BREAKING: Donald Trump flails desperately as the walls close in and begs for a mistrial in the E. Jean Carroll civil case in which she is credibly accusing him of rape and defamation.
Trump's lawyer pathetically claim that U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan was unfairly prejudicial against the disgraced ex-president and was "openly expressing favoritism" with some of his comments and that he "manifests a deeper leaning towards one party over another."
If there is no mistrial, Trump wants his lawyer to have "greater latitude to cross-examine" Caroll and the witness she call, which likely just means being allowed to more aggressively harass and smear them.
For once in his life, Donald Trump is facing consequences for his heinous actions and he simply has no way of processing it. Finally, his luck is running dry.
Retweet to demand that all of Trump's requests be denied!
JUST IN: Judge Lewis Kaplan has ruled against Trump attorney Joe Tacopina's motion for a mistrial, filed early this morning and seen as an act of desperation in the E. Jean Carroll rape and defamation lawsuit against Trump.
Tacopina, who has been criticized by legal experts for his heavy-handed treatment in cross examination of Carroll, alleged "pervasive unfair and prejudicial rulings" by Judge Kaplan.
