| Since losing a civil case to the journalist, who accused him of sexual abuse and defamation, Trump has doubled down on his attacks.  Photograph by Sarah Blesener / NYT / Redux On May 9th, a Manhattan jury awarded E. Jean Carroll five million dollars in her civil case against Donald Trump, finding the former President liable for sexual abuse and defamation. The next night, during a television town hall in New Hampshire organized by CNN, Trump mocked Carroll as a “wack job” and a liar, as a crowd of his supporters laughed uproariously. In a new interview, Carroll talks to David Remnick about the whiplash she felt during those days, as her vindication in court was muddied by further insults and ridicule. “It was not a slap against me,” she says. “It was a slap against almost every single woman who was hearing him.” Although she notes that Trump is unlikely to stop his attacks, Carroll says that she isn’t finished trying to hold him accountable. Remnick’s interview with Carroll and her attorney, Roberta Kaplan, will air on the upcoming episode of The New Yorker Radio Hour. Find the podcast here » |
