NOT SO FAST! Trump Appeals $83.3 Million Defamation Award & E Jean Carroll AGREES to Stay Collection

Added: 2026-05-10

[00:00:01]You might remember people such as Eugene Carol. You might remember the Eugene Carol nutag who accused Donald Trump of doing things to her in the changing room of a Burgdorf clothing store back in the 80s or 90s.

[00:00:15]She doesn't really know, you know, invoking a dress that she was wearing at the time. Apparently, that didn't exist at the time. a woman who was on Facebook seemingly uh enamored by Donald Trump, posting things about Donald Trump, posting things about, by the way, her love for law and order. And they had an episode of Law and Order in which there was an episode specifically mirroring, paralleling the allegations Eugene Carol made against one Donald John Trump. She accuses him of sexual improprieties and then when Trump asserts that she's a batshit crazy old lady, she sues him for defamation for his asserting of his innocence to her, in my view, frivolous, baseless allegations. And I don't give one sweet bug or all that a corrupt court in New York uh found Trump liable for some form of improper sexual behavior. I I don't care. It's the most biggest steaming pile of judicial crap you've ever heard. Lawfair on steroids.

[00:01:18]The only reason she was able to sue, to refresh everybody's memory, is that she, through her lawyer, spearheaded an amendment to a law that created a window of opportunity, u an extension of the statute of limitations to sue for alleged sexual improper behavior that would have otherwise been timebarred.

[00:01:35]She petitioned for this amendment to the law, which the window has now closed, so nobody can benefit from this law ever again. And the second it became available, she filed suit under this law that her own lawyer admitted she was pivotal in having passed. Now, Eugene Carol is a nutcase, a certifiable bonafide nutcase. And if anybody has any lingering doubts, I'll just refresh your memory as to what she said on Anderson Cooper about rape and in her mind it being sexy. It was so egregiously shocking that Anderson Cooper laughs uncomfortably and then has to cut to break to deal with this. Listen to this.

[00:02:14]>> Victim.

[00:02:15]>> You don't feel like a victim.

[00:02:16]>> I was not thrown on the ground and ravished. Which the word raped carries so many sexual connotations. This was not this was not sexual for it just it it hurt. It just it just you know >> I think most people think of rape as a I mean it is a violent assault. That is not >> I think most people think of rape as being sexy.

[00:02:39]>> Let's take a short break.

[00:02:40]>> Think of the fantasies.

[00:02:42]>> We just going to take a quick break. If you can stick around, we'll talk more on the other side.

[00:02:46]>> You're fascinating to talk to.

[00:02:49]>> I mean, this is it's the it's the most glorious uh symbol of insanity you've ever seen in your life. Eugene Carol filed two separate claims against Trump.

[00:02:59]One was for defamation for his asserting that, you know, she's crazy. never knew anything about her. Um, and she won on that. And then she filed a separate one for the actual damages from the alleged, you know, finger penetration. I It feels so dirty saying those words because it is dirty just all around. So, she filed two separate claims and she got $83.3 million on the defamation and she got it was a few million on the alleged digital penetration as they said. It was the judge Kaplan who deemed that finding to be tantamount to rape. Uh he adjudicated rapist according to Judge Kaplan who bastardized whatever statute he was found liable under to mean rape and people ran with the headlines. Trump is an adjudicated rapist. Now it it was all lawfare from the get-go. Corrupt judges who deserve to be impeached but never will be. And Eugene Carol had two separate rulings in her favor. the $83.3 million judgment they're appealing to the Supreme Court and in the interim they have done something interesting which is asked for a stay of the ruling a pause on the ruling uh the order the payment and Eene Carol has allegedly at least by the filings so it's kind of you know if they're alleging consent of the parties then you presume they wouldn't be making up something that there is in fact no consent of the parties they've consented the question is going to be why The filing itself will briefly gloss over.

[00:04:30]It's it's more or less interesting. It's just raising immunity, Westfall Act immunity, presidential immunity. It's saying that there were some, you know, considerations that were not factored in in the process. And that Supreme Court ruled that, you know, Trump has the three types of either uh uh objective presidential immunity, presumptive pre presidential immunity, or no presidential immunity. And when he asserted his is his innocence to these allegations, it was at least one of the two types of presidential immunities that he benefits from. And therefore, he couldn't be found li found liable for asserting his innocence and calling this woman what a great many people understand that she is batshit crazy.

[00:05:10]Trump asks appeal court to pause ruling in Egene Carol case pending Supreme Court decision. Federal appeals court last week rejected the president's request for another hearing challenging the $83 million defamation award. And here's Eugene Carol. She won $83 million.

