NEW YORK — Former President Donald Trump is now suing the writer who sued him for defamation.
Trump is accusing E. Jean Carroll of defaming him when, after a jury held him liable for sexually assaulting her but not raping her as she initially claimed, Carroll appeared on television and insisted he did rape her.
Trump's counterclaim said Carroll's statements following her successful battery and defamation lawsuit caused"significant harm to his reputation," making him deserving of compensatory and punitive damages. "Specifically, Counterclaim Defendant stated in the Interview that she emphatically told Mr. Tacopina at the conclusion of the trial that 'he did it and you know it,' again reaffirming her claim that Counterclaimant raped her. Counterclaim Defendant made these statements knowing each of them were false or with reckless disregard for their truth or falsity," Trump's lawsuit said.
