Donald Trump’s refusal to acknowledge the harm he did to writer E. Jean Carroll is on brand for the former president and serial liar. At a press conference on Friday, Trump posed in front of the (fake) gold walls of Trump Tower while flanked by second-rate lawyers and proceeded to defame the woman who has already triumphed in two court cases against him.

First, he denied: “She made up a story, fabricated 100%, that I attacked her.”

Then he dodged: “I would have had no interest in meeting her in any way, shape or form.”

Then he deflected: “Her favorite show is Law & Order. There’s an almost exact story as her story in Law & Order about being attacked in the dressing room of a department store.”

It was odd to see Trump spewing that Law & Order narrative since it failed to sway the jury when then-Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina presented it in court. Instead, the jury voted unanimously to find Trump liable of sexual abuse and awarded Carroll $5 million in damages.
