E. Jean Carroll might sue Donald Trump for defamation a third time, her lawyer told the New York Times.
On Wednesday at a CNN Town Hall, Trump called Carroll’s allegations he sexually abused her “fake.”
A Manhattan jury on Tuesday found Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll in 1996.
E. Jean Carroll is thinking about suing Donald Trump for defamation for a third time for repeatedly trashing her during a Wednesday night CNN town hall, her lawyer told the New York Times.
“Everything’s on the table, obviously, and we have to give serious consideration to it,” Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan told the Times. “We have to weigh the various pros and cons and we’ll come to a decision in the next day or so, probably.”
During the 70-minute-long CNN event, Trump called her allegations of sexual abuse “fake” and a “made-up story.” The audience laughed.
A Manhattan jury on Tuesday found Trump was liable for sexually abusing Carroll in 1996. It also found him liable for defaming her when he called her a liar years later.
Trump’s lead attorney in the trial, Joe Tacopina, has said Trump plans to appeal the jury verdict.
Asked Thursday if he was concerned by the prospect of additional defamation lawsuits from Carroll following Trump’s comments on CNN, Tacopina answered in the negative.
“No, I am not,” Tacopina said in a text message to Insider.
Kaplan didn’t immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.
