Trump Attempts to Halt Second E. Jean Carroll Lawsuit

Lawyers for Donald Trump are trying to stop a defamation lawsuit by writer E. Jean Carroll by using her successful $5 million verdict in a different case she won against the former president. Carroll alleges that Trump raped her in the mid-1990s and filed a battery and defamation suit over the rape allegation and Trump's post-presidency comments calling her claims a "con job" last year. Trump's lawyers argue that he could not have defamed Carroll by denying her rape accusation in the pending case because a jury in the other case found him liable for sexually abusing her, but not rape.
