E. Jean Carroll’s lawsuit against Donald Trump is very bad for Trump.

Slate  

The first of what will likely be multiple courtroom battles for Donald Trump is about to start, after U.S. District Court Senior Judge Lewis Kaplan denied Trump’s motion to adjourn the scheduled April 25 trial of the civil assault charges filed against him by E. Jean Carroll. Finally, Judge Kaplan has allowed into evidence certain of Trump’s prior assaultive conduct toward women, including the infamous Access Hollywood tape. In dismissing the case, federal judge Donald Middlebrooks issued a scathing 46-page opinion finding the lawsuit to be one that “no reasonable lawyer would have filed,” brought “in bad faith and for an improper purpose.” In an extraordinary step, he imposed on both Habba and Trump a penalty of $937,989.39. Making the courtroom battle even more unfavorable for Trump will be Carroll’s attorney Roberta Kaplan, an experienced, well-regarded civil rights and commercial litigator known for her reasoned demeanor and practical approach.
