Trump’s lawyer acknowledged that an intense surge of coverage of the charges brought by D.A. Bragg in the hush money case provides risk that jurors in the civil trial will conflate the issues. Trump seeks delay of defamation trial, citing ‘media frenzy’:
Donald Trump argued late Tuesday that his historic indictment by a Manhattan grand jury requires a delay in another legal matter he faces: the defamation lawsuit brought by E. Jean Carroll, who says Trump defamed her when he denied and derided her claim that he raped her decades ago.
“Holding the trial in this case a mere three weeks after these historic events will guarantee that many, if not most, prospective jurors will have the criminal allegations top of mind when judging President Trump against Ms. Carroll’s allegations,” Tacopina argued in a, contending that the intensity of media coverage was “remarkable for its volume and incitement of animus towards President Trump” among potential jurors.
Kaplan has seemed intent on charging ahead with Trump’s civil case despite the surrounding chaos caused by the indictment. He recently backed a bid to permit jurors in the civil trial anonymity, citing the potential threats to their safety caused by Trump’s rhetoric — particularly toward Bragg and the judge in his criminal case.
