Fast-talking Trump lawyer interrupted 'off the bat' with blunt question from judge

Raw Story  

Former President Donald Trump's lawyer's mile-a-minute rebuttal of E. Jean Carroll's $90 million lawsuit was almost immediately cut off by an appellate court judge with a blunt question. Attorney John Sauer appeared in the New York federal courtroom about 10 a.m. as oral arguments commenced in Trump's appeal of the jury verdict finding him liable for defamation earlier this year. Sauer opened by denying Carroll's claim — found credible in two civil court cases finding Trump liable of defamation and sex abuse — and asserting Trump had never met Carroll before she raised her claims. "Off the bat, Judge Denny Chin emphasizes Trump's uphill climb: 'It's very hard to overturn a jury verdict based on evidentiary rulings.
