Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said Monday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that he thinks former President Donald Trump is “stupid or crazy” when he continues to claim he doesn’t know E. Jean Carroll. said.
“Bergdorf Goodman is someone I’ve never met, and I have no idea who she is except for one thing,” President Trump said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” . I was sued. From that point on, I was like, “Wow, that’s crazy.” What is this. I have been charged. I was wrongly convicted and had to pay $91 million in bail. ”
“I mean, he had restraint for about a second there,” anchor Jen Psaki said, referring to Carroll’s attorney. I hear that meets the standard for defamation, but if you’re Robbie Kaplan, do you think you should act on that? ”
“It’s certainly possible,” Schiff said. “The jury could certainly conclude that he’s doing this again. And furthermore, that he continues to sentence them like this. The fact that he did that is just further evidence that he knows what he’s doing is wrong. He knows that he defamed someone. That’s cumulatively evidence against him. It increases the number of people who do the same thing, but it also shows that you have to be either stupid or crazy to keep doing the same thing.”
“Or both,” Psaki said.
Schiff said, “Or both, it’s going to cost millions of dollars. But it also shows that no matter what, he’s taking instructions from his lawyer or someone else.” He can’t control himself. You don’t want someone who can’t control their impulses when you’re in the Oval Office and you have your fingers on the buttons in addition to a lot of other things.”