[00:05:26]Eugene Cow won the $83 million settlement after a federal jury decided Donald Trump defamed her when he repeatedly denied that he sexually abused her in 1996. Can we appreciate that we living through Kafka, Orwell, Kurt Vonagget? I mean, we are living through an Orwellian hellhole dystopia of a present. When someone is found liable for repeatedly denying that he sexually abused someone when she alleges it and he asserts his innocence. It's almost as insane as when Alex Jones was not allowed asserting his innocence in his bull crap show trial, which was actually not on the merits of any defamation or intentional infliction of emotional distress, but only on the merits on the quantum, sorry, of the award. He couldn't assert that his innocence. He couldn't assert that he apologized. He couldn't assert that he retracted. And then they what ordered him to pay $ 1.5 billion. Now, not to get into the strategic error of Trump to hold that $ 1.5 billion judgment against Alex Jones while himself being victim to an absurd, patently absurd process, patently absurd award. Set that aside.

[00:06:38]Let's just read this. Trump asked a federal pedal federal appeals court Tuesday to pause its ruling rejecting his challenge to Eugene Cow's $83 million defamation case as he looks to take the course the case to the Supreme Court. Trump asked the second circuit of appeals in New York to halt its ruling so he can present questions relating to presidential immunity and the Westfall Act to the high court. Carol, a writer, she's a writer. She's a writer of fiction, fanfiction at that. Won the damages after a federal jury decided that Trump defamed her when he repeatedly denied her accusation that he sexually abused her in a Burgdorf Goodman dressing room in 1996. Can you like read that? See, I would say like when something is is too batshit crazy to fully appreciate, read it three times. She won the damages after a federal jury decided that Trump defamed her when he repeatedly denied her accusation that he sexually abused her in a Burgdorf Goodman dressing room in 1996. How the hell can this ever be allowed to stand? I don't care what anybody feels about anybody. I don't care who you think that is. Can you understand that he was found liable 83 was like 60 some odd million dollars in punitive damages because he denied her accusation. So, you admit your guilt and if you deny your guilt, defamation. It kind of sounds like exactly what they did to Alex Jones. Federal Court of Appeals issued a ruling last week rebuffing Trump's request for a hearing by the full bench of judges or an ombon hearing on Bong's on the bench to challenge the $83 million uh Carol won in 2024. The ruling opened the way for Trump to petition the Supreme Court.

[00:08:12]Trump sought to invoke the Westfall Act to switch out his name as defendant and replace it with the United States. In a split vote, the majority denied the request to hear that challenge. The Westfall Act, as we all know, anyone who's been around the channel for long enough, protect government employees from common lawsuits such as defamation while they are engaged in their official duties. Changing the defendant from Trump to the federal government would nullify Carol's defamation case as the US government cannot be sued for defamation. Tuesday's ruling, Trump's legal team uh in Tuesday's filing, Trump's legal team wrote, quote, "There is also a fair, in fact, strong prospect that the Supreme Court will reverse the panel's Westfall Act decision." The filing added that there is a likelihood of irreparable harm against Trump if the court does not temporarily block Carol from collecting her $83 million award.

[00:08:57]There's also a bit of an exposure to Eugene Carol if she does collect that $83 million award. And then the Supreme Court does in fact reverse this, which is presumably why she consented to the state. Carol's legal team responded to the request within the with the court filing, writing that she does not oppose the motion as long as Trump raises the bond by 7.46 46 million to account for the postjudgment interest that would acrue during Supreme Court proceedings.

[00:09:20]In a statement to NBC, a spokesperson for Trump's legal team said they would pursue their appeal. The American people stand with President Trump in demanding an immediate end to the unlawful radical weaponization of our justice system and a swift dismissal of all the witch hunts, including the illegal Democrat-funded travesty of the Carol hoaxes, the defense of which the attorney general has determined is legally required to be taken over by the Department of Justice because Carol based her false claims on the president's official acts. Spokesman said Carol's legal team told NBC News it would not be commented further when contacted. Yeah. Okay, okay, okay, we can skip the rest of this. The filing signed by the assistant general Brett Shoemate said it finds quote good cause in Trump's request to pause the second circuit's ruling and the federal government will ask the Supreme Court to overturn the lower court's ruling and allow Trump's name to be removed as a defendant. A three judge panel of the second circuit first rejected an appeal from Trump that was based on presidential immunity in September. Of course, Trump also asked the high court to consider his appeal against a separate $5 million lawsuit from Carol.

[00:10:22]Trump filed that appeal in November after a federal appeals court rejected his challenges to the lawsuit in June.

[00:10:26]That was the other case. That $5 million lawsuit focused on comments he made about Carol after his first term ended as well as the alleged assault itself.

[00:10:33]The $83 million lawsuit instead was centered on the disputes Trump made about Carol's accusations while he was president.

[00:10:40]Trump first began public office and whatever that there. So, that's the article, and we're going to go just quickly over the lawsuit itself, just so you can um see the the the gist of the argument, which we don't really need to get into because it's pretty straightforward. Um, you know, they they flesh it out, the stay and the appeals.

