Marlow: E. Jean Carroll Hopes Her Explosive New Doc Will ‘Finish Off’ Trump; Here’s Why That’s AbsurdAlexander Marlow 7 Sep 2025
“E. Jean Carroll Hopes Her Explosive Telluride Doc Will ‘Finish Off’ Donald Trump”That was a blaring headline in Variety from this past weekend.
It doesn’t matter what is in this documentary or if anyone ever sees it. It will not finish off Trump.
Here is why:
I spent the last year examining the six major “lawfare” cases against President Trump in between his two presidential administrations, and the E. Jean Carroll case was easily the most absurd on its face.
Key details: in 2019, advice columnist and former Saturday Night Live writer E. Jean Carroll wrote an account in New York magazine alleging that Donald Trump sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in 1995. Or maybe it was 1996. She can’t exactly remember. (I regard her inability to remember this detail strike one against her credibility.)
The details of the former gossip columnist’s story are truly stranger than fiction. (Read into my last statement what you will; Carroll has been known to sue for defamation and find endless financial resources to do so.) They are simultaneously maddening and hilarious. I give a full accounting in my New York Times bestselling book, Breaking the Law, but here are key reasons why E. Jean Carroll may get a lot of attention and make a little money, but she will never finish off Donald J. Trump.
