Roberta Kaplan, the lawyer for Eugene Carroll, who less than a week ago, secured a major
verdict for her client in the assault slash defamation trial against Donald Trump.
Did tell reporters after Donald Trump's disastrous town hall that quote, everything is on the
table, when asked if they were going to file another lawsuit for the defamation that Donald
Trump may have engaged in during the CNN Town Hall.
Now, if you didn't watch the CNN Town Hall, first of all, good for you.
You're a good person.
Thank you for not doing that.
Second of all, Donald Trump was of course asked about Eugene Carroll, where he swore
on his own children that he has never met her in his entire life.
And then he called her a, a, a, what was it?
A fake, a phony, uh, said it was a made up story.
So once again, when you're calling somebody fake, when you're saying it's a made up story,
you're calling them a liar, even though literally the day before a jury decided that she was
not in fact lying about it.
So Trump is in fact lying and telling another falsehood, basically the exact same falsehood
that you already told about this woman that got you sued in the first place, and now you're
still repeating it.
That is 100% something that Eugene Carroll can sue again for.
All right?
It's not like, okay, well, I defamed her once and I'm liable, so now I can just defamer
all I want because now I have a free pass.
I'm done with it.
Like, no, you can be sued each and every time that you continue to do it.
Something that, by the way, MyPillow guy Mike Lindell needs to be aware of as he continues
to go out there and spread false claims about voting companies in the United States, even
though he's still facing his defamation trial.
Everything you say can and will be added to those lawsuits.
But Trump's case is particularly revolting because it literally happened the day after
a jury said that Eugene Carroll is not lying about any of this.
So what are the possibilities here?
Well, according to the reports, there is still the defamation trial that is pending, even
though the defamation trial was technically a part of the one last week.
So I'm not even sure how that works.
There, there are kind of conflicting reports, and obviously since I'm not, uh, involved
in the case, clearly I, I don't know what's real and what's not.
So it's hard to sort out.
So here's a couple of possibilities.
If there is in fact still a defamation case pending against Donald Trump, filed by Eugene
Carroll, they would likely amend the complaint to com, uh, um, uh, uh, include, excuse me,
the new claims from Donald Trump, and it would just all be added to it, and they may seek
a higher amount
Of money as restitution for it.
If there is not currently still a pending defamation lawsuit against Donald Trump, they
would go through the process of simply filing a new lawsuit.
And they should not only because Donald Trump is still out there making the same claims
that got em sued in the first place, but because you've already proven that you can win this,
okay, you've already done it once, just go back and do the same thing again.
I mean, honest to God, like what do you have to lose at that point other than of course,
some of your time.
But really, I mean, isn't that worth it if you can put Donald Trump through the ringer
again and win because you've already proven you can win this claim.
Like just do it.
Obviously, it's easy for me to sit on the sidelines as a spectator.
Same thing with everybody else.
Like of course we can sit here and just be like, just do it.
Just do it.
It is a lot of work.
It's a lot of work for the lawyers.
It is a lot of time, it's a lot of hassle, and it's gonna result in a lot more defamation
and hurtful language coming from Donald Trump.
So you do have to weigh the risks versus the benefits.
The benefit, of course, is you're probably definitely going to win it.
The risks are Donald Trump continuing to say horrible things about you to his idiotic and
easily motivated base that could result in horrible things happening.
So I get if they don't want to go that route, but if they choose to do so, it's pretty much
a slam dunk.
