He's suing because when CNN asked Carroll her reaction to a jury finding that Trump assaulted but didn't rape her, she said she thought, 'Oh yes he did.'
outlets, Carroll’s lawyer Roberta Kaplan said: “Donald Trump again argues, contrary to both logic and fact, that he was exonerated by a jury that found that he sexually abused E Jean Carroll by forcibly inserting his fingers into her vagina,” adding that his claims either do not apply given New York’s statute of limitations, or that they will not “withstand a motion to dismiss.”
Carroll was awarded $5 million in damages in May, but has since increased the amount she is seeking by $10 million after Trump claimed during the town hall—which, again, was broadcast on national TV the day after the ruling—that he’d never met her; accused her of calling her husband a racist epithet; and bizarrely said she named a pet “Vagina.” Trump is also appealing the May ruling, so their legal battle isn’t fading from the headlines any time soon.
