The E. Jean Carroll Interview

<p dir="ltr">As the House finally votes to demand the release of the Epstein files, Gaslit Nation talks to journalist E. Jean Carroll about her new book <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/not-my-type-one-woman-vs-a-president-e-jean-carroll/fb4802f812cba0d7?ean=9781250381682&amp;next=t"> <em>Not My Type: One Woman vs. a President</em></a>. Carroll shares her chilling story of taking on a serial predator, and how to defeat not just Trump but the system that empowers him. </p> <p>Trump owes Carroll $83.3 million in her rape and defamation case against him. But he's decided to drag things out by taking the case to the Supreme Court–which he packed with Republican idealogues. Carroll shares how she became one of the few people on the planet to successfully hold Trump legally liable, her advice for other rape survivors during this dangerous time, and what she thinks is actually in the Epstein files. </p> <p dir="ltr">While the media hyperventilates over Epstein and what Trump may or may not have known, they somehow keep "forgetting" that Trump has already been found liable for rape. In <em>Not My Type: One Woman vs. a President</em>, Carroll shares her story of surviving Trump's vindictive legal war chest with incredible grace, strength, and humor–taking us inside the nihilistic minds of his sychopantic legal team. She describes the thrill of confronting Trump in court with the truth, and describes the crushing cost women pay for daring to take on any man for rape, let alone the President of the United States. </p> <p dir="ltr">Want to hear Gaslit Nation ad-free?