[00:11:00]This is from United States Cir Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, Eugene Carol, plaintiff, President Donald Trump. In a descent from the denial of rehearing Bong, three judges of this court identified in the panel's opinion opinions, legal errors, important questions of federal law, as well as conflicts with the president's presidents of the Supreme Court and other circuit courts. First, there's a reasonable probability that the Supreme Court will grant Cersiari to address among other potential questions presented, presidential immunity and the Westfall Act, which governs federal employees while they're acting as federal employees. Supreme Court has granted cersari each time that a president has sought review of a lower court decision rejecting an assertion of presidential immunity. Fine. Second, there is a fair prospect of reversal.

[00:11:44]And now that I realize this, I'm not showing the document right here.

[00:11:48]Now I got to find it. Oh, where is it?

[00:11:50]Here it's right here. Uh the first one was this reasonable probability the Supreme Court will grant Cersiari as they've done in the past. Second prospect of reversal panel's sole rationale for its immunity waiver determination law of the case will not apply to the Supreme Court and improperly ignored Trump versus the United States. That was the decision that talked about absolute presidential immunity uh not subjective but rather presumptive presidential immunity and no presidential immunity for purely private acts. And then the question is going to be when as president he asserts his innocence from these what I feel to be baseless defamatory allegations themselves whether or not he's doing it as president as a federal employee who's protected by the Westfall Act. And then third, what were second? There's a fair, in fact, strong prospect that the Supreme Court will reverse the panel's Westfall Act decision. As the descent recognized, there was no principal justification for holding that Attorney General Bar's certification decision could be revisited by Attorney General Garland. But attorney general Garland's certification decision could not be revisited by Attorney General Bondi.

[00:12:51]Third, likelihood of irreparable harm absent the state. President Trump may immediately be required to bear the burdens of proceedings to execute on a judgment of $83.3 million, allowing these proceedings before the Supreme Court has reviewed the significant legal questions presented here would quote eviscerate the immunity the Supreme Court has recognized. Fourth, the equity strongly, when you're going for this type of thing, you got a balance of inconvenience as we used to call it up in Canada. The fourth, the equity strongly favor a stay of the mandate.

[00:13:19]President Trump will suffer irreparable harm if a stay is not granted by being deprived of immunity from proceedings to enforce the judgment and then we can go on there. Now some people would ask why on earth Eugene Carol would agree to stay the proceedings.

[00:13:33]Other people have pointed out they pointed out in the article as well. You know she's promised to donate the monies in any event. So there's no prejudice to her to not collect on the monies that she's going to donate anyhow. But there is in fact substantial risk. I had to double check this because if she gets the monies and she takes her $83 million and she's ultimately, I don't know, in a year or two ordered to repay it because it's reversed on the Supreme Court ruling, well, she'd have to repay the $83 million plus the interest, whatever legal interest rate it would acrue at on the basis that, you know, when you put the money in court and you put it in there in an interestbearing account and it sits there pending adjudication, the interest acrru and whoever gets that money returned to them or given to them will have the interest that accured while it's in the trust interestbearing account. If Eugene Carol takes that 83 million bucks, a if she gives it away, she's got to give it back if they overturn it. But even if she just sat on it, she would if ever ordered to repay it, have to repay the 83 million, which she'd, you know, sit in an account plus whatever the interest rate at the legal rate would be. And so the interest on 83 million bucks, as we remember, uh was it Leticia James was rubbing in Trump's face. Here's the daily interest on your $500 million judgment that we also lawfared out of you through a jud a corrupt judicial process. Well, the daily interest rate is quite a bit. 83 million bucks. I don't know if you just say four and a half% per year. It's a lot. So, there is zero incentive for Eugene Carol given her stated objectives to donate the money to collect it and in fact substantial risk if this is ever overturned as it should be. If there's ever going to be any meaningful law and order and rule of law in the court system, she would have to repay that money plus whatever the interests acred throughout the process, which could be substantial.

[00:15:18]And so that is what's going on with Eugene Carol. In my view, she is a crazy person. She's a crazy person.

[00:15:25]And as the Democrats, leftists, and progressives tend to do, they tend to exploit crazy people, mentally ill, vulnerable pe vulnerable people for their political purposes. As they abused and exploited Eugene Carol for theirs, they got their useful idiot to file this lawsuit as a result of legislative changes that she herself through council spearheaded. They got her to file the suit and then they had their opportunity, they had their vehicle to railroad Trump through a corrupt lawfare judicial proceeding uh in, you know, total nonconformity with what had become established Supreme Court law on immunity itself and despite any procedural fair fair fair play in the court system. It was a joke at the time. We've covered it at length throughout the time. Now Trump is appealing to the Supreme Court, asks for a stay of execution of judgment to which Eugene Carol showing a little bit of good sense conceds and we'll see where it goes. If it does not get reversed by the Supreme Court, we will have a serious injustice on our hands. And the fact that Trump has to go to the Supreme Court to reverse this judicial injustice should be a pause and cause for reflection to not ratify, condone, or rub in other people's faces the consequences of similar judicial abuse to other people who are also politically disfavored.

[00:16:50]And that's that.
