NEW: E. Jean Carroll tells TODAYshow that she is 'overwhelmed with joy' for women across the U.S. after Trump was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming her.
Carroll, 79, said in an interview with NBC News' Savannah Guthrie on"TODAY" Wednesday morning that the court win was not about the millions she was awarded in damages but securing a victory for all women.
A Trump campaign spokesman said in a statement Tuesday:"This case will be appealed, and we will ultimately win."Carroll was alongside her lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, who said she was confident that her client will collect the damages from Trump and that his team has no grounds for an appeal.Kaplan said there was"no question" the jury was sending a message by awarding multi-million dollar damages and reaching a verdict in a matter of hours.
Asked what she would say to Trump if she could, Carroll said she approached his attorney, Joe Tacopina, at the conclusion of the case and let him know. Carroll sued in Manhattan federal court last year, alleging Trump raped her in the dressing room of a Bergdorf Goodman department store near his Fifth Avenue home in 1995 or 1996. She first went public with the claim in 2019 in her book “What Do We Need Men For? A Modest Proposal.”
