LadySkinsFan Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 57 minutes ago, China said: Trump Attorney Attacks E. Jean Carroll On CNN When Asked About Trump Attacking Her at CNN Town Hall Trump attorney Alina Habba attacked E. Jean Carroll when CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked her about ex-President Donald Trump’s attacks on Carroll during a CNN town hall being added to another ongoing rape and defamation case. The hooting, cheering, and laughing crowd at the CNN Town Hall that Collins moderated two weeks ago whooped it up as Trump spent almost four solid minutes mocking and attacking Carroll — whom a jury says Trump sexually abused. That prompted Carroll to add those remarks to another ongoing suit in an amended complaint and request greater damages. On Wednesday morning’s edition of CNN This Morning, Collins interviewed Habba on a number of topics, including the town hall attacks. Habba responded by defending Trump’s right to attack Carroll, then attacking Carroll herself by contrasting her with “real victims” of sexual assault and accusing her of lying in a lengthy response: Click on the link for the rest Guess his lawyer forgot it's a defamation case too. Stupidity runs high in his lawyer group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted June 8, 2023 Author Share Posted June 8, 2023 Trump asks for fresh trial in E Jean Carroll sex abuse case Donald Trump has requested a new trial in the sexual assault civil case brought by E Jean Carroll, according to a new court filing. A Manhattan jury last month found the former US president liable for sexually abusing and defaming the writer and awarded her $5m in damages. Mr Trump failed to appear at the trial, which heard graphic testimony from the former Elle advice columnist about how she was sexually assaulted at the luxury Manhattan department store Bergdorf Goodman in the 1990s. After two weeks of evidence, a Manhattan jury took just over two and a half hours to find Mr Trump liable for the attack and for defaming Ms Carroll by angrily calling the claims a “hoax”. In a new filing on Thursday, Mr Trump’s lawyers claimed the jury’s $2m award for the sexual abuse part of the verdict was “excessive” because the jury found that Ms Carroll had not been raped. They further alleged that Ms Carroll had stated that she did not suffer any mental injury from the assault, a claim disputed at trial by an expert psychiatrist. Mr Trump’s legal team also said the $2.7m award for defamation was “based upon pure speculation.” Click on the link for the full article 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshile Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I get that I’m not a lawyer, so what do I know but I would think when you put on zero defense you don’t really get to ask for a new trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 Judge allows E. Jean Carroll to include Trump town hall remarks in defamation suit As former President Donald Trump was being arraigned in Florida Tuesday on charges related to his handling of classified documents after leaving office, a federal judge in New York dealt him another legal blow. Judge Lewis Kaplan allowed writer E. Jean Carroll to amend a pending defamation lawsuit against Trump to include allegedly disparaging comments he made about her last month after he was found liable for sexually assaulting her. Carroll's amended complaint includes comments Trump made online and in a CNN town hall following the May 9 verdict in Carroll's civil lawsuit. "I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHO THIS WOMAN IS. THIS VERDICT IS A DISGRACE -- A CONTINUATION OF THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME!'" Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform following the verdict.

China Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 E. Jean Carroll’s legal team mocks ‘Trump-branded form of magical thinking’ in scathing rebuttal to new trial request Former President Donald Trump’s effort to land a retrial on the $5 million verdict against him for sexually abusing and defaming E. Jean Carroll received heavy mockery from his courtroom opponent on Thursday. “Trump’s motion is nothing more than his latest effort to obfuscate the import of the jury’s verdict by engaging in his own particular Trump-branded form of magical thinking,” attorney Roberta Kaplan wrote in a scathing, 27-page legal brief. “Once again, Trump has the nerve to claim public vindication from the jury in this case when, in fact, the jury determined that he penetrated Carroll’s vagina with his fingers without her consent and then defamed her last year.” Trump’s lead attorney Joe Tacopina latched onto the discrepancy in his bid for a new trial, arguing that the verdict was inconsistent and the award too high. In his motion, Tacopina noted that sexual abuse encompasses behavior that’s a “far cry from rape,” like groping Carroll’s breasts through clothing. Carroll’s counsel argued that “Trump cannot now demand that damages be based on some imaginary version of events in which he did nothing more than touch Carroll’s breast through her dress.” Click on the link for the full article 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted July 12, 2023 Author Share Posted July 12, 2023 DOJ no longer believes Trump should have immunity from E. Jean Carroll defamation lawsuit The Justice Department has reversed course and said it no longer believes that Donald Trump should be entitled to immunity for his response to E. Jean Carroll’s accusation of sexual assault, allowing the civil lawsuit to move forward to trial in January. The change in position eliminates one legal hurdle surrounding Carroll’s 2019 defamation lawsuit against Trump for statements he made while president, denying her allegation of rape decades earlier, that he didn’t know her, and that she wasn’t his “type.” DOJ lawyers said in a letter to lawyers for Trump and Carroll that “the Department has determined that it lacks adequate evidence” to conclude the former president was acting within the scope of his employment or serving the US government “when he denied sexually assaulting Ms. Carroll and made the other statements regarding Ms. Carroll that she has challenged in this action.” Initially, the Justice Department under both the Trump and Biden administrations said Trump was acting within the scope of his duties when responding to reporters’ questions in 2019 about Carroll’s allegations. That essentially meant that the Justice Department would be substituted as a defendant and the case would likely be dismissed. The case has been held up on appeal over what constitutes the scope of an employees’ duties until a Washington, DC, court provided guidance this spring, sending the case back to the judge. The DOJ was given until Thursday to state its position. Trump’s and Carroll’s lawyers will also have an opportunity to weigh in. In addition, in a separate lawsuit brought by Carroll last year under a New York law allowing a one-year lookback for civil claims involving sexual assaults, a federal jury in May found that Trump sexually abused Carroll in a luxury department store dressing room in the spring of 1996 and awarded her $5 million for battery and defamation. Trump, who is appealing the decision, does not face any jail time as a result of the civil verdict. In light of the developments, the Justice Department said its position had changed.

