Following the defamation verdict against Former President Donald Trump, E. Jean Carroll, the author who accused Trump of sexual assault, has announced her intention to donate the entire $83 million in damages awarded to causes she says “hate” Trump.
Trump called the decision “absurd” and has returned to the campaign trail ahead of the Republican Party’s flag bearer election.
A source revealed that despite his endless legal battles, Trump remains confident he will win the election and secure a second term in the Oval Office.

Carroll’s defamation claim stems from her accusations against Trump in 2019, in which she claimed he sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s. At the time, the real estate mogul denied the allegations and continued to defame him, calling him a fraud and saying that his accusations were “the work of a con man”.
An anonymous nine-person jury found him guilty of defaming the author and slapped him with an astonishing $83.3 million in damages. Carroll has now revealed what he intends to do with the settlement, and it’s sure to upset Trump.
According to reports, she revealed that she wanted to donate the money to a cause that Trump “hated” and would “make him sick.” She also stated in her appearance on “Good Morning America” that she wants to set up a fund for women who have been “sexually assaulted” by Trump and will not rule out filing another case if he defames her again.

The former number one made headlines last week when he walked out of court as the columnist’s guilty verdict for defamation was read out. He was, however, ordered to pay her about $7.3 million for “emotional injury,” plus $11 million for “reputational damages” and $65 million for “punitive damages.”
Although Trump has repeatedly denied the allegations, claiming that he had never met Carroll, he was found guilty of sexually assaulting her last May. At the time Carroll first revealed the allegations, Trump called it a “con job,” adding that “People should pay dearly for those false accusations.”
Reacting to the decision in a statement, Carroll said it was “a huge victory for every woman who stood up when she was knocked down and a huge defeat for every bully who tried to stop a woman.”
Regarding his feelings on the court, Carroll revealed in his appearance on “Good Morning America” that he felt “happy” and that it was “great”, that it “nourished” him and that it “almost hurts.”

Elsewhere on the show, Carroll went on to describe what the days leading up to the decision were like for him, noting that he “couldn’t eat, couldn’t do anything.”
He noted that when he saw Trump in court, “He was like nothing, adding that he looked” Like an emperor without clothes.
“It was an amazing reaction. It’s probably because she has held me by my little hand and made me feel safe,” Carroll said of her attorney, Roberta Kaplan. “He is the emperor without clothes. He is not there.”
Kaplan said that “all options are on the table” should Trump defame Carroll again.
“If we have to bring another case, we will bring another case…it will just be more money,” added the former columnist.
Donald Trump Vows To Appeal The Decision

The former reality TV star took to social media to react to the decision, describing it as “ridiculous” as she vowed to appeal.
“It’s ridiculous! I completely disagree with both decisions and will appeal the entire Biden Directed Witch Hunt focused on me and the Republican Party,” he wrote on Truth Social. “Our Legal System is out of control and being used as a Political Weapon.”
However, a source with inside knowledge told Pages Six that Trump remains confident of securing his re-election bid despite an interesting legal battle.
Trump is on top of the world right now. Everyone [at his private club, Mar-a-Lago] already treating him like he’s the president in Florida,” the source told the news outlet.
The source added, “He’s absolutely confident he’s on track to win the presidency again. He is very optimistic. He is happy… he is already predicting landslides across the country to assistants and friends.”
