Donald Trump’s has ranted on Truth Social that E Jean Carroll’s defamation case against him is a “made up and disgusting hoax” after complaining that it is he who deserves compensation for reputational damage, not her.

The former Elle magazine columnist accused the Republican in 2019 of sexually assaulting her in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s, for which Mr Trump was found liable last year.

She is now suing him again over his denial that the incident ever took place.

“I’m here because I was assaulted by Donald Trump and when I wrote about it, he said it never happened. He lied. And he shattered my reputation,” Ms Carroll testified in New York on Wednesday.

Judge Lewis Kaplan at one point threatened to remove Mr Trump from court yesterday for commenting as she spoke, to which the presidential candidate responded bitterly: “I would love it.”

Ms Carroll will return to the stand on Thursday as the trial resumes without Mr Trump in attendance, after he returned to Florida for his mother-in-law’s funeral following a short stop-over for a rally appearance in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, last night ahead of next week’s primary.

Show latest update 21 minutes ago Truth Social: Trump again rubbishes E Jean Carroll case after returning to Florida for mother-in-law’s funeral

The Don has announced his temporary return to Florida for the funeral of his mother-in-law, Amalija Knavs, reporting that he will be back on the campaign trail in New Hampshire on Friday.

That means he won’t be back in New York today as E Jean Carroll resumes her testimony.

Speaking of Carroll, Trump has also repeated his familiar denials about her accusations, calling the whole affair “a made up and disgusting hoax”.

Elsewhere, he has reiterated his demand for absolute presidential immunity (in all-caps) and attempted to pressure House speaker Mike Johnson into standing firm in pursuit of a complete border shutdown.

51 minutes ago Trump claims you need ID to buy bread in rambling New Hampshire rally address

Fresh from his tetchy appearance sitting in on E Jean Carroll’s testimony in New York, Trump was back out on the rally circuit in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, last night, drumming up votes ahead of next Tuesday’s Republican primary.

It was the usual rambling mess of pet grievances and wounded victimhood, a few highlights of which follow.

2 hours ago Capitol Police probing remarks allegedly made by Roger Stone

The Capitol Police are reportedly investigating alleged remarks made by Roger Stone calling for the assassination of a pair of Democratic lawmakers.

Mr Stone allegedly told a former NYPD police officer who worked for him, Sal Greco, that Congressmen Jerrold Nadler and Eric Swalwell needed to “die” before the 2020 election.

The conversation was captured in an audio recording, which Mediaite obtained and published last week.

4 hours ago Iowa caucuses: Trump crushes GOP rivals

Eric Garcia writes:

Three years ago, in the wake of the Capitol riot and with his second impeachment under way, Donald Trump’s political future looked over once and for all. But Republicans, led largely by Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, voted to acquit him, all but giving him permission to continue his dominance in the Republican Party.

Now, after a devastating win over his rivals in the first contest on the road to the White House, he once again holds the Grand Old Party in the palm of his hand. But even in his moment of victory, with some polls suggesting he could defeat Joe Biden in November, he had a stark reminder of the legal dangers facing him this year as he returned to a New York courtroom for just one of the cases he is embroiled in.

The Iowa caucuses officially kicked off the 2024 presidential contest in resounding fashion when the former president overwhelmingly won the contest in the Hawkeye State.

6 hours ago Analysis: Trump’s election lies are thriving. His GOP rivals aren’t challenging them

Donald Trump’s supporters continue to adopt his bogus narrative that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him, with nearly 70 per cent of his Iowa caucus voters falsely believing President Joe Biden was illegitimately elected.

Asked whether they believed President Biden was legitimately elected to the presidency in 2020, more than two-thirds of Iowa caucus goers said no, according to entrance polls from last night’s caucuses.

That includes 69 per cent of Iowa caucus goers who supported Mr Trump. Only 11 per cent of his supporters in Iowa believe the president was legitimately elected.

8 hours ago Maga lawmaker reacts angrily after being called out over Trump family separation scandal

Maga Republican lawmaker Anna Paulina Luna lashed out at an immigration expert after he laughed at her defence of the Trump administration’s policies of separating migrant children from their parents.

During a House of Representatives hearing on Wednesday, Ms Luna contested that the policies had inflicted psychological trauma on the children.

Responding to Cato Institute immigration expert David Bier, she said: “You talk about intentional trauma and that the Trump administration caused intentional trauma by separating these children from their quote-unquote ‘parents’.

“The fact is, is that… you don’t know what these people are like.” Ms Luna then paused to ask: “Mr Bier why are you laughing?”

A Democratic lawmaker has filed a formal censure for GOP Congresswoman Elise Stefanik after she referred to jailed Capitol riot convicts as “hostages.”
