A Manhattan federal judge blasted Donald Trump’s “entirely inappropriate” posts on Truth Social Wednesday — as witness testimony began in E. Jean Carroll’s civil rape case against the former president.
Trump, 76, took to his social media platform about an hour before the second day of the trial began, claiming Carroll’s case was “a made up SCAM” and accusing her lawyers of being “political operatives.”
He also called for the dress the former advice columnist wore on the day of the alleged rape to be brought into the trial — something that Carroll sought to do early on in the case to compare the garment against Trump’s DNA.
Judge Lewis Kaplan — who previously ruled that nothing about Trump’s DNA would come into the trial — grilled the ex-president’s lawyer about the post before the jury was brought in, warning that the message appeared to be meant for the panel.

Defendants ae told by their lawyers to remain silent so they don’t inadvertently incriminate themselves. Since Trump isn’t lying he has nothing to hide.
This is just the Trump haters putting up someone to distract DJT. While that is happening DeSantis will move into the lead, but not for long. DeSantis is a Trojan Horse for anti-Trump Rinos to move Paul Ryan up in the pecking order. Murdoch knew that Tucker would expose all this on his programs so he had him fired. At least that’s what Rupert’s gardener says.
A defendant can make a statement that is counter to his/her interest, even if innocent. A defendant can present themselves unfavorably to jurors, even if innocent. I think this accusation is a crock, but a New York juror might agree that the case is a crock, but fear the consequences of voting for Trump. Ask Derek Chauvin. He never had a chance. Any juror voting to acquit would have had his house burned down within a week.
Ok. You’ve obviously mastered the issue, so I’ll set aside my experience, including in a CIVIL case that had an eight figure judgment, and defer to your superior grasp of the matter. Seriously, I’ll leave the field to you and the other legal beagles who chimed in, and whom I’ll invite to wipe the foam off their lips that formed while they were making their posts.
You like the judges lack of discernment and self-control when it comes to the First Amendment?
Trump is correct. Always attack these pieces of chit.
what you said !!!
The judge is right. This is trying to influence the jury pool. Geesh! Trump completely lacks self control.
And I bet that you just run your mouth whenever police officer, detective, prosecutor, starts, asking a lot of questions. You have nothing to hide right?
For starters, it's none of the judges business what the defendant says outside of court.
About your point of being what is good for the defendant, in this case, the defendant is running for office, is subject to daily comments in the court of public opinion from the slanted media, and has every right to give his side of the story.
No, DeSantis as an experienced attorney, knows when it is appropriate to keeps ones mouth shut.
I like how you lawyers like to inflate your legal prowess by bragging about the amounts involved in the cases you’ve won. That say nothing about your legal or trial skill, it could have been a no lose case that you just happened to luck into. The fact that you keep strutting around as a lawyer on this thread suggests to me you’re more likely just an ambulance chaser with Trump derangement syndrome.
Never met a lawyer that wasn’t an idiot, a crook or both.
Oh please! The justice system is completely corrupt and you bitch about Trump.
Nobody is debating your ad nauseum experience not your unwanted legalese, the issues are Trump hatred and the cabal's attempt to destroy the man that is going to destroy the cabal, hopefully. And obviously without your help.
She is a loony tune PLAIN AND SIMPLE, bringing this to trial is an abomination!!! ONLY because it is Trump!!!
💯
“Never met a lawyer that wasn’t an idiot, a crook or both.”
Not to mention a loser. I mean no lawyer wins all their arguments. If lawyers, a liberal arts degree BTW, we so damned smart and right there wouldn’t be any need for courts or lawyers. We’d just get in a room with these geniuses and they would agree on the outcome.
Folks here love his lack of discernment and self-control.
****************
Since you’re an attorney, maybe you can help with finding information on this case.
Where can somebody find the two lawsuits Carroll is bringing?
Not what the media is saying, but the actual paper work that alleges battery & defamation(this lawsuit) & defamation. (another lawsuit filed by Carroll.)
>> “entirely inappropriate” posts
Changing the statute of limitations to persecute Trump was totally inappropriate.
