E. Jean Carroll Breaks Her Silence on Defeating Trump in Court

How one brave woman, one brilliant lawyer, and the truth beat Trump—twice.

By Ben Meiselas

I just had the honor of sitting down with E. Jean Carroll and her extraordinary attorney Robbie Kaplan for an unforgettable interview.

This wasn’t just a legal war story. This was about courage, persistence, and justice in the face of relentless lies and abuse of power. E. Jean Carroll took on Donald Trump in federal court not once, but twice. And she won both times. Trump threw every dirty trick in the book at her, from invoking government immunity to waging a public smear campaign to trying to delay the inevitable with his usual procedural garbage. It didn’t work. Not against E. Jean. Not against Robbie.

And now, E. Jean is breaking her silence with us and releasing her new book, Not My Type: One Woman vs. a President. It’s hilarious. It’s powerful. And it’s essential. She paints Trump exactly as he is—a pathetic fraud in bad makeup who moans, groans, and yes, farts his way through court. But beneath the humor is a woman who was traumatized by a predator and still found the strength to fight back and win.

We spoke about the deposition, where Trump confused a photo of E. Jean with his ex-wife Marla Maples after being warned three times it was coming. Because the truth isn’t blurry, even when Trump pretends it is.

I also asked whether more legal action could be coming, especially after Trump doubled down on his defamatory lies post-verdict, including that repulsive CNN town hall where he turned sexual assault into a punchline for MAGA applause. The answer? All options are on the table.

So what’s the message here? That Trump can be defeated. That liars and abusers can be held accountable. And that even in this chaotic moment, truth still matters. E. Jean’s story is proof that if you stay the course and don’t back down, you can take on the most powerful man in the world and beat him. Twice.

If you care about justice, if you care about democracy, if you care about fighting back against the most dangerous threat to this country, check out this interview and read E. Jean’s book. Share her story. And remember: Trump may lie, cry, and whine—but the truth doesn’t flinch.

This interview will be released soon on the MeidasTouch Podcast as well—so make sure you add the show on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so you don’t miss it.

I couldn't disagree more. Kamala Harris had EVERYTHING a great president need: a strong moral compass, more experience than any of the last FOUR presidents upon being sworn in, an incredible work ethic, and a passion for improving people's lives through real, democratic, step by step change.

And even a merely average candidate would have been incredibly better than handing over DC entirely to a neofascist GOP.

So no, your idea is utterly absurd, and a big reason explaining how we got here in the first place!

Elena Freshman Schumann's avatar

You are living in an alternate reality. Personally I thought Kamala was fine, but I knew she would NEVER BE ELECTED. And guess what: KAMALA LOST TO DONALD TRUMP OF ALL PEOPLE! If she was so good she would have won, it is what it is, you are not in charge.

EUWDTB's avatar

Absurd. With 200,000 more votes in the three blue wall swing states, SHE would have been present today. And it could well have been that with a different type of weather, 200,000 more people would have come out. And democracy ITSELF was at stake.

Remember, in a democracy, "we the people" always get the government we deserve. Refuse to fact-check and inform yourself? You'll end up with an immoral criminal installing fascism. No one else to blame than you...

I am well aware of the Electoral College rules, I had to know them to get my Poli Sci degree. I have been an advocate of abolishing the electoral collage though I am not sure that pure popular vote so replace it. The point is I knew what the rules were before the election and I knew under the CURRENT RULES NOT SOME MADE UP PIE IN THE SKY RULES THAT MAY APPLY SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE, KAMALA WOULD LOSE. I was of course, totally correct. KAMALA LOST UNDER THE CURRENT RULES OF ELECTING PRESIDENT AS I CORRECTLY PREDICTED!

You think? Are you still believing everything you are told? Please grow up and stop talking about being the 'most powerful' It's rubbish. You have no idea, for instance' just how powerful China is. They never talk about it. That is Power!!

Americans have been rushing around forever saying how powerful they are how they have won wars - actually they haven't yet. They helped in the end with WWII, but it wasn't just them at the end, the ANZACS - AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND AND CANADA ALONG WITH SCOTS, WELSH AND ENGLISH THE FRENCH - ALL BATTLED THE FINAL MONTHS America did not win that war on their own either.

