How Trump's own words could doom him in the E. Jean Carroll civil case: report

Former President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign is unprecedented in many ways. Moreover, no U.S. presidential candidate has had so many close associates or former associates who were convicted of or pled guilty to criminal charges — a list that includes Allen Weisselberg, Michael Cohen, Paul Manafort, veteran GOP operative Roger Stone, former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, and "War Room" host Steve Bannon. "Demeaning a beauty queen, boasting about forcing himself on women, then having the gall to deny he’s ever sexually harassed anyone — that’s the side of Donald Trump the former president’s lawyers don’t want New York City jurors to see as they consider whether or not he raped a magazine columnist decades ago," Pagliery explains. Trump’s lawyers according to Pagliery, are fighting to keep Trump’s "misogynist" comments from being used as evidence in the Carroll case. "Trump’s lawyers are trying to stop a long list of video clips and photos from being presented at trial, labeling them 'irrelevant and unduly prejudicial,'" Pagliery reports.
