Trump doubles down on a losing hand in E. Jean Carroll's rape case

[marmar]

(Salon) This week, Donald Trump and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg offered us a tale of two citizens and the law. Bragg played a losing legal hand smartly. Trump? Not so much.

Let's start there. In a Manhattan federal courtroom, E. Jean Carroll is suing the former president for allegedly raping her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s. Defendant Trump hasn't shown up, just as he told us he wouldn't.

His purported excuse? Concern for the "financial and logistical burdens" his appearance would impose on New York!

....(snip)....

Here, Trump has reason to fear that he will be on the short end of the verdict in Carroll's case. This is a civil lawsuit, so she only needs the jury to believe that her charge is more likely true than not.

Carroll took the stand on Wednesday and testified that she brought the case "because Donald Trump raped me, and when I wrote about it, he said it didn't happen. He lied and shattered my reputation, and I'm here to get my life back."

....(snip)....

Trump's apparent defense turns on her delay in reporting the alleged assault, but it has a big problem. At the time of the alleged rape, she evidently told two friends about it, and they'll be witnesses. So will two other women who are expected to testify that Trump sexually assaulted them. ................(more)

This is related to the E. Jean Carroll Civil lawsuit trial as the infamous 2005 Access Hollywood tape of TIFG bragging about grabbing women by the p*ssy because "when you are a star, they let you do it." will be played as evidence to illustrate the predictable character of this man.

3. In State court, not Fderal court Salon has it wrong.

She is suing in New York Supreme Court, which is not NYS highest court.

6. "I'm automatically attracted to beautiful -- I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet.

I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything." Trump testified.
