Trump Lawyers Fight To Overturn Jury's Finding That He Sexually Abused E. Jean Carroll

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING NEW YORK — While Donald Trump campaigns for the presidency, his lawyers are fighting to overturn a verdict finding him liable for sexual abuse and slander. Circuit Court of Appeals are scheduled to hear arguments Friday in Trump’s appeal of a jury’s finding that he sexually assaulted the writer E. Jean Carroll. Trump’s lawyers say the jury’s verdict should be tossed because evidence was allowed at trial that should have been excluded and other evidence was excluded that should have been permitted. The appeal of that trial’s outcome, which Trump labeled “absolutely ridiculous!” immediately afterward, will be heard by the appeals court at a later date. Trump’s lawyers also challenged repeated airing at trial of an “Access Hollywood” videotape from 2005 in which Trump is heard saying that he sometimes just starts kissing beautiful women and “when you’re a star they let you do it.” He also said that a star can grab women’s genitals because “You can do anything.” In their written arguments, Carroll’s lawyers said Trump was wrongly demanding “a do-over” based on unfounded “sweeping complaints of unfairness” and other “distortions of the record, misstatements or misapplications of the law, and a steadfast disregard of the district court’s reasoning.” “There was no error here, let alone a violation of Trump’s substantial rights.
