On Tuesday, April 25, a civil trial opened in New York against the former tenant of the White House, Donald Trump, accused by E. Jean Carroll, former columnist of the magazine SHE, sexual assault and defamation. If the facts date back to the 90s, it is thanks to theAdult Survivors Act(an exceptional law that went into effect in New York State last November for a one-year period allow alleged victims of sexual assault to bring proceedings even when the facts are time-barred), That. Jean Carroll was able to relaunch her complaint against Donald Trump. You had already filed a complaint for the first time in 2019 against the former president, only for defamation because the facts were time-barred and which the latter had defined as ” complete lie his accusations.
“A Political Conspiracy”
If the trial is about Donald Trump, it is E. Jean Carroll that all eyes were on this opening day. As reported by KeeperDonald Trump’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, has not skimped on strategies for deflecting the debate, saying that ” E. Jean Carroll had conspired with other women to falsely accuse the former president of rape because they hated him since he won the 2016 election », and thus playing on the widespread cliché of the mischievous woman ready for anything.
This political argument, declined throughout the session, is Donald Trump’s favorite joker, who dreams of running again for president and does not hesitate to cry conspiracy as soon as a new lawsuit overwhelms him. A few weeks earlier, criminally charged with thirty-four accounting and tax frauds, the entrepreneur had already published a press release denouncing an attempt to “lower his Republican candidacy in the next election.
The jury, made up of three women and six men, was carefully selected: to validate their participation in this delicate process (in which Donald Trump has not deigned to participate for the moment), they were asked to be able to leave aside their political beliefs and their opinion on the #MeToo movement to judge with impartiality ” the case.
” An aggressive defense »
In your account bio Chirpingthe company that Joe Tacopina belongs to sells the merits of his ” aggressive defense and its renowned clients that accompanies them in the crucial moments of their lives “. More than being aggressive, the arguments brought before the court reveal above all a ultra-sexist rhetoric aimed at overturning the blame by discrediting the words of E. Jean Carroll by any means for the benefit of an alleged political crusade, and diverting attention from Donald Trump and the facts of which he is accused.
A sexism that Donald Trump knows well, he who, for every first defense, claimed that E. Jean Carroll was not “not her type” (comprehend ” too ugly to be attacked “according to E. John Carroll’s attorney), before confusing the reporter with… his ex-wife, Marla Maples, on a photo presented to him during his sworn testimony. Luckily for him, ridicule doesn’t kill.
