Donald Trump on Monday once again denied allegations by E. Jean Carroll
that he raped and defamed her, despite facing nearly $90 million in
civil penalties for making similar statements about the writer.

Carroll’s attorney quickly responded that they are closely monitoring Trump’s latest remarks about her — and suggested that a third defamation lawsuit could be in store for the former president.

Trump in an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” claimed that several civil court judgments against him in New York — two of them in Carroll’s favor — will cause companies to leave the state.

“People aren’t moving into New York, because of the kind of crap they’re pulling on me,” he said.

They’re “the most ridiculous decisions,” Trump said, “including the ‘Ms.
Bergdorf Goodman,’ a person I’d never met.”

Carroll has said Trump raped her in a dressing room in the Bergdorf
Goodman department store in Manhattan in the mid-1990s.

“I have no idea who she is, except one thing, I got sued,” he said in Monday’s interview. “From that point on I said, ‘Wow, that’s crazy, what
this is.’”

“I got charged, I was given a false accusation and had to post a $91
million bond on a false accusation,” Trump added, referring to the bond
he secured in recent days to guarantee a judgment in Carroll’s favor.

The interview echoed remarks Trump made about Carroll over the weekend
at a campaign rally in Georgia, where the presumptive Republican
presidential nominee accused her of making “false accusations.”

After the CNBC interview aired, Carroll’s lawyer Roberta Kaplan in a statement obtained by NBC News said, “The statute of limitations for defamation in most jurisdictions is between one and three years.”

“As we said after the last jury verdict, we continue to monitor every statement that Donald Trump makes about our client, E. Jean Carroll,”
Kaplan said.

The lawyer George Conway, a harsh critic of Trump who encouraged Carroll
to file her first defamation suit against him, in a tweet Monday said
the former president had opened himself up to a third lawsuit from the
writer.

And since Trump’s remarks were made on the CNBC show, which is anchored
in Manhattan, Carroll may be able to sue him in the same New York
federal court where she brought her two prior lawsuits, Conway wrote in
that post on the social media site X.

“If she does that, the case would be assigned to Judge Lewis A. Kaplan
as a case related to the earlier two cases that produced $88.3 million
in damages awards,” Conway wrote.
