Trump Avoids Testimony in Carroll Sexual Assault, Defamation Case
E. Jean Carroll, a writer, has sued former President Donald Trump for sexual assault and defamation. The case, currently under appeal, has seen Trump avoid testifying, with Carroll suspecting he didn't want to face cross-examination by her attorney, Roberta Kaplan. Trump's decision not to return from a golf trip in Ireland to testify has raised eyebrows.
Carroll's lawsuit alleges Trump assaulted her in the 1990s. She later sued for defamation after Trump denied her claims. Both cases are now being appealed. Carroll believes Trump could have won the $90 million defamation case if he had testified in his own defence. However, Trump's lawyer, Joe Tacopina, is known for representing high-profile clients and may have advised Trump to avoid testifying. The jury in Carroll's case was drawn from Republican-leaning areas, which could have influenced the verdict.
The case between E. Jean Carroll and Donald Trump continues to unfold. Carroll maintains that Trump's refusal to testify could have impacted the outcome of the defamation case. The appeals process is ongoing, and the public awaits further developments.
