E. Jean Carroll's second suit against former President Donald Trump for defamation of character took an ugly turn this week when it was discovered that she had deleted evidence that had been subpoenaed by Trump's defense team. On the witness stand Carroll admitted that she deleted the subpoenaed emails because she didn't want to upset her lawyers. Following this admission of illegally destroying evidence, Trump's lawyer Alina Habba moved for a mistrial.
Presiding Judge Lewis Kaplan denied the mistrial request, saying that "the requested evidence is irrelevant. It is beyond dispute that Trump continues to contend that he is innocent of the charges for which he was already found guilty in Ms. Carroll's first suit against him. His own words make him a verdict denier. Continuing to argue his innocence further defames Ms. Carroll. His only legitimate option at this point is to admit guilt. Failing that Ms. Carroll has an unlimited right to repeatedly sue him for damages to her reputation."
Kaplan also cited the precedent of former FBI Director James Comey's absolution of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's deletion of subpoenaed email evidence of her violation of national security laws in 2016. "If no reasonable prosecutor would charge her this much more serious crime there is no basis for charging a lesser person for a similar, but less significant crime. If you recall, Sec. Clinton was in the midst of a critical battle against Trump to try to save our democracy from him and his MAGA terrorists. In the context of this battle Clinton's minor indiscretions had to be put aside. Ms. Carroll's suit against Trump is another front in the ongoing battle against this enemy of democracy. She deserves the same leniency as Clinton got."

Hillarys emails were backed up. And the back ups were probably deleted too. It was a thought out and planned act that took a lot of effort. Not an accident.
Wow. The judge is using a criminal act as precedence in this trial.
Imagine, if you will, Trump doing the same thing.
top 10 example of “travesty of justice” is this lunatic fringe woman suing a man for actually saying out loud that He NEVER DID what he never did. NO proof, NO witnesses, NO police report filed and TWENTY PLUS YEARS passed...and yet here we are. young entrepreneurs beware. IF you are successful and become a rich and powerful man, lunatic fringe women(and maybe men) from YOUR far distant past will try to bamboozle a liberal judge somewhere to come after you too. Be careful what you do...and who. fyi.
On purpose. She will be rewarded for it.
He was found not guilty of rape, but found guilty of “abuse” - even though the jury made their initial decision based on the fact there was zero evidence Trump even knew this woman.
America’s justice system is a clogged toilet
It is now! But perhaps if it existed it might be relevant to a defense, even show perjury.
