Former President Donald Trump's attorney was scolded Wednesday by the judge presiding over E. Jean Carroll's defamation trial after Trump posted to Truth Social that his rape accuser"tried to hide" a wealthy political donor funding her lawsuit.
He made a second post about Carroll, saying,"She said there was a dress, using the ol' Monica Lewinsky 'stuff,' then she didn't want to produce it." "These are out-of-court comments obviously," said defense attorney Joe Tacopina, but U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan interjected, saying,"What you're trying to do is to get away from a statement by your client, a public statement, that on the face of it seems entirely inappropriate."
Tacopina said he would address the posts with Trump but also claimed that Roberta Kaplan had engaged in rule violations, citing a Daily Mail article that reported Kaplan's office staged a mock trial in which two out of three mock juries found Trump guilty.
