(Bloomberg) -- Donald Trump is doubling down on his legal brawl with E. Jean Carroll, suing the New York author for defamation weeks after a jury held him liable for sexually abusing her.

The former president on Tuesday night filed a counterclaim accusing Carroll of trashing his reputation by publicly accusing him of rape during a May 10 appearance on CNN, despite jurors concluding a day earlier that his actions during the alleged 1996 assault hadn’t gone that far.


Trump “has been the subject of significant harm to his reputation, which, in turn, has yielded an inordinate amount of damages sustained as a result,” according to the filing.
A jury of six men and three women last month found Trump was liable for sexual abuse — and not liable for rape — before awarding Carroll $5 million in damages.
Trump’s court filing Tuesday is a counterclaim in a separate 2019 defamation lawsuit Carroll filed against him that is set to go to trial in January. While Carroll won the first trial, Trump has interpreted the verdict as a victory, of sorts, because of the finding on rape.
Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
A Trump lawyer had previously been denied court permission to file a counterclaim against Carroll in her defamation case because the request was made too late.
But Trump attorney Alina Habba argues that a new window for filing a counterclaim was opened earlier this month when Carroll was allowed to amend her defamation complaint after winning the battery trial.

Among other things, Carroll amended her complaint to change every “rape” reference to “sexual abuse.” Carroll also revised the complaint to add Trump’s remarks about her at a CNN town hall, where he called her a liar after the trial and accused her fabricating the attack.

When Carroll was asked on CNN a day after the verdict about the jury finding that Trump didn’t rape her, she falsely claimed otherwise, according to the filing.
“Oh yes he did, oh yes he did,” she said, according to the filing, which says that Carroll made the comments “with an intent to significantly and spitefully harm and attack” the former president.
“The interview was on television, social media and multiple internet websites, with the intention of broadcasting and circulating these defamatory statements among a significant portion of the public,” Trump’s lawyers said in the filing.
The case is Carroll v. Trump, 22-cv-10016, US District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday filed a counterclaim against writer E. Jean Carroll, alleging she defamed him after a jury found him liable of sexual abusing and defaming her last month.
Though Trump was not found liable for rape, Carroll has long claimed that the former presented sexually assaulted her in a department store dressing room in 1996. Trump's counterclaim focuses on Carroll's CNN appearance on May 10, a day after the verdict was handed down, in which she doubled down on the rape allegation. The lawsuit accuses Carroll of defaming Trump when she insisted "oh yes he did, oh yes he did," when responding to a question asking for commentary on the jury ruling that Trump was not liable for rape.
Trump's legal team in the filing states that Carroll made "these false statements with actual malice and ill will with an intent to significantly and spitefully harm and attack," and argues that Trump "has been the subject of significant harm to his reputation, which, in turn, has yielded an inordinate amount of damages sustained as a result."

"The interview was on television, social media and multiple internet websites, with the intention of broadcasting and circulating these defamatory statements among a significant portion of the public," the counterclaim adds.

Judge greenlights Carroll CNN town hall defamation claim — and "implicitly rejects" Trump defense
Carroll was awarded $5 million in damages last month, with $3 million of that sum being allocated to damages incurred by Trump calling Carroll's allegations a "con job" in an October 2022 statement. The trial Carroll won last month was the second of two lawsuits the longtime columnist had filed against the ex-president. Trump's Tuesday counterclaim was in response to Carroll's first suit, which accused the former president of slandering her when she initially came forward in June of 2019. That suit has not gone to trial yet.
Trump remained steadfast in his denial of Carroll's claims during a May appearance on a CNN town hall, saying, arguing they were "fake" and "made up." The ex-president denied having ever met Carroll — despite a photograph of the two together — and called her a "wack job," while referring to the trial as "a rigged deal."
Carroll responded to the town hall by submitting an additional filing in Manhattan federal court and asked for a "very substantial" additional amount of money from Trump over the comments.

"Donald Trump again argues, contrary to both logic and fact, that he was exonerated by a jury that found that he sexually abused E Jean Carroll …" Carroll's attorney, Roberta Kaplan said in a statement. "Four out of the five statements in Trump's so-called counterclaim were made outside of New York's one-year statute of limitations. The other statement similarly will not withstand a motion to dismiss."
"Trump's filing is thus nothing more than his latest effort to delay accountability for what a jury has already found to be his defamation of E Jean Carroll. But whether he likes it or not, that accountability is coming very soon," Kaplan said.
MSNBC legal analyst Katie Phang called Trump's counterclaim "truly, epically STUPID."

"I don't think it's possible to convey, in 280 characters or even 280,000 characters, just how stupid this is. Good Lord," agreed conservative attorney and frequent Trump critic George Conway.

Conway added that the judge in the case may impose "Rule 11 sanctions" over the counterclaim, referencing the enactment of a rule in which attorneys and parties submit pleadings that are petty or cannot be firmly substantiated.

Michael Popok of Legal AF explains why Trump uses Alina Habba to file meritless cases, and why the new retaliatory defamation case Trump late night filed against E Jean Carroll is doomed to failure and sanctions because Trump’s reputation is so poor he is incapable of being defamed at all.
