Less than one full day after Donald Trump was found civilly guilty in the sexual
abuse lawsuit by E Jean Carroll, ordered to pay her $5 million.
He decided to go on CNN, have a town hall, and then repeat the exact
same claims that found him in this legal trouble that he's in.
So that theoretically has consequences, and we're gonna turn to those now.
So, during the event, he claimed again to have never met Carol before admitting
that, okay, he has actually met her.
He called her a whack job, he said that she only won the trial because of a rigged
deal, I guess everything's just rigged.
He can't even be bothered to come up with new excuse adjectives,
it's just all the same thing.
He said again, physically, she's not my type and now that I've gotten indirectly
to hear things about her, she wouldn't be my type in any way, shape, or form.
He said that about the woman who he's been found to have sexually abused so
that a crowd of people on live TV could laugh at her.
She has since responded, saying she was asleep at the time and did not learn of
his comments calling her claim of a decades-old sexual assault fake and
a made-up story until the following morning.
It's just stupid, she said, it's just disgusting, vile, foul,
it wounds people, she said she'd been insulted by better people though.
Now, she is weighing whether to file a new defamation lawsuit against Mr.
Trump, bear in mind,
she already has one additional defamation lawsuit that is still proceeding.
But I am not enough of a lawyer and unfortunately,
Adrienne is no longer the program to know,
if you are found civilly guilty of saying statement X and then owe amount Y.
If you then just say X again, is that baked into what you already paid with Y,
or can they just haul in again and add it to your tab?
I don't know how that works, Brett, what do you think?
>> I don't know, so in criminal court there's double jeopardy,
you can't be tried twice for the same crime, but if you do the crime again,
it's, I think if a serial killer gets out of jail and kills again,
it's not I guess, I don't know.
There is no way that he should be allowed to do this kind of stuff, it doesn't
pass the smell test, it's not you just bought a license to keep being horrible.
If you do it again, you should be able to get held criminally liable again and
he's not just paying her all this money,
he's paying a bunch of legal fees on his own, it can't be good for him.
And my contention with Donald Trump is you just have to remind people
that he's just so much, he's just so much, and it's not good.
And he is reminding a lot of folks in this era that he is so much and he's not good,
I think the CNN town hall made you rethink that because at the CNN town hall,
he was horrible, but people were cheering.
So maybe he's just fun, like a contemptible cad, but still affluent.
But with this,
the guy was found criminally liable in a sexual assault case or
civilly liable in a sexual assault case, and he is going to have to pay $5 million.
If those kinds of lawsuits keep coming up, I just think there's a certain amount of
fatigue he had on people before, he's gonna continue to have on them now.
>> Yeah, that's entirely possible.
It's one of the reasons why I'm not wholly against it in that he did lose in 2020,
partially because we knew so much of what he was.
And maybe to Anderson Cooper's limited credit I guess,
some people might have forgotten a little bit.
He hasn't been as in the news over the past two years, so,
it's possible, it's possible, yeah.
We'll see if this makes him owe millions more dollars,
I feel the next trial should be pretty quick.
You can present the first one as evidence and then show him saying the same thing,
feels you could wrap that up before lunch, but I'm not a lawyer.
And by the way, to my prior comment everyone, I just meant Adrienne was on
the show yesterday, we talked a lot about legal stuff, she's on the show today,
she's not gone anywhere.
>> He worded it weird, you were right.
>> Apologies, she's still with us,
she's just not still on the show from yesterday day, so, apologies.
>> She's unavailable today, I know cuz me and John reached out.