Has it ever occurred to you, when you run around blowing your trumpet why other countries do no do this?

Other countries, who have been around for centuries know the shame of war.

The loss of life on both sides due to their wretched leaders is always appalling. Men are killed by men on both sides who have families and people depending on them. There is no pride to be taken in war.

Our soldiers are there to do a job and they do it well, but they do not go around boasting. You believe you won the war because you have no idea just how many other people fought alongside you, they don't tell you.

Think about that.

He did not. First of all, trade across the border continues. Traveling continues. So the border isn't closed at all. Secondly, Biden already stopped all illegals from coming in, after the GOP once again refused to tackle the very cause of the problem and pass a bipartisan border security bill and executive action remained the only option.

Meanwhile, we know that 50% of fentanyl comes in through LEGAL entry points, in cars driven by AMERICANS. The Biden-Lankfort bipartisan bill would have provided border patrol agents with the tech devices needed to catch them all. Instead, Trump sends... the military, in other words, people who are now missing out on crucial trainings needed to defeat foreign armies and who are falling asleep at the border, doing work they weren't trained to do. It's one big mess. And that's EXACTLY what the GOP wants.

The Orange Cheeto and the American Economic Collapse: Depression and Unemployment

Fortune magazine reports that almost 25% of the American work force is functionally unemployed https://bit.ly/4l9CX2B Those are Great Depression numbers, folks!!

Der Fuhrer and his clown show Nazi regime represent the trigger that will push an already recessed economy toward collapse much worse than the 2008 Lehman crisis The reason for this is Cheeto’s ridiculous tariff policy which almost all economic experts agree is an abomination Even the Murdoch owned Wall Street Journal sees the writing on the wall

Cheeto lied to the electorate so he could keep his ass out of jail and the American electorate believed him Now with far right radical henchmen JD Vance and Curtis Yarvin, supported by billionaires like Thiel and Musk, Cheeto is consciously or unconsciously taking a wreaking ball to the economy As Vance has said, “private businesses have to feel the pain” and his compadre Yarvin feels that Americans “need to get over their dictatorphobia” And with voter suppression laws like the SAVE act and strategies like vigilante challenges by Nazis as happened in 2024, the democratic government may be on its last leg

Actually what may be ironically the saving grace for the American democracy is that the Nazis piss off the electorate so badly with the destroyed economy that there will be a Revolution 2.0 that will throw the Nazis out of power

See Macleod explain this in terms that most people can understand and how to protect yourself https://bit.ly/4jPDaI5

The "kidnapped immigrants" are being returned to their countries of origion on planes. By the way that is in the news every day or maybe you do not read the news?, Trump does not want them, Do not you get It??? Sure they could come back but they often paid a lot of money to get here and it would take quite a while to earn that money back. Some do earn that money back and come back, some do not. People are being murdered in China on a scale worse than what the Nazi's did, if you want to do something you should help them or maybe they do not count because the people being murdered are ethnically Chineese. They are being murdered because they believe the faith of Islam, that is the only reason. The Arab Musliums do not seem to care about Asian Musliums. WHY NOT, ask them but again if you want to help someone help them, every life is precious even ASIAN lives.

Elena Freshman Schumann's avatar

WAIT you have a point. MANY are being returned, on planes and busses and some come back and some do not. However, are they ALL being returned to their home countries???? Honestly I do not know. Do you know??? If you know something is going on that should not be going on , I would suggest you notify the ACLU or an immigrants rights organization and let them know what you know that the government should NOT be doing. One of the reasons why the 3rd Reich got away with killing ELEVEN MILLION PEOPLE, six million of which were Jews, is because the general population did not care what was happening to Jews and other undesirables (homsexuals, disabled, mentally challenged, gypsys and others) who were being taken away to be murdered.

