A federal jury in Manhattan on Tuesday found former President Donald J. Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming the writer E. Jean Carroll, who had accused him of rape. In the hours that followed, Mr. Trump continued to criticize the case.

“This is another scam,” Mr. Trump said in a video posted on his Truth Social platform, one of a series of posts that continued into Wednesday morning. “It’s a political witch hunt.”

Mr. Trump said in the video that Ms. Carroll had been financed “by Democrat operatives,” and that “she totally lied about it.”

He appeared to be referring to Reid Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn who has a long history of funding Democratic candidates and causes, and who helped pay for certain costs and fees associated with Ms. Carroll’s lawsuit.

Mr. Trump’s lawyers had accused Ms. Carroll of concealing Mr. Hoffman’s role; her lawyers had argued that the financial support was irrelevant to her legal claims and that she had nothing to do with obtaining it.

Mr. Trump also criticized Judge Lewis A. Kaplan of Federal District Court, who presided over the case, calling him a “terrible person” who was “completely biased, and should have recused himself.”

It was unclear what, if any, repercussions Mr. Trump’s after-action comments might incur.

In the civil trial, which found that Mr. Trump sexually abused Ms. Carroll decades ago, the jury also found that Mr. Trump had defamed Ms. Carroll, and that she was injured as a result of an October 2022 Truth Social post about her, in which he called her case a “complete con job” and “a Hoax and a lie.”

They awarded her $5 million in total damages, of which just under $3 million was related to the defamation.

During the two-week trial, Mr. Trump didn’t testify in his own defense, nor did his legal team call any witnesses. Instead, Mr. Trump continued to attack the case from afar, in an interview on a golf course in Ireland and on Truth Social.

On April 26, the second day of the trial, Mr. Trump wrote on the site that Ms. Carroll’s case was a “scam” and that her allegation was a “fraudulent & false story.”

Judge Kaplan told Joseph Tacopina, a lawyer for Mr. Trump, that his client’s comments were “entirely inappropriate,” and hinted at the possibility of a contempt sanction.

Those April posts have since been deleted.
