On Monday, the federal judge in Trump's NY rape-defamation case ruled again in E. Jean Carroll's favor. The writer is no closer to pocketing the $5 million verdict she won from Trump in May. In a decision Monday, a federal judge in Manhattan tossed out Trump's attempt to counter-sue Carroll for defamation. In those statements, Trump called Carroll a liar, including on June 24, 2019, when he told reporters, "I'll say it with great respect: Number one, she's not my type. "E. Jean Carroll looks forward to obtaining additional compensatory and punitive damages based on the original defamatory statements Donald Trump made in 2019."

LONDON, June 15 (Reuters) - The head of the judiciary in England and Wales will be a woman for the first time in the more than 750-year history of the role, it was announced on Thursday. Sue Carr was formally appointed by King Charles and will take up the role of Lord Chief Justice, which dates back to the 13th century, following Ian Burnett's retirement in October. The 58-year-old qualified as a lawyer in 1987 and was first appointed as a judge in 2009, before becoming a High Court judge in 2013. The title of Lord Chief Justice, created in 1268, is set down in law. However, Britain's justice minister Alex Chalk told the BBC this week the title could be changed depending on Carr's wishes.

E. Jean Carroll, who alleges Trump raped her, sued him for defamation more than three years ago. Carroll filed a second lawsuit in November, adding a defamation claim and accusing him of battery. Five months later, Carroll sued Trump for defamation, alleging he attacked her reputation by claiming she made the story up. Trump won't be able to invoke the Westfall Act in Carroll's second lawsuit, which means at least one of her defamation claims will likely move forward. If the DC Circuit allows Carroll's first lawsuit to proceed, a trial could happen in the next few months.
