The writer Elizabeth Jean Carroll is considering filing another defamation complaint against former United States President Donald Trump after a controversial interview on CNN in which he again denied the case of sexual abuse against him. All this despite being convicted Tuesday by a federal jury in Manhattan.

“All options are on the table, obviously (…) We have to weigh the pros and cons. We will make the decision in the next few days, in all probability,” said the legal representative of the writer, Roberta Kaplan, according to The New York Times.

Carroll has branded Trump's comments in an interview with the aforementioned media as “vile” and “disgusting”, at the same time that he has affirmed that he is “upset on behalf of the men of the United States”. “They can't listen to this nonsense and this old-fashioned view of women: it's a man-cave view,” she said.

In an interview given the day before to the US television network CNN, Trump denied having raped Carroll and even knowing her.. “I have never met this woman,” he said, later saying that they met in a store.

“What kind of woman meets someone and in a matter of minutes is making a mess in a changing room (…) I didn't even know if this woman was married then. John Johnson, I'm so sorry for you,” Trump said, after which the audience erupted in laughter.

During the interview with CNN, Trump also denied having raped the writer.. “I swear on my children's name. This is a false story, an invented story,” said the former US president.

A federal jury in Manhattan found the former US president guilty Tuesday of sexually abusing the writer Elizabeth in 1996 and years later of slandering her when she denounced the assault.

Carroll sued Trump for rape and defamation for the sexual assault that, according to her, occurred in some fitting rooms of Bergdorf Goodman, a luxury department store in New York, in the mid-1990s.. Trump denied such facts, accusing her of making it up to sell a book and destroy him politically.

The case dates back to 2019, after Carroll sued him for defamation after calling her “crazy” and attacking her physical appearance to deny her. However, in November 2022 a new law came into force in the state of New York that enabled the possibility that she could report him for sexual assault by being considered a survivor of this type of assault despite having prescribed.
