Trial starts Tuesday in the civil case that writer E. Jean Carroll brought against former President Trump claiming that he raped her in the 1990s.
Even if he chooses not to testify, jurors will likely be shown video clips of Trump’s deposition – which is included on a trial evidence list and which Carroll’s lawyers have said they have the right to play if Trump doesn’t take the witness stand.
Ahead of the trial, Trump’s attorney had asked Kaplan to tell the jury: “The absence of the defendant in this matter, by design, avoids the logistical burdens that his presence, as the former president, would cause the courthouse and New York City.” “Mr. Trump is free to attend, to testify, or both,” the judge said. “He is free also to do none of those things.”
Manhattan civil lawyer Imran Ansari told The Post that if Trump doesn’t show up to the federal trial it could hurt how the jury perceives him.The trial is expected to last five to seven days.And if Trump doesn’t attend – or skips large portions of the trial – Carroll’s lawyers can argue “it shows his disregard to the plaintiff, the trial process and the jury who are there every day themselves,” Ansari explained.for statements he made in June that year denying her attack accusations.
Once inside the fitting room, Trump allegedly pushed Carroll against the wall bumping her head and kissing her, the suit claims.
