Columnist sues Trump for calling her sex assault claim a lie
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn advice columnist who says US President Donald Trump sexually assaulted her in a New York City department store dressing room in the 1990s is now suing him for defamation.
E. Jean Carroll files a lawsuit Monday in New York. The suit says Trump harmed her reputation and career when he said she was lying and he’d never even met her.
A message requesting comment was sent to a law firm that has represented Trump in other cases.
Carroll first made the allegation in a New York magazine article in June. At the time, Trump said she was “totally lying” and called her “not my type.”
He also said he’d never met her, though a 1987 photo shows him and Carroll in a photo with their spouses at the time.
