District Judge Lewis Kaplan has said it multiple times: Donald Trump raped E. Jean Carroll in 1996. Kaplan wrote it in May 2023, when he presided over one of the trials against Trump. And he reminded jurors of the rape this week, during the latest proceedings in the multi-layered, winding rape and defamation cases brought against Trump by Carroll.
This is a civil trial, there are no crimes to pardon.
True, but I’m confident that alone won’t stop Trump, certainly not his attempts anyway.
We have to remember this is someone who does not play by the rules. He relies on everyone else doing so.
