Legal expert: 'Prepare for a plaintiff’s verdict' as Trump’s sole witness in rape trial drops out
Donald Trump will not be testifying at trial in the rape and defamation case brought against him by journalist E. Jean Carroll, his attorney told the judge on Tuesday, and now, both the plaintiff’s and defendant’s attorneys have just announced the ex-president’s sole scheduled witness will also not be testifying in the civil case.
According to one legal expert, Carroll will likely win.
“Trump’s expert witness will not be testifying, Carroll’s lawyer Roberta Kaplan just said in court. That leaves the ex-president with no live witnesses on his list,” reports Law & Crime’s Adam Klasfeld. He adds that Trump’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, “confirms: No defense case.”
New York Law Journal’s Jane Wester explains, “Donald Trump will not put on a defense case in the E. Jean Carroll case. He was expected to present a single witness, an expert, but that witness is facing health issues, his lawyer Joe Tacopina says. Carroll is expected to finish up her case tomorrow.”[/quote]

The E. Jean Carroll witness decision that could haunt Donald Trump
Should the jury be entitled to hear from any of Trump’s other accusers? That was the weighty question Judge Lewis A. Kaplan had to decide.
| Quote: | By Carol C. Lam, former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of California
On Thursday, E. Jean Carroll officially rested her case. This means a jury in New York City will soon be asked to decide whether Donald Trump raped, and then later defamed, the former magazine columnist and media personality. The general public will draw its own conclusions about the civil lawsuit, a remarkable event not only because Trump is the former president of the United States, but also because he is a presidential candidate once again. But because jurors are instructed to reach their decision only on the evidence they see or hear in the trial, the decisions U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan makes about what evidence comes in — and what does not — are of enormous importance.
This week, the jury heard from four key witnesses likely to be top of mind for the jurors when they begin their deliberations.
This week, the jury heard from four key witnesses likely to be top of mind for the jurors when they begin their deliberations. Two women — Lisa Birnbach and Carol Martin — testified that Carroll talked to them shortly after the attack in 1996 and that her account back then was consistent with her testimony at trial. This evidence is important corroboration of Carroll’s testimony — that is, it was introduced to show that the rape allegation was not a recent fabrication. (Trump has denied Carroll's claims, calling them a “scam.”)
But Judge Kaplan’s more fraught decision was whether to allow Carroll’s legal team to introduce evidence from two other witnesses: Jessica Leeds and Natasha Stoynoff.
Dozens of women have publicly accused Trump of sexual misconduct of some kind, up to and including assault. Trump was never indicted on criminal charges for any of these alleged acts, and the statute of limitations has expired on most of them. (He also claims he has never forced himself on any woman.) The battery (i.e., rape) claims that were in Carroll’s lawsuit were made possible only by a temporary 2022 law that extended the statute of limitations for sexual assault lawsuits. In that sense, it is an alternative means of holding Trump accountable outside a criminal courtroom. Given the unusual situation, should the jury be entitled to hear from any of Trump’s other accusers? That was the weighty question Kaplan had to decide.
He did so in a 23-page opinion. Kaplan ruled that Leeds, who said Trump sexually attacked her when she was seated next to him on a plane, and Stoynoff, a reporter for People magazine who said Trump sexually assaulted her while she was at Mar-a-Lago covering a story, should be allowed to testify.
How Trump's pattern of behavior strengthens E. Jean Carroll's case
MAY 2, 202305:25
So how did events unrelated to the facts in Carroll’s complaint make their way to the jury? Fans of courtroom TV dramas may be wondering, for example, about the probative value of such evidence. Indeed, evidence that a defendant has a “bad character” or might have a “propensity” to commit an offense usually is not permitted at trial, the exception being evidence offered to establish specific aspects of the act, such as a defendant’s motive, intent, preparation or plan. And even then, judges are wary of allowing in too much “other act” evidence for fear that the weight of such evidence would end up being “substantially more prejudicial than probative” and be grounds for a reversal on appeal.
But in this case, Carroll’s lawyers had an advantage. This is a civil case alleging rape, and a federal rule of evidence, passed in 1994, explicitly says that “in a civil case alleging sexual assault, the court may admit evidence that the party committed any other sexual assault.” |

Jury Finds Trump Liable for Sexual Abuse and Defamation
A jury of six men and three women awarded the writer E. Jean Carroll $5 million in damages. Donald J. Trump called the verdict a “disgrace.”

