unanimously that former president donald trump had sexually abused e. jean carroll, and when he disparaged her, he was ordered to pay e. jean carroll $5 million in damages both for what he did and what he said about it. but if you watched the show last week and you saw that interview i did e. jean carroll and her attorney, you might remember that, you know, in addition to sort of reflecting on the fact they had won that case, one of the things they were newly contending with in the wake of that jury verdict is that even though trump had just been ordered to pay out millions of dollars because of his attacks on e. jean carroll, his lies about her, even though he d been ordered to pay millions of dollars within a day of that jury verdict ordered to pay all that money, he was out there saying all the same things again. you did force accountability and then you did it again, the defamation, the calling you a liar, the exact same things the jury held him liable for he did again
in the head with the bat, the intern hit b as well, although each of them was hospitalized after the attack tonight, today they ve both been released from the hospital. north of them has injuries believed to be life threatening. thank god. police have the alleged assailant in custody. he s a 49-year-old man reportedly from the congressman s district in northern virginia. police say he s being charged with felony aggravated malicious wounding but not saying anything about his potential motives at this time or anything about even the a extent to which he d had them. the man is i should tell you on record as having last year filed a lawsuit against the cia alleging the cia was somehow torturing him from the fourth dimension. the new york times reports there was a hand written lawsuit and the man was representing himself as his own lawyer in this case, so read into that what you will. there s that. republican house speaker kevin mccarthy said he reached out to congressman conol

was thrilled. let me ask about that question i posited there about i mean he you did force accountability and then he did it again, the exact same things theth jury held him liab for beforey he did it again on national television. is that just the way it has to be? do you think that could be actionable sphif you were to file another suit? would it work the same way? it s definitely actionable. and here the cruelty will make him less wealthy. he s not going to get away with it for another time. it s unprecedented held liable for defamation to keep doing the defamation. suffice to say i have a lot of lawyers very busy looking into this, and we are weighing all of our options. you also have another live case from the time when he was president and he was stating these same untrue things about
