Trump faces third defamation trial — and this time damages could be devastating: lawyer
Raw StoryDonald Trump could be hit by a third defamation suit after he attacked E. Jean Carroll again in a January 17 press conference — and this time the financial hit could be devastating, a lawyer said Carroll’s lawyer has a transcript of the press event in which the former president repeated claims that Carroll lied about him sexually assaulting her in the 1990s, Newsweek reported.