Trump is found liable for sexual abuse in civil trial.
A Manhattan jury on Tuesday found former President Donald J. Trump liable for the sexual abuse and defamation of the magazine writer E. Jean Carroll and awarded her $5 million in damages in a widely watched civil trial that sought to apply the accountability of the #MeToo era to a dominant political figure.
The federal jury of six men and three women returned its verdict shortly after 3 p.m. after deliberating for only a few hours. The jury found that Ms. Carroll had not proved, by a preponderance of the evidence, that Mr. Trump had raped her, as she had long claimed. |

and needless to say the Carroll legal team that got a unanimous verdict in a few hours, the team has noted the day after on the CNN interview trump statements lies are actionable. My guess is they will wait till the first appeal is decided.

Jury instructions in a second E. Jean Carroll lawsuit would be brutal for Trump: legal expert
| Quote: | Should Donald Trump be unsuccessful in appealing his recent courtroom loss to E. Jean Carroll where he was found liable for sexual assault and defamation, a second lawsuit she filed against him that is still pending could end with the judge issuing jury instructions that could seal the deal for another courtroom loss for the former president.
Writing at Above the Law, attorney Mark Herrmann pointed out that another case from Carroll and her attorney Roberta Kaplan is still alive and that Trump's conviction in the recently resolved case could take center stage.
As Herrmann notes, the still open case was remanded back to Judge Lewis Kaplan for additional fact-finding over whether Trump was acting as a government employee when he allegedly defamed Carroll -- which is separate from the defamation case just decided about comments he made after leaving office.
If Trump loses his appeal on the settled case his lawyers can't relitigate the accusations of sexual assault which could play a big part in the new trial unless Trump settles beforehand.

As Herrmann explained, "The judgment at the recent trial (unless reversed on appeal) will be binding, as collateral estoppel, when that second case is tried. (When a court decides an issue between two parties, that decision is generally binding; neither party can relitigate it.)"

"Thus, at the next trial, the judge will tell the jury, more or less: 'I instruct you that Donald Trump committed sexual battery on E. Jean Carroll. You do not have to think about that issue. That has already been decided, and it is a fact. In this case, you must decide only whether Donald Trump’s statements while he was president defamed E. Jean Carroll,'" he predicted before suggesting, "If you thought that defending the recent case against Trump was hard, just imagine the trouble someone would have trying to defend the next case."
He then predicted, "That second case will either be settled or E. Jean Carroll will win at trial, perhaps years from now when that case approaches trial." |

Trump Witness CRUMBLES ON STAND in Criminal Federal Court Hearing

Donald Trump LIVE: Trump loses big legal battle after $10 million lawsuit
| Quote: | Donald Trump saw a federal judge reject his claims that absolute presidential immunity and free speech rights shield him from the defamation claims of a New York columnist.
Writer E. Jean Carroll can continue to press claims that the former president owes her at least $10 million in damages for comments he made before and after she won a $5 million sexual abuse and defamation verdict against him last month, Judge Lewis A. Kaplan said in a written opinion.
Trump tried to have the lawsuit dismissed on grounds that he is entitled to absolute presidential immunity, his statements were not defamatory and that his statements were opinion protected by free speech rights.
But Judge Kaplan said the ex-Commander-in-Chief surrendered absolute presidential immunity as a defense by failing to assert it years ago when the lawsuit was filed.
The lawsuit was delayed until recently as appeals courts considered legal issues surrounding it.
Trump countersued Carroll this week, claiming she has libeled him by continuing to insist that he raped her even after a jury found otherwise.
After a jury returned its verdict last month in Manhattan federal court, Trump made comments on a CNN town hall that prompted Carroll to assert new defamation claims in a 2020 defamation lawsuit. |

Judge rejects Trump claim that jury cleared him of rape: “Jury found Trump in fact did exactly that”
Rejecting Trump's appeal, judge says jury found that Trump "raped" E. Jean Carroll under "common" definition
| Quote: | | "The jury's unanimous verdict in Carroll II was almost entirely in favor of Ms. Carroll," the opinion continued, adding, "The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was 'raped' within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump 'raped' her as many people commonly understand the word 'rape.' Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that." |

