Trump news – live: E Jean Carroll filing new Trump lawsuit as ex-president seethes over campaign launch flop

Author E Jean Carroll, who claims Donald Trump raped her in a New York department store in the 1990s, is bringing another lawsuit against the former president accusing him of battery.

Ms Carroll is bringing her case under a New York law that allows adult survivors of sexual assault a chance to file civil suits even after the statue of limitations on an alleged crime has expired. Her new lawsuit also accuses Mr Trump of defaming her with recent social media posts in which he called her a “con job”.

Meanwhile, Mr Trump has been frantically “retruthing” endorsements from far-right followers and fringe conservative figures after his announcement of another presidential campaign met with a lukewarm reception.

Mr Trump gave an uncharacteristically downbeat speech on Tuesday, delivered as more Republicans than ever are calling for their party to move on from him after last Tuesday’s midterms.

Former Vice President Mike Pence has made clear he will not support a Trump return to the White House in 2024, saying he believed the US wanted “leadership to unite” the country.
