Trump golfed in Ireland rather than attend two significant Manhattan court cases docketed Thursday. He continued to skip the E. Jean Carroll rape-defamation case now wrapping in federal court. "I will probably attend," he told reporters of the Carroll trial. When Irish reporters asked Trump why he wasn't attending his Manhattan civil trial, he responded, "Because we have a longstanding agreement to come here." When one reporter asked whether he was showing "disrespect" to the court, Trump walked away.

It was Ms. Martin who advised her not to go to the police, Ms. Carroll testified. Ms. Kaplan said they also expected that Ms. Carroll’s sister would testify. Ms. Kaplan said she planned to finish presenting Ms. Carroll’s case perhaps by midday on Thursday. “She said, ‘Lisa, you are not going to believe what happened to me,’” Ms. Birnbach testified. She said Ms. Carroll sounded “breathless, hyperventilating, emotional.”

Donald Trump's lawyers won't call witnesses in his defense in his rape and defamation trial. E. Jean Carroll sued the former president for allegedly raping her and then trashing her in public. Trump hasn't personally shown up to the trial, which has been going on for a week in Manhattan federal court. That means Trump won't present any case at all in the ex-president's defense. The attorney also said witnesses will see videos of a sworn deposition Trump took for the case prior to the trial, where he denies Carroll's allegations.

☆ Nothing Says Fashion in 2023 Like a Corset Hoodie

There is a certain futility in making sense of fashion trends of late. Just try to follow the path from naked dressing to stealth wealth without taking the pink-drenched detours of cottagecore, balletcore and Barbiecore. Three years later, one consequence of this convergence has emerged: the corset hoodie. The garment is a fashion Frankenstein — cozy hoodie on top, restrictive corset on bottom — that is both a conjugation and rejection of its parent trends. The corset half was sheer with visible boning.

The first person called was Lisa Birnbach, a journalist, author and close friend of Ms. Carroll. Ms. Carroll has said she called Ms. Birnbach shortly after the alleged rape. Ms. Carroll on Monday ended two days of cross-examination by Joseph Tacopina, Mr. Trump’s lawyer, about her allegation. Mr. Trump, who has avoided coming to court, has denied all wrongdoing. As she was leaving through a revolving door, Mr. Trump entered and recognized her, she has testified, and persuaded her to help him shop for a gift for a female friend.

REUTERS/Jane RosenbergMay 2 (Reuters) - A friend of E. Jean Carroll on Tuesday backed up the writer’s account of being raped by Donald Trump, testifying during a civil trial that she received a phone call about the alleged attack minutes after it occurred. Birnbach, author of many books including "The Official Preppy Handbook,” said Carroll told her Trump slammed her into the wall, pulled down her tights and “penetrated her with his penis.”“I whispered, E. Jean, he raped you. Carroll told jurors last week that Trump put his fingers into her vagina, which she called "extremely painful," and then inserted his penis. Birnbach testified that Carroll refused to go to the police after the alleged rape and asked her to never tell anyone about the incident.

By the time he won an acquittal in a high-profile, 2011 Manhattan criminal trial, Tacopina had attacked what he called her "functional tolerance" for alcohol. She remembered in graphic detail being immobilized in her bed — too drunk to resist — as she was allegedly raped, she told jurors. "She called him a rapist," Tacopina told the jury in openings Monday. "I can dance backwards and forwards in four-inch heels," she told Tacopina when he questioned her dressing-room balancing act. "It caused me to realize that staying silent does not work," she told Tacopina of the courage she saw in that #MeToo wave.

Reuters GraphicsMany U.S. importers are still sanguine, but their supply chains could still be disrupted as Vietnam's apparel makers depend on China for about half of their input materials, according to the country's industry association. XINJIANG LINKSWhile the halted shipments represent a tiny portion of the $27 billion worth of garments and footwear Vietnam exported to the U.S. last year, compliance risks may lead to more painful adjustments for Vietnam. That, in turn, will hit U.S. consumers as Vietnam is their main source of cotton apparel, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. However Nike has significantly reduced its output of apparel and footwear in Vietnam despite the country remaining its main manufacturing hub, according to its latest annual report updated to May 2022. Two officials from U.S. footwear and apparel industry trade associations said the new rules have had no major impact so far on Vietnam and blamed recent job cuts on lower global demand.

Ms. Carroll, 79, a former magazine columnist, said nothing publicly about the encounter for decades before publishing a memoir in 2019 that accused Mr. Trump of attacking her. Mr. Trump has not appeared in court since the trial began on Tuesday and his lawyer has not said whether or not he will. Mr. Trump’s lawyers have suggested she invented the story to boost sales of her book. They have also contended that she and her friends schemed to hurt Mr. Trump politically. One of Mr. Trump’s lawyers, Joseph Tacopina, hinted in his opening statement what other lines of questioning Ms. Carroll might expect on cross-examination.

He is not required to appear at the trial, and his lawyer Joe Tacopina said on Tuesday he was "not sure" whether Trump would testify.

Trump's Truth Social posts blasting E. Jean Carroll may be "tampering" the jury, the judge warned. Judge Kaplan pointed out that Trump had, for years, dodged taking a DNA test that would help determine the merits of Carroll's allegations. "It's as if you just told me yesterday was the Fourth of July," Judge Kaplan said. Judge Kaplan called Trump's Truth Social posts "a public statement that seems entirely inappropriate" and warned it may cross the line into "tampering" with the case. In an October 2022 post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: "This 'Ms.

Trump's lawyers had fought to keep jurors from seeing parts of his E. Jean Carroll trial deposition. A judge Tuesday ruled Trump's cringey explanation for his Access Hollywood remarks is admissible. In the disputed cut, Trump says 'stars' have 'historically' been allowed to grab women's genitals. Trump's attorneys previously tried, without success, to bar jurors from hearing any mention of the Access Hollywood tape. Trump was asked by Carroll's lawyers in the deposition.

In the suit, Ms. Carroll, 79, says that one evening in the mid-1990s, she visited the luxury department store Bergdorf Goodman, where she was a regular shopper. There, the suit says, she ran into Mr. Trump. He questioned several details of what Ms. Carroll has claimed: that no one else was present nearby, that the dressing room doors were unlocked and that Ms. Carroll fled without anyone seeing her. Ms. Carroll’s lawyers will ask the jury to find Mr. Trump liable for battery, and if he is found responsible, to award monetary damages. Here are some facts about the case:The New York State law that allowed Ms. Carroll to bring her suit isn’t even a year old.
