Put in a bid for 15m on border fence materials … watch heads explode.
For a broke guy, he sure does make money hand over fist.
People need to be personally liable for things they say. I’d wanna know how much of that ol George had to pony up personally.
Just like cops that violate the law: this behavior won’t change until they have to pay out of pocket.
Good on him. “Found liable for rape” had and always will be that much nonsense.
shows what a stupid lying farce the whole EJean thing is. But enough about what is obvious
But they had to bankrupt Rudy for saying something.
Heard on the news that he is going after other people and media outlets as well.

I can’t wait to hear how much the Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis, Jack Smith and complicit weaponized judicial systems are liable for?

Defamation is hard to prove. George had to know he was telling lies, and they could prove it. Or else he wouldn’t be settling.
Stephanopoulos was adamant he would not back down from his comments, even going so far as to tell late-night host Stephen Colbert he would not be “cowed out of doing my job because of a threat.”
“Trump sued me because I used the word ‘rape,’ even though a judge said that’s in fact what did happen,” Stephanopoulos said in May. “We filed a motion to dismiss.”
Trump was not found liable for rape, but federal Judge Lewis Kaplan wrote in a ruling that although Carroll failed to prove those accusations, it does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her, as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape.’”
The lawsuit comes after Trump sued Stephanopoulos for comments he made claiming the president-elect had been found liable for rape.

Yeah that’s a brain dead ruling that’s par for the weaponized court system….
She failed to prove he raped her, but he did it because the judge said so.
I doubt he suffered anything near that in financial damage. Didn’t phase anyone here lol.
