Carroll said she deleted emails with death threats after Trump defamed her. "Plaintiff admitted that she deleted multiple email messages pertaining to purported death threats made to her," Habba wrote. Advertisement"Despite being served with a subpoena in connection with this action, Plaintiff failed to take reasonable steps to preserve relevant evidence," Habba wrote. "In fact, she did much worse — she actively deleted evidence which she now attempts to rely on in establishing her damages claim." Carroll testified that she received death threats "daily" and deleted them from her inbox and from replies to her social media posts.

"Mr. Trump, I hope I don't have to consider excluding you from the trial," the judge told him. Following Kaplan's warning, Trump posted that Kaplan was a "seething and hostile" judge with "a major case of Trump Derangement Syndrome." Trump said he did not know Carroll and that she branded him a rapist to boost sales of her then-new memoir. "I am here because Donald Trump assaulted me, and when I wrote about it, he said it never happened," Carroll said. Trump did not attend Carroll's first trial, and in his Truth Social post said he would have won had he attended.

A six-member jury was selected Tuesday in E. Jean Carroll's second defamation case against Trump. Trump lost one of his best possible jurors earlier when the man said he thought the 2020 election was stolen from Trump and that Trump was being treated unfairly by the courts. The man — juror number 68 — was also the only one in the prospective jury pool who said he'd been to a Trump rally. AdvertisementAs jury selection began Tuesday in E. Jean Carroll's second defamation case against former President Donald Trump, Judge Lewis Kaplan asked the potential jurors a question: did any of them believe the 2020 election was stolen from Trump? Kaplan dismissed him shortly after, meaning the former president likely lost one of his best jurors in the second Carroll defamation trial.

Jean Carroll's second trial against Donald Trump on Tuesday, the judge put a tight muzzle on the former president. The judge also ensured that Trump couldn't create a dramatic scene by yelling "I object" in the middle of the trial. Carroll took Trump to trial last spring — although he didn't show up to court in that case — for a similar set of claims.

REUTERS/David Dee Delgado Acquire Licensing RightsNEW YORK, Nov 3 (Reuters) - A federal judge said Donald Trump will face an anonymous jury as it decides how much he should pay E. Jean Carroll for defaming the writer in 2019 by denying that he raped her. U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan said he found "strong reason" to provide special protections for jurors at the scheduled Jan. 16, 2024 civil trial. Neither Carroll, a former Elle magazine columnist, nor Trump, nor anyone else objected to using an anonymous jury, the judge said. Another anonymous jury in May ordered Trump to pay Carroll $5 million for sexual assault and defamation in a second lawsuit, after Trump again denied her claims in October 2022.

Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan challenged Trump's lawyer Michael Madaio during oral arguments in Trump's appeals of pivotal rulings by U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan. Carroll's lawyer Joshua Matz rejected any suggestion that Trump could not waive absolute immunity because "broader structural considerations" were at play. "A party who believes that they are holding onto absolute immunity from suit does not behave the way that Mr. Trump behaved it his case." The appeals court did not say when it will rule. The appeals court could order Trump to pay damages and costs if it ends up agreeing with the judge.

A federal judge set Trump's election interference trial in Washington, DC, for March 4, 2024. Prosecutors want a trial quickly because Trump's social media attacks could influence the jury pool. Lucian Chalfen, a spokesperson for the New York state court system, told Insider that Trump's trial date in Manhattan has not been changed. Judges have sought to reign in Trump's social media posts in other ways. Lauro has previously said he wants the case trial in West Virginia, which legal experts say is unlikely to happen.

On Monday, the federal judge in Trump's NY rape-defamation case ruled again in E. Jean Carroll's favor. The writer is no closer to pocketing the $5 million verdict she won from Trump in May. In a decision Monday, a federal judge in Manhattan tossed out Trump's attempt to counter-sue Carroll for defamation. In those statements, Trump called Carroll a liar, including on June 24, 2019, when he told reporters, "I'll say it with great respect: Number one, she's not my type. "E.

Trump's lawyers say his classified documents trial should be postponed until after the election. His lawyers argued it's hard for the former president to balance campaigning with all the indictments and lawsuits he's facing. If Judge Aileen Cannon — a Trump appointee — agrees, it could allow Trump to pardon himself in 2024 if he wins. They made the argument while appearing Tuesday before US District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, for a pretrial hearing. Trump is facing a slew of criminal indictments and civil lawsuits, which his defense lawyers said are clashing with his plans for the 2024 campaign trail.

That effort, if it had been approved, would have killed Carroll's lawsuit because the government can shield itself from civil liability under the doctrine of sovereign immunity. The DOJ had not played a role in that lawsuit, as the alleged actions occurred outside of Trump tenure in the White House. "We are grateful that the Department of Justice has reconsidered its position," Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, said in a statement. "Now that one of the last obstacles has been removed, we look forward to trial in E Jean Carroll's original case in January 2024." The letter also said: "Moreover, the circumstantial evidence of Mr. Trump's subjective intent in making theallegedly defamatory statements does not support a determination in this case that he wassufficiently motivated by a desire to serve the United States Government."

While the jury found that Trump sexually abused Carroll by inserting his fingers into her vagina, it didn't find him liable for rape.
