President Donald Trump is complaining to a federal court about the millions of dollars he was recently forced to pay out in the long-running defamation case brought and won by writer E. Jean Carroll.
Now, with the money already in Carroll’s possession, Trump’s legal team is alleging that Carroll’s legal team misled the court.
“While the funds remained safely in CRIS, counsel assured this Court that they would be placed in an ‘interest-bearing account,’” the reply brief goes on. “After securing possession, Plaintiff disclosed that the funds were instead placed in a personal investment account for her retirement—and invoked the S&P 500 to justify keeping them there. That was not a clarification. It was a bait-and-switch on the precise assurance used to resist judicial intervention.”


If I were E, I’d consider buying ad space to display my market gains. Maybe a billboard, definitely a website. Possibly hire a guy to make a statue for the national mall. Idk, I’d have some fun with this.
I’m all about finding the thing that would piss him off most, and investing heavily in that.
