Abstract
Faced with a legal defeat in the civil suit by writer E. Jean Carroll finding him liable for sexual abuse and defamation, former President Donald Trump is now countersuing Carroll, claiming that her own characterization of his assault as "rape" is also defamatory since the jury only declared it to be sexual abuse. Professor Roth quote in "‘Splitting Hairs’: Ex-prosecutor Says ‘Very Little Leeway’ for Trump to Claim E. Jean Carroll Defamed Him" by Matthew Chapman.
