Ever since a jury found President Donald Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation in 2023, the Republican has vowed vengeance against the woman the court declared he forced himself upon in 1996. The Supreme Court has rejected Trump\u2019s attempt to get the $5 million he owes Carroll overturned, and Carroll is now demanding that Trump pay her without further delay.<\/p>\n

In a new twist, a conservative legal group is attempting to punish the lawyer who successfully defended Carroll.<\/p>\n

\u201c[National Legal and Policy Center] today filed a complaint with the Attorney Grievance Committee (AGC) of the New York State Supreme Court against Roberta Ann Kaplan for violating the Rules of Professional Conduct regarding the outside funding of E. Jean Carroll\u2019s two defamation lawsuits against President Trump,\u201d the NLPC announced on Thursday. \u201cThe lawsuits were funded by left-wing billionaire Reid Hoffman through a nonprofit called American Future Republic.\u201d<\/p>\n

In their complaint, the NLPC claims that Carroll knowingly provided false information when she was asked during a deposition if her legal fees were bankrolled by outside sources. She said she did not, although she later said she made a mistake and her lawyers corrected the mistake as soon as possible. The NLPC also accused Kaplan of a having a \u201ccontingency fee she charged Carroll plus the legal fees she was getting from Hoffman\u201d as being \u201c\u2018excessive fees\u2019 and thus violated New York ethics rules.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NLPC described Hoffman as having \u201ca near-pathological obsession with Trump and had a close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.\u201d It omitted to mention that Trump was close friends with Epstein, a child sex trafficker, for decades and was accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in an encounter that Epstein facilitated. He is confirmed to have partied with Epstein privately, while young women were present, on several occasions.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the complaint noted, it\u2019s not clear Ms. Kaplan informed her client of Hoffman\u2019s association with a sexual convict and his efforts to rehabilitate Epstein\u2019s reputation to get Carroll\u2019s informed consent to use Hoffman\u2019s group to fund her lawsuits,\u201d the NLPC added.<\/p>\n

Ironically, Trump himself has been accused of committing perjury during the case.<\/p>\n

“That was his defense to sexual abuse. She’s not my type,” legal expert Adam Klasfeld explained in May. “And in this deposition, he was shown a picture that he was not aware included E. Jean Carroll, pointed to that picture, and confused her with Marla Maples. So clearly, she was his type. He confused her with his second wife.”<\/p>\n

Another legal expert, Katie Phang, pointed out that it\u2019s revealing that Trump and his supporters are not accusing Carroll of perjury regarding the substance of her claim \u2014 namely, that Trump sexually forced himself on her in a dressing room in 1996.<\/p>\n

“But here’s the thing: you notice how they’re not going after her about the substantive testimony she provided about the sexual assault that she was victimized by Trump, right?” Phang observed. “They’re not going after that. They’re not going after the underlying facts of what she has alleged happened to her at the hands of Donald Trump. That is the tell.”<\/p>\n
