Former President Trump filed a lawsuit against E. Jean Carroll this week, suing for defamation after he says she "falsely" accused him of rape. 

The lawsuit comes after a federal jury in New York City decided last month that Trump was not liable for rape but was liable for sexual abuse and defamation. The former president has been ordered to pay $5 million. Trump vowed to appeal the ruling. 

EXCLUSIVE: TRUMP TO APPEAL VERDICT IN E JEAN CARROLL CIVIL CASE, SAYS HE HAS 'ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA' WHO SHE IS

The former president and 2024 GOP frontrunner’s legal team said E. Jean Carroll "wantonly and falsely" accused Trump on "multiple occasions of committing rape," saying those claims "constitute defamation."

Trump’s lawyers Alina Habba and Michael Madaio filed the lawsuit this week said the rape "clearly was not committed," pointing to the jury verdict last month.

Habba and Madaio said that Carroll’s "repeated falsehoods and defamatory statements" have brought "significant harm" to Trump’s reputation, which has "yielded an inordinate amount of damages sustained as a result."

Habba and Madaio is demanding Carroll "retract her defamatory statements" against the former president; deny all relief and purported damages sought by Carroll; and award Trump "compensatory and punitive damages."

Habba and Madaio also demanded Trump be awarded "counsel fees, costs, and any further relief as this Court may be deem just and proper."

Carroll, 79, alleged that Trump raped her at the Bergdorf Goodman department store across the street from Trump Tower in Manhattan sometime in 1996. According to Carroll, the two had a chance run-in at the store, where Trump was shopping for a gift for "a girl." She said he asked for her advice, and the two shopped together before he pushed her into a dressing room and assaulted her. Trump and his legal team insist that Carroll's allegations are fabricated, with the former president's initial reaction including an accusation that Carroll was motivated by wanting to sell copies of her book.

In an exclusive interview last month just after the jury delivered the verdict, Trump told Fox News Digital that he has "absolutely no idea who this woman is."

"This verdict is a disgrace," he told Fox News Digital. "It is a continuation of the greatest political witch hunt in history."

Meanwhile, Carroll has a second defamation suit against Trump that will go to trial early next year.

A British man vacationing in Jamaica died after trying to drink 21 cocktails on a bar's menu, according to reports out of the UK.

Timothy Southern, 53, of Staffordshire, England, was on vacation with his family in May 2022 in Saint Ann, Jamaica, when he met two Canadian women at a bar trying to complete a 21-drink challenge to celebrate a birthday, according to ITV News.

Southern had been drinking brandy and beer prior to taking up the challenge, according to an inquest.

He joined the women and managed to have 12 drinks before returning to his room at the Royal Decameron Club Caribbean, where he later died.

His family has since criticized the medical treatment he received when they first realized he was ill. 

"He was on his back choking. I put him in the recovery position and screamed for an ambulance," a family member said, according to an inquest reported by ITV. "He was making a gurgling sound. As soon as he was in the recovery position he vomited. I was shouting his name with no response.

"When the nurse arrived I said had an ambulance been called and she said 'no'. I thought she would take over. But that was not the case. I noticed he was starting to lose temperature. I checked his pulse and couldn't find it," the family member continued. 

The nurse reportedly told the family remember that Southern still did have a pulse, and the family member started "to lose it" over witnessing Southern's reported treatment.

"I got a full look at his face and I thought he had passed away. I said, 'Don't just sit there looking at him, start CPR'. She only gave him chest compressions. Maybe if she had known what she was doing, maybe he would still be here."

"The service and treatment he received was disgusting," the family member continued in their comment to the inquest, according to ITV News.

A pathologist in Jamaica's capital of Kingston ruled that Southern died from "acute gastroenteritis due to alcohol consumption." The inquest into Southern's toxicology report, however, could take up to three years before it makes it to the UK, according to ITV News.
