A Trump lawyer asks for a four-week postponement in a trial involving E. Jean Carroll because of publicity surrounding the former president’s arraignment last week in a separate criminal case.

In a letter late Tuesday to the judge presiding over the Carroll trial, scheduled to start April 25, lawyers for Trump argued the postponement is needed because of the “deluge” of publicity and “prejudicial media coverage concerning [Trump’s] unprecedented indictment and arraignment.

“Jurors selected to hear Ms. Carroll’s allegations against President Trump will have the breathless coverage of President Trump’s alleged extra-marital affair with Stormy Daniels still ringing in their ears if the trial goes forward as scheduled,” they wrote.to 34 felony charges that he falsified business records to conceal $130,000 in reimbursement payments to his former lawyer Michael Cohen, who had paid off Daniels before the 2016 election.

Pity

Maybe this time she picks an episode of Miami Vice to copy an episode from.

🤣🤣🤣 go get him E Jean.

If the left succeeds in this political harassment of president Trump then that’s it. If the globalist billionaires have a candidate they don’t like they’ll just harass them with nonstop phony law suits. This will drive any challenge to the globalists out of the running despair

No, besides what makes them think more indictments aren't coming soon. She waited long enough.

Donald should have paid her off with a million years ago

'Prison by courts!' This is obviously used to tie Trump up to prevent his presidential road campaign.

Got to run with this story. When will WaPo just admit they are a arm of the democrat party? At some point you’ll maybe get back to journalism again. It’s sad to see where this publication has gone. From actual news to the Enquirer.

Delay, delay, and more delay? 🙄

His problem not hers.

HELL NO

Who in the foooooook is this clown? 🤡

Laughable as Trump had enough time to file ridiculous half-billion dollar suit against his former lawyer. nytimes nypost He's staaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllliiiing MiamiHerald orlandosentinel

She looks a little like Adam Schiff.

gtconway3d Trump’s mouth taints jury pools daily!

FTP, he doesn't need cooling off, it's business as usual and even attending UFC fights! Deny that request!!

Haha it on as scheduled

Like he's going to have no publicity in 4 weeks, and like if he didn't draw so much attention to himself he would have the problem.

No, Donald. No. No. No.

He be indicted in Georgia in a month.

gtconway3d This guy is going to have nonstop indictments for years. Sorry, Trump, you don’t quit criming long enough to let people forget.

gtconway3d Uh, let me think about that for a min...NO

Hell no!!

I knew I'd seen her before

gtconway3d Imagine when the only way to prevent criminal conviction is by being president of a country

gtconway3d Don’t give it to him. He’s had enough time. This poor woman.

It has been delayed long enough.

Heel spurs acting up again.

I thought he said everyone in the state courthouse was crying when he was being booked and arraigned. Sounds like the jury pool should love him

gtconway3d He’s had enough time, charge the rapist already

gtconway3d Oh puuleeeze 🤦🏻‍♀️

Nope. Too many lawsuits as he's a criminal.

Yeah, hard to believe anyone would want to rape this hideous beast.

gtconway3d Lol the one he told Tucker that everyone was crying at Sir, I’m so sorry 😭.

gtconway3d Phuqq 'em...Let's do FO harder and faster...

gtconway3d He will be indicted again before the 4 weeks are up.

allow me to locate my tiniest violin

gtconway3d Cooling off? Trump has had more than enough time to mount a defense.

gtconway3d It’s gonna happen a lot!

gtconway3d Get used to it Donald…… they are coming…..

gtconway3d ALREADY SAID 'NO' THREE TIMES TESTIFY YOUR GUILTY DID YOU GIVE OVER YOUR DNA? RAPIST

What BS.

gtconway3d She has waited long enough !

Whatever.

Who keeps screaming about it, keeping it in the news?

gtconway3d 🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡

gtconway3d Enough of any accommodation or leniency for a criminal …… Let the books be thrown as hard and as fast as can be Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time

gtconway3d No!

Same tactic as “you can’t see my tax returns because I’m being audited.”

gtconway3d Did his arrest and gathering of biometrics include his DNA? Maybe that’s why he’s freaking out.

He will most likely be facing another indictment by then and ask for yet another delay. This is insane, no average person would be allowed to delay as much as TFG.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the coming month is likely to be the quietest time Trump has before he's sentenced.

gtconway3d If they do this for each of his indictments, he will never have to be held accountable.

gtconway3d One case has nothing to do with the other. Trump made his bed. Time to face the music.

