Trump Tries to Derail Rape Defamation Trial With Indictment Excuse

filed a motion asking for a month-long “cooling off” period before the defamation trial begins and jurors are selected. Going forward with the scheduled April 25 trial date, he argued in the court filing, would “guarantee” that potential jurors “will have the criminal allegations top of mind.”

But Carroll’s lawyers hit back in a motion filed Wednesday urging Judge Lewis Kaplan to stick to the scheduled trial date. “The Constitution does not excuse Trump from standing trial on a sexual assault claim just because the national media has once again revisited longstanding reports about his assorted extra-marital affairs,” Carroll’s attorney Robert Kaplan wrote.

Carroll alleges that Trump raped her in a New York department store in the mid 1990s and then defamed her when he called her allegations aand denied that he had ever known or met her in a 2022 Truth Social posting and statement distributed to the press. Trump has denied the allegations. Kaplan noted that Trump’s attorneys had filed their motion complaining about coverage of the trial “less than two hours” after their client appeared onand mentioned the case. In a dig at the Trump campaign’s fundraising off of the criminal case, Carroll’s attorneys noted that “the first seven items in his political campaign’s store include fake mugshots from the Manhattan DA indictment.”

In his filing, Tacopina said that waiting a month provided a “window” before the early August deadline for filings in his criminal case, which could produce a jury that is “far more likely to be impartial than the one recently inundated with prejudicial media coverage” of Trump’s criminal case.

Crazy that the rolling stone used to report on relatively important stories….. now it’s just hit pieces as distractions.

Judge will grant this motion. Trump isn’t getting delays here

He can duck and dive because he has something to hide but at the end of the day he's gonna pay
