E. Jean Carroll sued Donald Trump and won. Twice. She told us how.
The second administration of Donald Trump is replete with reminders of his far-reaching power and influence. Amid daily headlines about his worldwide trade war and unprecedented immigration crackdown, it's easy to forget the times the President has been humbled — and the people who did the humbling. I spoke by Zoom with one of them. E. Jean Carroll is the only woman to sue President Donald Trump twice and win both times: first for sexual assault, and then for defamation. Her book, 'Not My Type: One Woman Vs. a President,' was released in June.

US appeals court won't reconsider Trump's $5 million loss to E. Jean Carroll
US appeals court won't reconsider Trump's $5 million loss to E. Jean Carroll A divided 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has left intact its Dec. 30 decision upholding a $5 million verdict against Donald Trump Show Caption Hide Caption Judges deliberating on Trump's E. Jean Carroll appeal Judges are deliberating on whether the jury that awarded E. Jean Carroll $5 million should have been allowed to hear other allegations. NEW YORK, June 13 (Reuters) - Donald Trump failed to persuade a federal appeals court to reconsider the $5 million verdict won by E. Jean Carroll after a jury found that the U.S. president sexually abused and defamed the former magazine columnist. A divided 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan on June 13 left intact its Dec. 30, 2024, decision upholding the jury award. Carroll, now 81, accused Trump of attacking her around 1996 in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in Manhattan, and defaming her in an October 2022 Truth Social post by denying her claim as a hoax. More: Trump loses appeal of sexual abuse and defamation judgment in E. Jean Carroll case Jurors decided in May 2023 that Trump had sexually assaulted Carroll, and defamed her by lying. They did not find that Trump raped Carroll, as she had claimed. More: Did Donald Trump rape E. Jean Carroll? Here's what a jury and judge said. In seeking reconsideration, Trump maintained that the trial judge erred in letting jurors review the 2005 "Access Hollywood" video of him bragging about his sexual prowess, and a "pile-on" of inflammatory evidence that he mistreated two other women. One, businesswoman Jessica Leeds, said Trump groped her on a plane in the late 1970s. The other, former People magazine writer Natasha Stoynoff, said Trump forcibly kissed her at his Mar-a-Lago estate in 2005. Trump has denied their claims. More: Jury finds Donald Trump liable in civil sex abuse case of E. Jean Carroll Trump, who turns 79 on June 14, is separately appealing an $83.3 million jury verdict in January 2024 for defaming Carroll and damaging her reputation in June 2019, when he first denied her claim about the Bergdorf encounter. The president is arguing in that appeal that the U.S. Supreme Court's decision last July providing him substantial criminal immunity shields him from liability in Carroll's civil case. In his 2019 and 2022 denials of Carroll's accusations, Trump said she was "not my type" and had made up the rape claim to promote her memoir.