Judge Says Manhattan DA Can See Trump’s Rude Rape Trial Deposition
| Quote: | Afederal judge on Thursday decided to give the Manhattan District Attorney exactly what he wants: a video copy of former President Donald Trump’s damning testimony in an unrelated rape and defamation case that was decided earlier this year.
For months, DA Alvin Bragg Jr.’s prosecutors have been trying to get their hands on a taped deposition in which Trump actually said stars like him get away with sexual harassment “unfortunately—or fortunately.”
Although that interview was part of the recent civil case in which Trump was ultimately found liable for sexually abusing the journalist E. Jean Carroll, Manhattan prosecutors have been trying to weaponize his deposition for their own upcoming criminal trial in March 2024—for lying on business records to cover up his sexual affairs.
In state court documents, prosecutors reasoned that his insulting responses about sexual misconduct allegations history is relevant to his alleged criminal scheme of paying off people to keep women silent to avoid public embarrassment.
But Trump’s lawyers tried to block that move, arguing that particular evidence at his rape trial was actually meant to stay secret under a protective order. New York Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan asked the federal judge who oversaw the rape trial to weigh in.
U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan disagreed. On Thursday, he gave Carroll’s lawyers permission to hand it over.
“Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP may comply with the People’s trial subpoena,” he wrote in a court order on Thursday.
The decision means prosecutors can get the tape, but it doesn’t mean they can use it at trial—at least not yet. That decision will be up to Merchan, the state court judge overseeing the Manhattan DA’s case, if and how prosecutors can present it to jurors at trial. Merchan will decide if Trump’s comments about women and sexual relations are relevant to the criminal case about his false business records and sexual affair coverups.
While the cases are entirely separate, the courtroom scrimmaging shows how the former president is drowning in so many legal headaches that they’re starting to overlap. In a similar fashion, the Manhattan DA’s long-running investigation benefitted the New York Attorney General, who is currently suing Trump over the way he routinely inflated property values to lie to banks and tax collectors. Also, the House Jan. 6 Committee’s expansive examination of Trump’s role in the 2021 insurrection helped fuel the Department of Justice’s indictment of Trump earlier this week.
It’s unclear how exactly Manhattan prosecutors working on the fake business records case will use Trump’s rape trial testimony, which shows him being unapologetic about sexual assault and resorting to misogynistic jabs at the lawyer questioning him.
In the video, Carroll’s lawyer asked the former president about his previous gloating that he could grab women “by the pussy.” Roberta Kaplan asked whether Trump felt that celebrities could get away with it.
“Historically that’s true with stars. If you look over the last million years, that’s largely true, unfortunately—or fortunately,” he said.
Trump later clarified that he considers himself a star. |

