Former President Donald Trump continued his attacks against the judge overseeing the defamation case against him filed by E. Jean Carroll. Trump criticized the credibility of Carroll and attempted to undermine her claims during a statement to cameras after court proceedings. Carroll is seeking more than $10 million in damages after a previous jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming her, awarding her $5 million.
During his statement, Trump referred to Judge Kaplan as a 'radical Trump hater.' However, legal experts and those familiar with Judge Kaplan's work have described him as apolitical and professional. It is worth noting that federal judges, including Judge Kaplan, serve lifetime tenures and do not need to cater to any political affiliations.
