AOC May Be In Legal Trouble After…

AOC Faces Legal Backlash Over Trump Tweet

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is facing criticism and possible legal consequences after calling former President Donald Trump a “rapist” on X, linking him to the delay of the Epstein files release. “Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files,” she posted.

Critics quickly pointed out Trump was found liable for sexual abuse—not rape—in the E. Jean Carroll case. “Donald Trump has not been criminally convicted of rape… This is defamation,” one user wrote.

Sen. Mike Lee said, “Even under the ridiculously lenient standards of NY Times v. Sullivan, you’ve managed to incur defamation liability.”

Trump supporters referenced ABC’s $15 million settlement after George Stephanopoulos made similar claims. “I hope you are sued by Trump for this,” Laura Loomer said.

Ocasio-Cortez has not publicly addressed the controversy. Whether Trump will take legal action remains to be seen.
