Writer E. Jean Carroll accused Trump of raping her in a Manhattan department store in a lawsuit, and a jury found him liable for sexual abuse. A judge this month rejected Trump’s defamation counterclaim, saying Carroll’s insistence in a post-verdict TV interview that Trump raped her was “substantially true.”

      What’s the point of making claims of you don’t intend on trying to make people believe them? Sometimes we want sources so we can have real numbers and details that we can reference.
