A trial is scheduled to begin next week. His attorneys have suggested appealing to the Supreme Court
Donald Trump lost yet another attempt to avoid a trial stemming from a defamation lawsuit from E Jean Carroll, after a federal appeals court panel in New York refused to rehear his “immunity” defence one week before the trial is set to begin.
A single-page order from the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on Monday declined to hear his request for the case to be heard in front of the court’s full 13-member panel. Mr Trump’s next option is to appeal to the US Supreme Court.
The trial is scheduled to begin in a federal courtroom in Manhattan on 15 January.
A federal jury already awarded Ms Carroll $5m earlier last year after finding Mr Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation. A second trial from another lawsuit is set to determine how much more he owes for denying her allegations while he was in office.
It’s not just about ignoring the problem … when your neighbour starts blasting heavy metal music all day long for everyone to hear, yes you can just tune out the noise and put up with it. But after a while, it’s just too hard to not notice and then it makes you wonder why everyone with power and influence constantly wants to push this idiot into the headlines on a near constant daily basis.
It might have something to do with his no longer hidden desire to become a ruthless dictator. At this point everything he does should be under a microscope, and putting your head in the sand makes you an enabler.
