JUST IN: Clinton Judge Lewis Kaplan Rejects Trump’s Motion For Mistrial in E. Jean Carroll Case Even Though She Deleted Evidence Under Subpoena
Clinton-appointed Judge Lewis Kaplan on Wednesday denied Trump’s motion for a mistrial in E. Jean Carroll’s defamation case even though Carroll deleted evidence under subpoena.
Last month a 9-person jury ordered Trump to pay a total of $83.3 million to E. Jean Carroll for statements he made defending himself against false rape accusations.
The Trump team argued that the evidence Carroll deleted proves that she was receiving threats before President Trump ever commented on her allegations.
Judge Kaplan defended Carroll and said Trump offered no evidence that he ever attempted to recover the deleted messages.
“Mr. Trump has offered no evidence that he ever even attempted to recover any of these messages through discovery or otherwise,” Kaplan said,
