episode of Law n Order.

This is the justice system in a far left haven sharticus.

Pages 6 and 7 among others. Judges words.

He raped her. It’s been litigated.

Your hero forcibly finger fucked a woman and you are ok with it. That is settled whether you like it or not

In the words of the great rapist. SAD!

The courts determined he sexually assaulted (raped) her. It doesn’t really matter who you think funded her case. He’s guilty. He raped her and will lose on appeal.

Your boy is a rapist. And you thought slick Willy was bad. At least his **** grabbing was consensual and never considered rape.

1. Rape - affirmative.
2. Fraud - affirmative.

That should be enough to open peoples eyes, But I guess it’s going to take the criminal charges. Stay tuned for those and expect the same results. And also expect the idiots of the world to not focus on the crime, but on who’s paying an attorney. You can’t fix stupid or brainwashed.

All of the innuendo and accusations are true, but confirmed and proven allegations in court are false. Got it.
