The federal judge presiding over E. Jean Carroll's civil rape and defamation lawsuit against former President Donald Trump ruled Thursday he'll use an anonymous jury in the case, noting Trump's inflammatory rhetoric about the justice system.
"It bears mention that Mr. Trump repeatedly has attacked courts, judges, various law enforcement officials and other public officials, and even individual jurors in other matters,” U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan of New York said in his decision.
He also said he'll refuse to allow jurors' names to become public, adding, "If jurors’ identities were disclosed, there would be a strong likelihood of unwanted media attention to the jurors, influence attempts, and/or of harassment or worse of jurors by supporters of Mr. Trump."

They try so very hard, and fail to such amusement. Surely, journalism has morphed into a collection of folks barely above slime mold intellect.
"If you can't stand the heat, get the hell off the jury"
I guess the whole jury of your peers isn’t needed anymore.
These people are insane.
And the other case, where the judge resigns but the court is still adhering to her decisions.
Never thought I would see the day in America when we have the secret law, enforced by secret courts, and even secret jurors. How can Trumps attorney conduct vor dire? How can Trumps attorney be sure it is a pact with the Democrat party activists?
Oh and I forgot, Trump does not get attorney-client privilege. The government is trash.
Not quite a star chamber, but getting there.
Oh. Da po’ little jurors are going to be harassed.
Hey! It worked for YEARS in the south, why not now?
Isn’t she the crazy broad who said that rape was sexy geez trump already said he’s never heard of this freak of nature
I agree with this!
The Government is likely to harass the jurors to get their desired verdict.
There is a woman Tara Reid who
said Biden raped her years ago.
What happened to that case?
Always going after Trump.
Stormy said she never had a thing
with Trump so what was Cohen covering
up without tell Trump about it.
I understand Stormy’s lawyer never
paid her. Well she did break the
NDA but Avenotti kept the cash.
He stiffed the HO and went to jail
for fraud. Cohen went to jail too.
I wonder how much money Bragg and the
State AG miss ugly have spent on
going after innocent Mr. Trump to
try and end his career before he
is President agian.
Trump has ALWAYS very gorgeous, smart, CLASSY ladies to choose from-—I don’t think he would ever choose this “person”.
Fake news
Fake news
What do they expect?
The Legal System has been attacking Trump non-stop for more than 7 years.
How many of you would sit years on a legal opportunity to get a big chunk of a billionaire’s assets?
This is the weakest, most pathetic of all the lefties lawfare cases against Trump.
I think the woman is fashion industry knowledgeable and would know how well a ladies department store monitors dressing rooms.
A call to a lawyer is easy to make. The lawyer could have secured video evidence.
Its weakness is a strength.
Lies tend to be plausible.
Collectively, the fear of this man by the Deep State, Dems, RINO’s, and all Leftists is more than enough reason for this family to back President Trump 100%.
The fact that he had such a positive effect on our economy, top to bottom, and the respect he commanded on the world stage was icing on the cake. Bonus! Big League.
The fact is, this man has ALL the right enemies for ALL the right reasons. There is no one who can compare to the fear this man instills in the enemies of our republic. Period!
