The ongoing trial between President Trump and E. Jean Carroll is drawing to a close, and the revelations from the proceedings are nothing short of shocking. As Carroll took the stand to testify against Trump, she broke down in tears, claiming that the President had destroyed her reputation by calling her a “whack job” and “not my type” after she accused him of rape in 2019. However, as the trial unfolded, Carroll made a stunning admission that sheds light on her true intentions behind her media tour.
During questioning, Carroll revealed that she did four television interviews and several podcasts to promote her book. When asked what she talked about during these interviews, the plaintiff admitted that she primarily discussed President Trump, stating that “the journalists wanted to hear about him.” However, she also made a shocking revelation about the underlying motive behind her media tour.
Carroll admitted that she noticed her book was not selling well, so she strategically focused on discussing Trump in order to generate buzz and sales.
RK: Did you promote your book – switching gears, sorry
Carroll: I did 4 TV interviews. & 4 or 5 podcasts
RK: What did you talk about?
Carroll: The journalists wanted to hear about President Trump. I saw that the book was not selling – so I tried to talk about it— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) January 17, 2024
In another shocking twist, Carroll revealed that it was George Conway, a prominent Never Trumper and member of the Lincoln Project, who convinced her to sue Trump. Under the guidance of Conway, who took her aside at a party and showed her the difference between a criminal and civil case on his iPad, Carroll made the decision to file a lawsuit against the President.
This raises questions about the validity and seriousness of Carroll’s accusations, as it appears that she was heavily influenced by a politically-motivated individual.
The attorneys representing Carroll attempted to paint Trump as the culprit of online attacks and bullying against their client. Yet, upon further examination, it becomes clear that Carroll’s own actions have contributed to the negativity surrounding her. By publicly accusing the President of rape, she opened herself up to criticism and scrutiny, and it is no surprise that not everyone responded positively.
Additionally, as Carroll admitted, her media tour was a calculated strategy to gain fame and attention, which naturally comes with backlash and negative comments on social media.
RK: When did you decide to sue?
Carroll: I was at a party with George Conway. He took me aside. He had an iPad. He explained the difference between a criminal case and a civil case. He took me through the steps. He said he could suggest an attorney— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) January 17, 2024
In light of these revelations, it is clear that Carroll’s motives and actionns are questionable. By her own admission, she strategically used the allegations against Trump to promote her book and garner attention.
It appears that her decision to sue the President was influenced by politically-motivated individuals. The defense, led by Trump’s lawyer Alina Habba, rightly pointed out that the internet will always have something to say, and it is not always going to be nice. To claim that Trump’s statements in defense of false accusations have damaged her reputation and caused her harm is disingenuous, as Carroll has benefited greatly from the media attention and fame surrounding her accusations.
