I am no legal genius, but isn't this whole thing defaming Carroll, again?

Many states have a form of litigation privilege that effectively says "things you say in court documents can't be considered defamatory." But don't know the extent to which those apply here.

The things he says in the Court filing cannot be defamatory. But Trump will absolutely repeat things outside of court that will not be privileged.
