Former President Donald Trump is now suing the writer who sued him for defamation.

Trump is accusing E. Jean Carroll of defaming him when, after a jury held him liable for sexually assaulting her but not raping her as she initially claimed, Carroll appeared on television and insisted he did rape her.

"In response to that specific inquiry, Counterclaim Defendant disregarded the jury's finding that Counterclaimant did not rape her, and replied: 'Oh yes he did, oh yes he did,'" the lawsuit said.

Trump's counterclaim said Carroll's statements following her successful battery and defamation lawsuit caused "significant harm to his reputation," making him deserving of compensatory and punitive damages.
