As Donald Trump’s legal perils continue to mount from every conceivable direction, bombshell new reporting from The Daily Beast now reveals that the corrupt ex-president is now set to soon face a new lawsuit from world-renowned journalist and alleged Trump victim E. Jean Carroll, accusing him of sexual battery under a new sexual violence survivor law.
The bombshell impending lawsuit stems from an alleged assault hailing back to the 1990s when Carroll claims Donald Trump, the man who would go on to be the president of the United States, violently raped her in the fitting room of the Bergdorf Goodman department store. The sexual battery suit will serve as an escalation of the previous litigation that the longtime notable advice columnist already has against the now former president.
Jose Pagliery with The Daily Beast reports on the new development, “In an August letter to a New York federal judge that was just made public Tuesday, Carroll’s lawyer notified the court that severe legal action was on the horizon. The issue was brought up in court filings related to Carroll’s current lawsuit against the former president. She sued Trump while he was still at the White House, claiming she was defamed when Trump said the journalist’s revelations in her memoir were lies, adding a piggish line about how ‘she’s not my type.'”
Carroll already maintains an ongoing defamation lawsuit against Donald Trump for his relentless attack on her character following her decision to go public with the allegations, with Trump (as he always does in these situations) claiming that his alleged victim was nothing more than a liar whom he’d never even met.

The Beast goes on to report:
Roberta A. Kaplan, the journalist’s lawyer, explained in her letter to the judge that Carroll is now preparing to file a separate lawsuit under New York’s Adult Survivors Act ‘on the earliest possible date,’ which is Nov. 24. Kaplan also explained that Trump—as he has done in nearly every court case of late—is refusing to turn over court-mandated evidence. Trump ‘remains unwilling to produce any documents in discovery,’ not ‘a single document,’ Kaplan wrote. That’s why, she said, Trump should be dragged into a room for a deposition that will question him under oath — an embarrassing exercise that could elicit damning information from the former president. And given that it’s a civil case, any question Trump refuses to answer can be interpreted in the worst light possible — even as an admission.”
Over the course of his 76-year life, Donald J. Trump has stood credibly accused of rape, sexual assault and/or harassment, and sexual violence by more than two dozen women. Carroll’s impending new sexual battery lawsuit will join the ever-growing list of scandalous lawsuits and investigations that Donald J. Trump currently stands as the subject of — including probes into his family company, his 2020 election lies, the January 6th Capitol riot, and the theft of highly-classified documents that were seized from his Mar-a-Lago estate last month.
