    Trump loses last bid to keep key evidence out of rape trial
    By LARRY NEUMEISTER
    Today

    NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump’s effort to keep key evidence out of his civil rape trial next month was rejected by a federal judge Monday.

    Judge Lewis A. Kaplan in Manhattan ruled that key witnesses will be allowed to testify and misogynistic remarks Trump made about women in 2005 when he apparently didn’t realize he was being recorded can be played for a jury that will hear quarter-century-old rape allegations made by a former magazine columnist.

    A trial in the case filed by E. Jean Carroll is scheduled to start April 25. Carroll and Trump are expected to testify.

    Carroll said in a 2019 memoir that she was raped by Trump in the mid-1990s in a dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman, an upscale Manhattan department store. She said a chance encounter filled with lighthearted banter turned violent when they entered a small room while teasing one another about who would try on a piece of lingerie.

    Trump has repeatedly insisted he never met Carroll at the store and that he didn't know who she was. During an October deposition, he misidentified a decades-old photograph of her as one of his ex-wives.

    In the deposition, Trump was dismissive of Carroll’s claims, saying: “Physically she’s not my type."

    Kaplan had previously ruled that taped remarks Trump made in an “Access Hollywood” tape could be used in a defamation case Carroll brought against him before she filed a rape claim against him in November, when a temporary law took effect allowing adult rape victims to sue their abusers, even if attacks happened decades ago.

    He also ruled that two women who made sexual abuse claims in circumstances similar to those alleged by Carroll could testify at trial.

    The Access Hollywood tape was revealed just weeks before Trump won the November 2016 presidential election.

    In the tape, he said that sometimes when he sees beautiful women: “I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait.” And he added that, “When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything,” including grabbing women between their legs.

    Afterward, he issued a rare apology, saying the comments were “locker room banter” caught on a hot mic.

    Lawyers for Trump and Carroll had agreed that the defamation claim, made in a separate lawsuit, could be tried along with the rape claim, but the judge rejected that proposal Monday, saying the defamation lawsuit could be tried separately or not at all if the Justice Department successfully replaces Trump as a defendant with the United States.

    In an order Monday, Kaplan ruled specifically that he would allow the “Access Hollywood” tape and testimony by two other women who say Trump attacked them sexually to be included in next month's trial, repeating his rulings from the defamation case.

    “There is no reason, and Mr. Trump has made no persuasive argument, for me to rule differently,” he wrote.

    He also said he will allow testimony from two individuals who worked at the department store at the time of the alleged rape to testify, even though Trump's lawyers objected, saying they hadn't been notified in a timely fashion of the testimony and hadn't had a chance to depose the witnesses.

    The judge said lawyers for Carroll had notified them of the witnesses in a timely fashion.

    Roberta Kaplan, a lawyer for Carroll, declined comment. A lawyer for Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    I don't know what's going to happen today, the self imposed "NYC ARREST" day.
    This case starting on 0425 is the REAL REAL.

    Fucking douchebag.

    *IF*  they're going to arrest him.... they would be absolutely foolish to do it on Tuesday.  Not a chance. If they have the evidence and paperwork all ready to go, you go and issue an arrest warrant ASAP. 

    How much of a flight risk he is will be interesting, so I'm not sure if they intend on issuing an arrest warrant in the hopes he turns himself in, or they go full on raid mode and go get him.  Either way.... they would be remarkably dumb to do it on Tuesday. 

    Trump is going to use this as he always does to his advantage no matter what.  But do not do it on the Tuesday.  ASAP. 

    He wants the 'protests' .. he is going to want to see violence because of this just like on Jan 6th.  
    What’s wrong with Tuesday? Isn’t it common for high profile people to arrange a time for them to turn themselves in? Even OJ, in a double murder, was allowed the luxury. Maybe this slid what happened. We’ll find out Tuesday I guess.

    Do note its only he who is saying Tuesday. Grand Jury is still hearing witnesses.....
    Yes, I haven't heard anyone say Tuesday but Trump. The comment wasn't is it going to happen on Tuesday, it was asking why do you (can't remember if it was you or someone else who said it) think Tuesday is a bad idea?
    But it was said arresting him on Tuesday is a bad idea. I don't see why it's any different than any other day.
    It's a bad idea because this is completely unprecedented.  A former leader of the free world telling his supporters what's going to happen and to protest has never happened in America.  That's why it's a bad idea. The justice system should not do anything to prove him correct. 

    To the best of my knowledge, they've already poured a lot of money and personnel in securing New York and Washington simply because of this stupid tweet, or truth or whatever you wanna call it. 

    Trump is watching these people dance like puppets on a string.

    Correct. And the hilarious thing is, they don't have any authority or legal grounds to request the information they're seeking. Funnier still, the person they're trying to protect and aid and abet, POOTWH, is appealing and delaying everything in an attempt to delay the inevitable, which is well within its rights, and may very well reach the SCOTUS, who may rule in its favor. Fine. Dems and every investigation of Brandon should be met with the same tactics and delays.

    But for you thinking folks out there, if all of these investigations are "witch hunts," why doesn't POOTWH fast track the court hearings and appearances, take the stand, clear his name and be vindicated? Wouldn't it then win in an overwhelming landslide and be POTUS for life? The Second Coming, if you will? I mean, a perfect phone call, personal funds for an affair that never happened, no tax cheating, nothing but previously declassified documents and certainly nothing but a tourist visit. If all of that is true, why the avoidance of having its day in court? Imagine the fundraising and the free publicity. What gives?

    he can't fast track it because he cannot help but perjure himself on the stand. he has told so many lies at this point, some that contradict each other, that he cannot swear that one story is fact over any of the rest. there is no way in this world or any other universe that that man cannot help but perjure himself in court. that is why they are delaying instead of fast tracking.