Nope

gtconway3d I hope the answer is no.

gtconway3d No way! Just more Trump delay tactics! No!

morgfair

gtconway3d Bullshit.

gtconway3d 'Can we postpone this trial because my client is in trouble in another trial? And probably two more to come?' 😂

gtconway3d Denied.

gtconway3d Screw Trump.

The orange is going down the drain

He shouldn’t get the waiting time!!!

Aka Rich White Nonsense

This should not be granted. All trump does is stall. No other person would be granted such time

TARA REID!

Um who created the overwhelming amount of the publicity in that separate case? I think he created the fire and mow is complaining that it might burn him.

Ewww, I think not.

Will, maybe he shouldn't have stalled for so long. Not even slightly empathetic to his self-included 'plight'.

I think she's waited long enough

Yet another glory seeking person She was proven wrong years ago

Shiiiiiiieeeetttt. Big boy loves all that smoke. I hope the judge gives him a hardcore no. His next reason for delay is bc he has sand in his tru•gina

There will be multiple indictments going on at the same time. It’s what happens when one commits multiple crimes. NoDelays PressOn Justice MultipleCrimes MultipleIndictments SimpleMath

He should have cooled off 27 years ago.

Delaying trial by a month is going to make a difference in coverage & publicity of Trump's indictmentThere's going to be ongoing news, motions, discovery by defense, some of which will probably be leaked, etc. If he gets this delay he'll ask 4 delays on the same basis, forever.

F*** no.

The most litigious person ever wants a break from court 😅🤣

😂😂😂

Any excuse. Need a bunion delay. A publicity delay. A I need a new lawyer delay. A my kid’s sick delay (it is Don Jr). A sleep in delay. And a delay delay.

Criminal CONald for prison ASAP.

I'd give him a 1 day delay...just for fun!

LisamonaNet Traitor Trump makes an appalling mockery out of every single law abiding citizen in America. Every single day. 24/7. Traitor Trump lovers, defenders and supporters, love, support and defend what? It’s demonic.

Criminal needs time because he did too many crimes.

Bestiality

Im about to repost her story every day for 4 weeks and use Trump hashtags. We wont forget about this. We didn't forget about anything this clown did

JFC, what a pathetic criminal he is.

Lolololol

Of course he did---and it will be followed by more of the same!

E. Jean Carroll is a total flake.

Nope

unreal

No delays!!!

Nope!

Thats the woman who said she liked it

continuing to abuse the justice system

Who are these people? What is their problems?

MDomino07 NO. Absolutely not!

By all means throw everything you can at him . But when it comes time to start having everything thrown at you ! Just do not act like we should give a shit about it .

Fuck that. No one told him to be a serial criminal his entire life.

The headline here is that people care more about hush money than an actual sexual assault. Fantastic.

Smart

May be if Trump shut it's mouth, he woulnd't put himself is such trouble. Since he is the sole responsible for that, I would rule out any postponement.

Publicity? He did that with Tucker last night.

The judge should tell the 🍊💩 the singular word his parents probably never told him - NO. TFG needs to finally learn that there are consequences to & for his actions.

Because we can assume that trump will not continue to bellow and make an unmitigated ass out of himself during that ‘extra’ month, right?

Fuck that. He’s out off justice long enough

Translation; they expect more indictments before then, and will eventually try to have this case, completely delayed or thrown out

No more delays!

Please say NO to that request.

But a large orange bird told me everyone in the courtroom was crying over the travesty of justice?!?

NOPE! FK HIM. YOU CAN'T CALL THE SHOTS WHEN UR A CRIMINAL! . . . . . . . . Thinking 🤔 . . . . . . . . . This is the 'Divided States of America' YOU GET WHAT U WANT IF U HAVE $$$$$$$$$

Trump should hire Harvey Specter

I guess this request for a continuance is moot now with the declaration by DT that folks were crying at the courthouse.

local man who thrives on publicity asks for trial delay due to excess publicity

Trump lawyer seeks monthlong delay in trial over rape claimAn attorney for Donald Trump is seeking a one-month delay in the trial regarding a columnist’s claims that Trump raped her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s. Attorney Joseph Tacopina contends that Trump's right to a fair trial depends on a “cooling off” period following the former president’s arraignment last week in a criminal case. The trial for E. Jean Carroll's lawsuit against Trump is set for April 25. In a letter Tuesday to Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, Tacopina cited what he called “the recent deluge of prejudicial media coverage” surrounding Trump’s arrest and court appearance related to allegations that he paid hush money to an adult film star, Stormy Daniels. Well that never happened No. Full effing no. RichardIrmi Trump is always trying to kick the can down the road. Obvious stall tactic. Pretty soon he will claim he can't attend the trial because he's running for office.
