MLM Case Against Trump by Carroll Counsel Drops Sons and Ivanka For Next Trump Trial


by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

SDNY COURTHOUSE, May 19 – In 2018 the lawyer who in 2023 represented E. Jean Carroll at trial against Donald J. Trump filed a civil damages suit, with four unnamed plaintiffs, against Trump and his children for their promotion of "a company called ACN, a multi-level marketing company

  On May 19, 2023, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Lorna G. Schofield signed an order releasing from the case Eric Trump, Ivanka Trump and Donald J. Trump, Jr..

  Roberta Kaplan, who Inner City Press covered earlier in the week representing NYU against a John Doe named in a #MeToo Google Spreadsheet online, said

  "Discovery in this case, including the depositions given by Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, made clear that Donald J. Trump himself was the architect, principal actor and largest beneficiary of the fraudulent scheme to endorse and promote ACN in exchange for secret payments. That is why we proposed this stipulation in the first place: Donald J. Trump and the company he used to carry out the scheme, The Trump Corporation, are the right defendants as we move toward a jury trial." 

  Could it be... Trump Trial 2? Trump Trial 1 here.

The case is McKoy, et al. v. The Trump Corporation and Donald J. Trump, 18-cv-9936 (Schofield)
