Judge tosses Trump defamation lawsuit against E. Jean Carroll

Because he simply isn’t ridiculous enough, Donald John Trump–age 7-7, former president, indicted felon and court-declared rapist–had a petty, childish defamation lawsuit he filed against his rape victim, E. Jean Carroll, thrown out of court, Reuters reports.

U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New York Lewis Kaplan ruled that Carroll did not defame Trump when she claimed Trump raped her in a CNN interview after a jury awarded her $5 million in her own defamation claim against Trump.  The jury in that civil suit did not find Trump inserted his mushroom into her–the act that narrowly defined rape in that accusation–because Carroll herself expressed uncertainty on the stand, saying she could tell if she was penetrated by a penis or one of Trump’s stubby thumbs.  The jury ruled, however, that Trump sexually assaulted her.

After Carroll’s appearance on CNN, Trump filed a lawsuit claiming Carroll defamed him.  Kaplan previously ruled that even if there were specific questions unanswered, the jury did effectively determine Trump raped Carroll.  Based on that and the finding that Carroll did not make her statements with malice, Kaplan tossed Trump’s lawsuit against Carroll.

Alina Habba, a lawyer for Trump who may or may not have represented Trump in this specific case because of Trump’s intermingling of counsel in his various legal problems, said “We strongly disagree with the flawed decision and will be filing an appeal shortly.”
