'Keep defaming her': Trump slammed for again attacking E. Jean Carroll at press conference
In a rambling press conference Friday with his lawyers beside him, Donald Trump attacked several of the women who accused him of sexual assault or sexual harassment.
Trump spent Friday morning in the U.S. District Court of Appeals where he was appealing the first decision in several defamation cases.
Among the comments, Trump claimed, "I don't know who she is. She wrote a book and made a ridiculous story up. And she put it in her book. And we're now appealing the decision."

During the deposition for the first trial, E. Jean Carroll's lawyer, Robbie Kaplan, asked Trump about a photo of himself with Carroll, and he misidentified Carroll as his former wife, Marla Maples.
"They say they have a picture from, they say, about 40 years ago, a picture, and the picture, depicts her and her husband on a celebrity line where I was the celebrity where they were shaking my hand with hundreds of people," Trump claimed.
"I have no idea who the woman is," he said again. "And I never met her. Now I don't know about a picture that was taken 40 years ago with husband on a celebrity line so I don't think that counts. But as far as I know, I never met her. I never touched her. I would've had no interest in meeting her in any way, shape, or form."
"She made up a story. Fabricated 100 percent, that I attacked her ... her favorite show is Law & Order. And there's almost an exact story as her story in Law & Order about being attacked in the dressing room of a department store," Trump continued.
As he continued to speak, he attacked the picture again, saying that it "could have been AI-generated." The photo was in the public domain before AI photo generation was readily available.
All of the comments led legal analysts to speculate that Trump could be sued for defamation again after the press conference.
"Keep defaming her, Donald," quipped legal analyst Allison Gill. She was even more shocked once Trump began attacking other women who accused him of sexual harassment.
"Just keep talking," said national security lawyer Bradley Moss.
New York Times "Trump whisperer" Maggie Haberman pointed out that Trump insulted his lawyers as he was flanked by them.
Legal analyst and Trump foe George Conway also noticed the defamation in this Trump comment: "Frankly, I know you're going to say it's a terrible thing to say, but it couldn't have happened. It didn't happen. And she would not have been the chosen one. She would not have been the chosen one."
"Trump doesn't deny that he's capable of sexual assault, just that a woman who is now decades older (he misidentified a photo of her at the time during his deposition as his 2nd wife Marla Maples) wouldn't be his choice," noted former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance. "That's exactly who Trump is. Women are just objects."