EmirOfShmo Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Trump suffers another defeat in E. Jean Carroll case as judge makes key ruling against him Senior U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan said Wednesday that writer E. Jean Carroll's second defamation lawsuit against Donald Trump had largely been decided. In a 25-page opinion, Kaplan handed down another defeat for the former president by limiting the trial to damages only. Kaplan said Carroll had proved in the first trial that Trump demonstrated "actual malice." "The trial in this case shall be limited to the issue of damages only," the judge wrote. https://www.rawstory.com/e-jean-carroll-judgment/ 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted September 14, 2023 Author Share Posted September 14, 2023 An appeals court will consider Trump’s presidential immunity claim in sex abuse case A federal appeals court will quickly consider former President Donald Trump’s claim that presidential immunity protects him from being held liable for statements he made in 2019 when he denied that he sexually attacked a New York writer in the 1990s, the court said Wednesday. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan issued an order to say it will expedite the appeal a day after Trump attorney Alina Habba told a three-judge panel of the court that the appeal raised “an important question that will affect the delicate balance between the judiciary and the executive branch for many years to come.” The 2nd Circuit set a schedule for written arguments to be filed within a month. U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan has set a Jan. 15 date for a jury to decide damages in a long-delayed lawsuit brought by the writer, E. Jean Carroll.

LadySkinsFan Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Where does it say in the Constitution that a president has immunity from opening his mouth and spouting defamatory statements about a private citizen?

China Posted November 4, 2023 Author Share Posted November 4, 2023 Donald Trump to face anonymous jury in writer E. Jean Carroll's second trial A federal judge said Donald Trump will face an anonymous jury as it decides how much he should pay E. Jean Carroll for defaming the writer in 2019 by denying that he raped her. U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan said he found "strong reason" to provide special protections for jurors at the scheduled Jan. 16, 2024 civil trial. He cited the former U.S. president's repeated public criticisms of Carroll and the "extensive media coverage" of her case. Kaplan also pointed to Trump's conduct in New York Attorney General Letitia James' civil fraud lawsuit against him, where the presiding judge has fined Trump twice for violating a gag order with comments about his clerk. If juror identities were disclosed, "there would be a strong likelihood of unwanted media attention to the jurors, influence attempts, and/or harassment or worse by supporters of Mr. Trump [and/or by Mr. Trump himself]," Kaplan wrote. Kaplan said the names, addresses and places of employment of prospective jurors will be kept secret. Jurors will also be transported together to and from the courthouse and be looked after by U.S. marshals during breaks in the trial. Neither Carroll, a former Elle magazine columnist, nor Trump, nor anyone else objected to using an anonymous jury, the judge said.

EmirOfShmo Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 More winning for TFG... Donald Trump loses appeal in E. Jean Carroll case, clearing way for defamation trial Former President Donald Trump lost his bid to invoke an immunity defense to E. Jean Carroll's remaining defamation claim on Wednesday, clearing the way for a trial on damages to begin next month in New York. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Trump waived the defense of presidential immunity because he did not immediately invoke it when Carroll first sued him for allegedly defaming her by claiming she fabricated her account of a mid-1990s sexual assault. "This case presents a vexing question of first impression: whether presidential immunity is waivable. We answer in the affirmative and further hold that Donald J. Trump waived the defense of presidential immunity by failing to raise it as an affirmative defense in his answer to E. Jean Carroll's complaint," the decision said. https://www.yahoo.com/gma/donald-trump-loses-appeal-e-155600014.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
