Donald Trump's lawyer Joe Tacopina"threw" the former president's chances of emerging triumphant from the ongoing New York rape trial"out the window" during the cross-examination of plaintiff E. Jean Carroll on Thursday, Michigan attorney Jamie White has told"The cross-examination of Ms Carroll was the most tone-deaf and shameless cross-examination I have ever seen," White, best known for his work with sexual assault victims, said.
The lawsuit, originally filed by Carroll in 2019, accuses Trump of raping the writer in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the spring of 1996. Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing, claiming the incident never happened—leading Carroll to sue him for defamation. As Trump is likely to not attend the trial, despite experts agreeing that leaving an empty chair in court, a lot of the former president's defense was hanging on the cross-examination. White thinks Tacopina blew it.
Tacopina asked Carroll if she was"supposedly raped," suggesting she made her claim up."I was raped," Carroll responded. The lawyer then asked her why she didn't"scream for help."
