Saturday night, Judge Lewis Kaplan has now rendered a decision that prohibits former President Donald Trump’s legal counsel from arguing that he did not commit the rape of E. Jean Carroll.
The decision was rendered during a late Saturday filing preceding a January 16 trial in which defamation damages against Trump are to be determined.
The trial was scheduled to begin after a jury found Trump liable for sexually assaulting Carroll, but failed to find evidence to support the conclusion that he raped her.
“Defendant and his counsel shall not offer any evidence, conduct examination, or make any argument relating to Carroll II jury’s determination that plaintiff had failed to prove that defendant ‘raped’ her within the meaning of the New York Penal Law.” the judge in the case wrote.
Carroll was granted $5 million in compensatory damages by a jury in May 2023 from Trump, following their determination that he subjected her to sexual assault in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in 1996 and defamed her in 2022.
Carroll, in retaliation for Trump’s continuous criticism, has filed a second defamation lawsuit scheduled for trial on January 16.

Wonder what democrat big wheel this Carroll works for? The first jury didn’t find him guilty so why should he not be able to say no rape took place. The more these phony cases move forward it only proves to the public that the democrats are throwing everything they can against the wall to see what sticks. Their mission for years now has been to find something, anything, to charge Trump with. They’ve been afraid of him since he first ran for president, and that hasn’t changed over the years. The hate for Trump runs wide and deep across this country, and that hate will keep him from ever being elected in a national general election. God help us if the left wing democrats win control of our government next year because they will try their best to destroy our constitutional republic and install their version of a socialist government, with them in total control of course.
Ruling a defendant can’t claim innocence is grounds for convicting the judge.
god and his globalists and his demonrats and his rinos and his media and all his CRIMINAL organizations know they can’t beat American voters and Trump so they need to create all the crime and fraud that they can to steal another election to continue to create their hell on earth for all good people .
This is just more perpetuation of the BS. None of the “developments” reported are valid news. Just stirring the pot of BS. The truth will never be revealed. But, the BS will die away. Why should anyone pay any attention to it, I cannot fathom.
Let us just have faith that God will triumph and all wrong doers will be silenced.
Another schitt eating judge!
