'What penalties?' Trump confused when asked about campaign funds to pay E. Jean Carroll

Donald Trump on Wednesday dodged a question about whether he would use campaign funds to pay the more-than-$80 million jury award for columnist E. Jean Carroll, instead asking, "What penalties?"

The former president was asked about using his political operation's money to pay the debt in that case as well as the civil fraud suit, but he appeared totally confused. Instead of replying, he asked about the penalties. When the reporter clarified, Trump appeared to still not understand, because he began ranting only about the civil fraud penalties he is expecting any minute from Judge Engoron in New York.

"I didn't do anything wrong," he said. "That's been proven as far as I'm concerned."

Trump then claimed that the case was "largely won" in the court of appeals.

"We won that case," he reiterated. Prosecutors are seeking more than $350 million in that case.

The reporter again mentioned the Carroll suit and asked about the campaign funds, and Trump replied, "That's a ridiculous case."

The ex-president didn't answer about whether he intended to use campaign funds to pay his court-ordered debts.
