E. Jean Carroll Hopes To Cause Donald Trump 'Pain' With Her $83.3M Settlement

Following the defamation verdict against Ex-President Donald Trump, E. Jean Carroll, the writer who accused Trump of sexual assault, has announced her intention to donate the entirety of the awarded $83 million in damages to causes that Trump purportedly "hates."

Trump called the verdict "ridiculous" and has returned to the campaign trail ahead of the Republican Party flagbearer polls.

A source revealed that despite his never-ending legal battles, Trump remains confident he'll win at the polls and secure a second tenure in the Oval Office.

Carroll's defamation lawsuit comes from her accusation against Trump in 2019, in which she alleged that he sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s. At the time, the real estate mogul denied the allegations and went on to defame her, calling her a liar and saying that her accusation was a "con job."

An anonymous nine-man jury found him guilty of defaming the writer and slammed him with a stunning $83.3 million fine in damages. Carroll has now revealed what she intends to do with the settlement, and it is sure to cause Trump a couple of irks.

According to a report, she disclosed that she wants to donate the money to a cause that Trump "hates" and will "cause him pain." She also noted 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 wouldn't resist filing another case if he defames her again.

The former number-one citizen made headlines last week when he stormed out of the court just as the guilty verdict for defaming the columnist was to be read. He was, however, ordered to pay her about $7.3 million for "emotional harm," plus $11 million for "reputational damages" and $65 million for "punitive damages."

Although Trump has denied the allegations over and again, claiming that he has never met Carroll, he was found guilty of sexually assaulting her last May. At the time when Carroll first went public with the allegations, Trump called it a "con job," adding that "People should pay dearly for such false accusations."

Reacting to the verdict in a statement, Carroll said it was a "great victory for every woman who stands up when she's been knocked down and a huge defeat for every bully who has tried to keep a woman down."

On how she felt in court, Carroll divulged in her appearance on "Good Morning America" that she felt "elated" and it was "great," it "filled" her up and was "almost painful."

Elsewhere on the show, Carroll went on to describe what the days before the verdict were like for her, noting that she "couldn't eat, couldn't do anything."

She noted that when she 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 had taken me by my little hand and made me feel that secure," Carroll said of her lawyer, Roberta Kaplan. "He is the emperor with no 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'll bring another case…it's just going to be more money," the former columnist added.

The former reality TV star took to social media to react to the verdict, describing it as "ridiculous" as he vowed to appeal.

"Absolutely ridiculous! I fully disagree with both verdicts and will be appealing this whole 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 insider knowledge told PageSix that Trump remains confident about securing his re-election bid despite his endearing legal battles.

Trump's on top of the world right now. Everyone [at his private club, Mar-a-Lago] is already treating him like he's the president in Florida," the source told the news outlet.

The source added, "He's totally convinced he's on the path to winning the presidency again. He's very upbeat. He's elated… he's already predicting a landslide in the entire country to aides and friends."
