00:00Donald Trump delivered stinging criticisms against writer E. Jean Carroll moments after

00:04his lawyers attempted to overturn a $5 million ruling that he defamed and sexually assaulted her.

00:11I've never met this woman," Trump said in New York on Friday.

00:15It's a made-up fabricated story by someone looking to promote a book.

00:20In May 2023, a jury found Trump was liable for sexual assault and handed him a lofty $5

00:27$3.8 million fine. Trump sat in court as his lawyers on Friday tried to reverse that decision,

00:34one of two in which he was accused by Ms. Carroll of sexual assault and defamation.

00:39He was found liable unanimously by a jury in both cases,

00:43with the second case resulting in an additional $83 million judgment against him.

00:49His denial of the accusations and knowing Ms. Carroll on Friday resemble claims Trump has made

00:54before, which led to the second trial. She has gone around for years saying this story

01:00and it's a total lie, Trump said. This whole thing started, along with just about every

01:06case I've been involved with, with the political campaign of Harris, who's having a bad time,

01:11he said. Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, was quoted by The New York Times as saying,

01:17all options are on the table on whether she would file a new defamation claim.

01:23The hearing in front of a federal appeals court on Friday resurfaced damaging allegations

01:27against Trump as he nears the final stretch of his US presidential campaign.
