SDNY COURTHOUSE, April 26 – When E. Jean Carroll testified on April 26 about Donald Trump allegedly raping her in Bergdorf Goodman's in 1996, then defaming her in 2019, Trump's lawyer Joe Tacopina repeatedly objected.
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Louis A. Kaplan denied most objections - and told Tacopina that his client might be subjecting himself to liability under other Federal statutes with his posts on Truth Social (and his son's tweets).
Judge Kaplan also ruled that sexual assault ascribed to Les Moonves, and funding of this lawsuit by Linked-In co-founder Reid Hoffman, would not be allowed into evidence.
