Trump Lawyer Begs Judge To Delay Upcoming Assault Trial - Ring of Fire

[TexasTowelie]

Donald Trump is set to go to trial in less than two weeks in a case filed against him by reporter E. Jean Carroll, but his lawyer sent a letter to the judge this week begging for a one-month extension. The lawyer, Joe Tacopina, says that they need a "cooling off" period since the indictments against the former president hit last week, but since the two cases are NOT related, this should not be an issue. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Donald Trump's lawyer, Joe Taina, has sent a letter to the court begging them to please give us an extra month before Donald Trump has to go on trial. In the trial for the case brought by Eugene Carroll alleging that he sexually assaulted her in a department store dressing room in the early 1990s. This, of course, is the famous Eugene Carroll case, the one that I more than any of these other Trump investigations have been waiting for for so long, because it may prove, depending on how the jury rules that the former president did in fact rape somebody in the nineties. I, I, I think that's, that's probably the most important thing out there to know about this man.

Trial was set for April 25th. Taina says, well, hold your horses, folks. We can't go to trial right now. I don't know if you notice this, but my client just got indicted in New York. So Taina is begging the judge. Listen, obviously a lot of people got their minds made up about my client here, and we just want time for it to, as he says, cool down. Let's let it cool down for a bit before he has to go in front of another jury that's going to determine whether or not he sexually assaulted somebody. But here's the thing, Joe, when, and you know this, Joe, I don't even know why I'm explaining it to you. I'm do, I'm acting like I'm explaining it to you so I can explain it to the audience. When you're doing any kind of trial, one of the things you want to do, especially if you're trying to prove bad behavior, is to establish a pattern of bad behavior, which of course is why you lost the motion to bar other witnesses who say that Trump assaulted them from, from the trial.

But it's also why that case in New York, believe it or not, is actually relevant because that case in New York, those indictments are actually just further proof that this guy doesn't like to follow the law. Now, the law could be don't falsify business documents or the law could be don't sexually assault somebody in a department store dressing room. Doesn't matter what it is, because if these, uh, plaintiff's lawyers are able to establish that this man has a pattern of behavior where he clearly ignores the law, then that actually bolsters their case. And that's actually what you're afraid of. That jury that's gonna hear this case, whether it starts on April 25th, or whether it starts a month from then, they're not gonna have forgotten those Trump indictments, that that's not something that's just gonna be swept under the rug and go away. So those, as you call them, uh, uh, what is it, the, the prejudicial feelings they may have, they're not gonna go away. It's not gonna cool down.

Your client is a guy that most of the country believes should be prosecuted. That's not going to change by giving the jurors, in this case, an extra month. They're scared of what this case could prove. That's what this is about. They're not worried that the jury's gonna come in with these preconceived notions. They are terrified that Trump can't win and that it's gonna make everybody think that he is a rapist.
