'You understand what I am dealing with': Trump's lawyer tells judge he's not coming to NY to 'confront' rape accuser

Raw Story  

Earlier this week, former President Donald Trump said he'd leave his trip to Ireland and fly back to New York to “confront” E. Jean Carroll in her civil rape and defamation case against him -- a claim that had to be quickly walked back by his lawyer Joe Tacopina, who told Senior U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan during a sidebar conference on Thursday that Trump has no plans to testify, Law&Crime reported. “I have to go back for a woman who made a false accusation about me, and I have a judge who’s extremely hostile,” Trump told reporters in Ireland. This woman is a disgrace, and it shouldn’t be allowed in this country.” Speaking to the Judge on Tuesday, Tacopina said, “I know you understand what I am dealing with." IN OTHER NEWS: GOP's Chuck Grassley admits his ‘criminal scheme’ allegations against Joe Biden may be false “I’m not implying dishonesty on your part,” Kaplan told Tacopina, according to a court transcript.