Here Are All the Times Donald Trump Has Been Accused of Rape or Attempted Rape
| Quote: | By
Taryn Hillin
PublishedOctober 8, 2016
Comments (20)
Donald Trump’s reputation as a womanizer is well-known. So is his history as a misogynist. But it’s only with Friday’s release of an extremely lewd video, in which the Republican nominee for President can be heard bragging how “when you’re a star” you can do whatever the hell you want to women’s bodies—including “grab them by the pussy”—that the rape accusations leveled against him are finally getting national attention.
In a statement released shortly after the Washington Post published the damning video, Trump dismissed the comments as “locker room banter.” But in light of these charges, the country is taking a closer look at what may be a history of not only sexually violent words but sexually violent actions.
According to legal documents, Trump has been accused of raping a 13-year-old child, raping his ex-wife, and attempting to rape a former business associate. He vehemently denies all of these accusations—and it should be noted anyone can file a civil complaint in court, and a complaint is by no means proof of allegations. That being said, the accusations are chilling.
The first and most famous accusation comes from Trump’s ex-wife Ivana Trump. During a deposition in the ‘90s, Ivana described a harrowing scene in which Trump held her arms back, pulled at her hair, and raped her in a fit of rage. She herself used the word “rape.” The details of the incident were made public in the 1993 book Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump, written by the journalist Harry Hurt III.
Trump denies this incident took place, and before the book hit shelves his lawyers required that it include a statement at the front written by Ivana, in which she walks back her use of the word “rape.”
“During a deposition given by me in connection with my matrimonial case, I stated that my husband had raped me,” the statement said. “I referred to this as a ‘rape,’ but I do not want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense.”
In her statement she added instead that she felt “violated.”
The second accusation of sexual assault comes from a 1997 lawsuit. Jill Harth says she and her romantic partner were working with Trump on a business deal, when The Donald started making unwelcome sexual advances. In a lawsuit filed against Trump, she says he leered at her inappropriately, groped her on several occasions without her consent, and even “attempted rape.”
In her lawsuit, Harth describes a scene in which Trump took her into one of his children’s bedrooms at his Florida estate Mar-a-Lago, threw her against the wall, began touching her all over, and lifted up her dress.
In an interview with The Guardian, Harth says she had to physically prevent him from advancing and shouted out: “What are you doing? Stop it.” Adding, “It was a shocking thing to have him do this because he knew I was with George [her partner], he knew they were in the next room. And how could he be doing this when I’m there for business?”
Trump denies any of this ever happened, calling the allegations “meritless.” While Harth withdrew her lawsuit shortly after Trump settled a separate lawsuit with her romantic partner over a business matter, she stands by her claims. (Harth and Trump had a cordial relationship until recently, when the allegations resurfaced and he denied them. At that point, according to The Guardian, Harth decided to speak out.) She also says Trump’s camp has contacted her on several occasions in an attempt to make her change her story and deny it ever happened. “I said I’m not doing that,” she told The Guardian.
The third case against Trump comes via a recent federal lawsuit filed in June 2016 in the State of New York by “Jane Doe.” In the suit, Doe alleges that Trump raped her back in 1994, when she was just 13 years old. According to legal docs, Doe says she attended parties with Trump and his friend Jeffrey Epstein—a registered sex offender known in the media as the “billionaire pedophile.” Doe, who was trying to become a model, says it was during these parties that Trump initiated sexual contact with her on several occasions and on one occasion allegedly raped her.
According to the suit, Trump tied her to a bed, exposed himself to her and then raped her in a “savage sexual attack.” Doe says she screamed for him to stop at which point he struck her in the face while screaming “that he would do whatever he wanted.” In a statement filed with the lawsuit, Doe says Trump threatened to ruin her life and her family’s life if she ever told anyone about the incident:
Immediately following this rape Defendant Trump threatened me that, were I ever to reveal any of the details of Defendant Trump’s sexual and physical abuse of me, my family and I would be physically harmed if not killed.
The lawsuit also includes a witness statement from a “Tiffany Doe,” who says that, in the ‘90s, she was in charge of recruiting adolescent women to entertain guests at Epstein’s parties—and she personally saw the incident occur.
I personally witnessed the Plaintiff being forced to perform various sexual acts with Donald J. Trump and Mr. Epstein. Both Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein were advised that she was 13 years old.
In her statement, Tiffany Doe also says she witnessed Trump force other minors to perform oral sex on him and witnessed his “physical abuse” on them “when they finished the act.” On Friday, hours before the lewd video of Trump was leaked, a federal judge in New York ordered a December hearing for the case.
According to documents, Trump has denied the allegations, stating “These allegations are not only categorically false, but disgusting at the highest level and clearly framed to solicit media attention or, perhaps, are simply politically motivated. There is absolutely no merit to these allegations. Period.”
Editor’s Note: This story was originally published on July 21, 2016, hours before Donald Trump accepted the Republican nomination for president in Cleveland.

Trump’s Defamation Claim Against E. Jean Carroll Tossed by Judge
| Quote: | (Bloomberg) -- A New York judge tossed out Donald Trump’s defamation claim against E. Jean Carroll, the author who sued him for allegedly raping her in a department store dressing room decades ago.
Trump’s counterclaim against Carroll was dismissed Monday by US District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan, marking the writer’s latest legal victory over the former president.
Trump filed the counterclaim shortly after a jury held him liable for sexually abusing Carroll. The same jury concluded Trump was not liable for rape, but Carroll still won the trial and was awarded $5 million in damages.
The former president accused Carroll of trashing his reputation by continuing to publicly accuse him of rape during a May 10 appearance on CNN, despite jurors concluding a day earlier that his actions during the alleged 1996 assault hadn’t gone that far.
Kaplan said Carroll’s statements about Trump were “substantially true” given the jury’s “implicit determination” — through its sexual abuse finding — that Trump had “digitally raped” her.
“We strongly disagree with the flawed decision and will be filing an appeal shortly,” Trump attorney Alina Habba said in a statement.
Trump’s suit was a counterclaim in a separate 2019 defamation lawsuit Carroll filed against him that is set to go to trial in January.
The case is Carroll v. Trump, 22-cv-10016, US District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).
