Former President Donald Trump’s attorney requested a mistrial Monday in his client’s rape case, saying the judge overseeing the civil proceedings in federal court has ruled in a biased manner against Trump.
FILE - Attorney Joe Tacopina, a lawyer representing former President Donald Trump, arrives to federal court in New York, April 27, 2023. The lawyer for former President Donald Trump wants a mistrial in his client's rape case, saying the judge overseeing the proceedings has ruled in a biased manner against him. Tacopina's complaints were filed Monday, May 1, 2023 in Manhattan federal court. Tacopina complained that rulings by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan have been slanted in favor of writer E.
In those, Tacopina asked that Kaplan correct the record for any rulings that mischaracterized the evidence or permit Tacopina more latitude in questioning E. Jean Carroll, a columnist who sued Trump in November under a New York state law letting sexual assault victims temporarily sue others for attacks that happened even decades ago.
Carroll has testified that she would have kept her accusation secret forever if not for the #MeToo movement, which gained prominence in 2017.
