Donald Trump made an 'entirely inappropriate' online statement about the trial of a rape lawsuit against him, the judge said Wednesday, warning the former U.S. president's lawyers that he could bring more legal problems upon himself.
Former advice columnist E. Jean Carroll arrives to federal court in New York, Wednesday, April 26, 2023. Donald Trump made an "entirely inappropriate" online statement about the trial of a rape lawsuit against him, the judge said Wednesday, warning the former U.S. president's lawyers that he could bring more legal problems upon himself.
"What seems to be the case is that your client is basically endeavoring, certainly, to speak to his quote-unquote public, but, more troubling, the jury in this case about stuff that has no business being spoken about," the judge told Trump's lawyers. He called Trump's post "a public statement that, on the face of it, seems entirely inappropriate."
She has said he asked her advice about selecting a gift for a woman, and she went along, thinking the experience would be funny. According to Carroll, they ended up in a lingerie department, joked with each other about who should try on a bodysuit and went to a dressing room. The trial comes as Trump again seeks the Republican nomination for president, and weeks after he pleaded not guilty to unrelated criminal charges that involve payments made to silence a porn actor who said she had a sexual encounter with him.
