Donald Trump will not learn the identities of jurors expected to decide at an upcoming civil trial whether the former president defamed the writer E. Jean Carroll, who also claims Trump raped her.

U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan on Friday rejected Trump's renewed effort to require that prospective jurors provide their names, employment and 38 other pieces of information on written questionnaires.

Trump had argued that his recent criminal indictment filed by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg had brought on a "" that would make it tough to find an impartial jury in Carroll's civil case. While jurors would hear much about Trump even in "normal" circumstances, "the risk of prejudice is even more elevated" because of Bragg's case, Trump's lawyers said.Carroll, a former Elle magazine advice columnist, has said Trump forced himself upon her in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in Manhattan in late 1995 or early 1996.

How ridiculous to even request such thing. Although why not ? That way when he contacts them we can slap jury intimidation charges on him.

It's quite probable that the act of requesting the names in and of itself is an intimidation tactic meant to make jurors feel uncomfortable or paranoid when they learn that their names were being sought after.

Now he wants to temper with witnesses And this is acceptable behaviour? Get A Grip America. This man is a selfish loser........wake up!!🇳🇿

they dont get to pick a jury?

Trump Lawyer: It would be terrible your honor, if something happened to a juror. Or their family. If we just knew their names, we could prevent that from happening. And, you know, uh… take care of them. Monetarily, I mean. Either way, really. Same result. Judge: Hard pass.

Pictured above is Marge Ledbetter, librarian. Upon hearing the news Marge blurted out suddenly, clutching her pearls and looking nervously left & right seemingly frightened someone or some THING was closing in on her. 'Do NOT reveal my name!!'

Here's one⬇️

Why are they not placing a gag order on this man? He would make any juror information public, exposing them to violence and threats.

Asking for the names is intimidating. The jurors know they could be in jeopardy from insane trump supporters after the trial.

Probably a reversible error.

Eww! He tried that?!

Oooh tRump wants whaaat ? So he can lean on em with threats or get his MAGA Lunatics to bestow violence against m

What the actual fuck? INNOCENT PEOPLE DO NOT BEHAVE LIKE THIS!

He’s a menace to society

Insane behavior

He can only want names so as to be able to use as an intimidation tactic.

I wonder why tRump would want those names? *snark* I DON'T wonder why the judge rejected his bid.

Is this so Trumpf can dig up or make up dirt on the jurors, have their lives be put in danger, or to pay them off?

Mob man wants names 'just because', lol. He just wants to steer his maga goons towards intimidating them.

Wow...mafia Boss

Let’s be realistic. This is the most ridiculous case brought against Trump. Forget the Bragg case forget all of it. This case actually contains zero evidence and all speculation. You can tell by what the lady herself has claimed.

goldpearl9 Now why would trump want to know the names of jurors? He never learns-Susan! He never changes.

Indivisible19NY Heh. Yay ejeancarroll !!

he wanted wut

He only wants to know so he can go on his shitty Twitter you order off Wish to berate and intimidate the jurors from his safe space on his phone because he’s void of any real balls.

Trump wants to know the names of jurors in his rape/defamation trial. I wonder why?

Talk about showing your “I want my jury to be murdered” card

…I mean… does it even need to be rejected? Should be an eat 💩

He shouldn't have done that The press likely already has the list and was trying to line them up for interviews plus a number of them would have outed themselves just for the 15 minutes of fame

omg, how absolutely horrible that would have been, like throwing raw meat at a ravenous animal, to give Dump the juror's names at e jean carroll's trial. i shudder at the thought.😳 thank goodness the judge rejected it.

what the fuck? trump thinks he runs the world

vwdasher Is he serious?

I’m sure there are more toxic personalities out there, but he’s got to be a serious front runner for the top spot.

Can you imagine the holy hell Maga would've unleashed in their lives?

Running for president was the stupidest thing trump has ever done.

When Trump spoke about how deeply corrupt the deep state of the Democrat Party (and their obedient RINO flunkies) is, he truly understated the problem. The American people had better do something about the corruption of the federal government because time is running out.

Yeah

Textbook mobster.

If any are hispanic, he will complain they are biased.

Trump’s subhuman supporters would have issued death threats if they knew the jurors’ names.

Correct summary: Trump denied information needed for jury intimidation

Oh course he did. Why would Trump need to know the names of the jurors unless he wants to harass them in some way. No way!

Trump’s battle switch from election polls to the legal system for now.

Remove the judge. That's his right.

Good judge!

Will make mafia tactics more difficult to implement 🧐

There’s mental illness all over her face.