Trump mixed up the identification of that picture because he was too vain to wear his reading glasses. There's no way Trump can see both distance and near at the same time without optical help unless he has monovision (one eye emmetropic, the other myopic), and I saw a picture of him on Air Force One wearing half eye readers, so I don't think he has monovision. He's just too vain to be seen wearing readers, just like he's too vain to admit he's bald and does that ridiculous comb over and too vain to look his age and wears orange makeup, and too vain to admit he's obese and wears his ties into his crotch.

I applaud your interview and if only our own had the moxy that she had before he got in and that's before the madness with our own supreme court while the dems still had congress further biden wasn't so passive ,well he'd never been allowed to run and should be in jail.now he's on the most revengeful, more than extreme predjudice course of destruction .I thought by her winning would set the pace for all women to vote against this creep scum bag and have a louder voice and here we are being blessed by meidas fighting harder than all of us .

Ben, such a great interview with

E. Jean and Robbie ❤️ I decided on the audiobook so I can hear E. Jean read it in her own words.

I know $ is tight for some people right now, so if you can’t afford to purchase a copy, ask your local library to add it to their collection. They will also purchase and add the audiobook if people request it!

I love her and her story. So happy you had the opportunity to talk to her and share it with us. I have a request - please do not send business to Amazon. You can buy her book at bookshop.org, which raises $$ for local bookstores - you pick which one you want to support! Here's the link to her book: https://bookshop.org/p/books/not-my-type-one-woman-vs-a-president-e-jean-carroll/22763054?ean=9781250381682&next=t

E. Jean is a character. It takes a brilliant, funny, classy lady to beat this turd.

I'm not surprised he shit on Alina Habba, that he farts, spits and whines. There were reports that he smelled at the G7.

He physically embodies what a gross human being he is. Sorry fellow humans.

Heroic E Jean Carroll and Robbie Kaplan definitely have a place in my heart, Trumps depravity know no bounds, He is a pathological liar and not only a predator, but a killer through so many of his policies.

I have such respect for both women for standing up to trump and the system the way thay they did. I'm sure that was not an easy task given his history, his ability to lie like it's FIRST nature, and the money backing him. Justice was truly served. When you have someone like trump freely admit on more than one occasion (publicly I might add) that when you're HIM you can just grab women by the p*ssy, kiss them, touch them, whatever you want and they let you .... even when they don't LET you, he isn't someone who will take no for an answer. And he has spent a lifetime lying and litigating himself out of sticky situations. I don't doubt there are more victims like E Jean out there who were paid off or too scared to do what she did. I hope she gets every penny she was awarded.

E. Jean and Robbie.

You encourage other women to defend themselves against these violent monsters. Your bravery is admirable. Your courage is contagious. Thankyou for standing up for all women.

So happy you bought this evll coward to justice. I hope he cries when he writes that cheque and everyday for the rest of his miserable life.

Please know most Americans did NOT vote for this nasty, evll rap!st. Musk rigged the election so trump could steal the presidency, so they could both stay out of prison, where they belong. They've both admitted it numerous times on film. See Election Truth Alliance and Smart Elections for verifiable data and proof. Also podcasts by Jessica denson - lights on and Claire Jacobus.

Donald Trump made the statement "she's not my type" in June 2019, specifically referring to E. Jean Carroll, an advice columnist who accused him of sexual assault. Trump made this comment during an interview with The Hill at the White House. He added to this by saying, "Number two, it never happened". 

And… “Specifically, in October 2022, during a deposition, Trump was shown a photo from the late 1980s that included himself, his then-wife Ivana, Carroll, and her then-husband John Johnson. “

Kudos to E.Jean Carroll for her courage and persistence! Jessica Denson is another strong woman who beat Trump in court having his campaign NDA’s nullified due to the ridiculous nature and scope of them. I think “2-week Taco” is finally succumbing to all the well-deserved negative attention. Hopefully it won’t be long before impeachment/removal and we’ll-deserved jail time🤞(or 25th amendment)

Democrats need to start reading excerpts live, preferably on CNN and the like but I don't even know if they're trying to. Maybe Mayor Pete can read a chapter and post every day. I'm serious. A lot of people may not be able to buy it or aren't readers but might want the truth. It can't hurt to get it out into the ether.
