No sooner was a decision announced that Donald Trump was liable for defamation against E. Jean Carroll than the former President re-defamed her live on CNN. E. Jean Carroll has now filed an amended complaint, in a separate suit, based on Trump’s continued barrage. David Remnick asks Carroll and her lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, whether anything can make Trump stop. Plus, Rob Marshall, the director of Disney’s new version of “The Little Mermaid,” talks with Naomi Fry about the challenges of making the film, including racist carping about the casting of a Black mermaid: “It was never, Let’s do a woke version of ‘Little Mermaid,’ ” Marshall says. And, with the Disney-hater-in-chief Ron DeSantis finally announcing his campaign for the Presidency, the reporter Dexter Filkins discusses his rise to power in Florida.
