  2. [15:42] Trump loses appeal of $5m defamation verdict

    A federal appeals court has upheld a $5m verdict that E Jean Carroll won against Donald Trump when a jury found the US president-electliable for sexually abusing and later defaming the former magazine columnist.

  3. In the manner of a small child or a geriatric narcissist, Trump's defense is somewhere between โ€œcrime bossโ€ and โ€œstochastic terroristโ€ as the presumptive theory of his innocence. ๐Ÿฆง #JeanCarroll slate.com/news-and-politics/20

  4. DONALD TRUMP IS A RAPIST! (According to U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan). The judge wrote an order denying Trump's motion to reduce damages, reasoning that forcible digital penetration constituted rape:

    "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."

    Although not directly addressed in this order, it would seem to sound the death knell for Trump's counter-claim that Carroll defamed him after the jury verdict by saying he "raped" her instead of "sexually assaulted" her.

  5. 9) The #Trump show was on #CNN last night. He served up a big dose of red meat to true believer supporters who were predominant in the town hall format audience.

    While that makes going into the primary process, the #Election2024 campaign will be fought for the middle swing 30%. Many will not be enamored by #ElectionDenialism, #Jan6 rioter embrace or the #JeanCarroll rape verdict

  6. Sexual assaulter" doesn't roll off the tongue well, and "sexual predator" downplays what #Trump did to #JeanCarroll.

    Despite the possible redundancy, I'm going with "sexual molester" unless a more apt description presents itself.

  7. This is progress but of course Trump will immediately turn this into a fundraising event and grift more than the $5M from his MAGA victims. Grifting Old Predators gotta keep up the grift.

  8. @GottaLaff "The testimony of #JeanCarroll and her witnesses is uncontroverted, because #DonaldTrump chose to hide behind his lawyer rather than coming in here and telling you his story under oath."

    This is not a quote from Kaplan, but I'm wondering to what extent she did use Trump's failure to testify against him?

  9. @GottaLaff Wow - #JeanCarroll didn't ask for a specific dollar amount of damages, nor refer to the fact that Trump is (allegedly) a billionaire?

    I guess they are walking a fine line between wanting compensation w/o wanting to appear greedy.

  10. @terrylingwood While #Trump may have left the country, many of his assets remain in the US. In the event that he loses the trial, the plaintiff, #JeanCarroll will be awarded damages. Seems like a trivial matter to lock up some of #Trumpโ€™s assets to pay the award regardless of his location. Should #DonaldTrump lose the case, he will appeal the outcome. Given his past legal practice this case will be in the courts for years

  11. 6) Meanwhile the candidate accused of rape in a current civil suit trial plays golf in #Ireland.

    While Mr #Trump claims he will return to #NYC to defend himself, he has opted NOT to attend the #JeanCarroll trial. While the geography was different, the usual MO was on full display, made for #NewsMedia assertions without reference to fact or logic

  12. So now the "uncontroverted evidence" in the #JeanCarroll case is that the rape happened, and #DonaldTrump also sexually assaulted two other women.

    In a civil case, the fact finder can typically draw an adverse inference when a witness declines to answer questions (e.g. invokes his 5th Amendment rights).

    I know that Judge Kaplan preliminarily rejected Trump's requested jury instruction that he's not appearing out of a sense of civic obligation to save taxpayers & USSS the hassle/expense. But is there any civil jury instruction where neither party calls one of the parties to the stand?

    And if there is no specific instruction, is there any prohibition on Carroll's attorneys arguing that Trump's failure to show up and deny the charges under oath is an indication that he did it?

  13. 47 years ago I was at the wheel of a car suddenly encountering a firetruck responding to a call and dragging a hose.

    No means of avoiding the hose and heavy nozzle flailing on the end of it. Barely time to tell my passenger to duck and close their eyes.

    The car was severely damaged. We laughed it off-- at the time.

    Decades later I flinch weirdly, break into a little sweat with pounding heart if even a leaf approaches the windshield.

    I was way less than raped.

    Believe #JeanCarroll.
