Donald Trump testifies for less than 3 minutes in defamation trial and is rebuked by judge
He testified for under three minutes. But former President Donald Trump still broke a judge’s rules on what he could tell a jury about writer E. Jean Carroll’s sexual assault and defamation allegations, and he left the courtroom Thursday bristling to the spectators: “This is not America.”
Testifying in his own defense in the defamation trial, Trump didn’t look at the jury during his short, heavily negotiated stint on the witness stand. Because of the complex legal context of the case, the judge limited his lawyers to asking a handful of short questions, each of which could be answered yes or no — such as whether he’d made his negative statements in response to an accusation and didn’t intend anyone to harm Carroll.
But Trump nudged past those limits.
You're missing it.
He's claiming the presidency he experienced changes/colors/empowers his current and past actions.
To him, a president or former president should never be on trial for this. To him a president had ascended from crimes of the flesh.
I am all for this as a policy as long as Obama promises to murder him.
I also wouldn't mind Biden shooting him. Maybe the Republicans then change their minds about gun controll.
Enough Malarkey
Really, it should be Hilary, but life’s not always fair.
Does that mean we can charge him with crimes of the spirit? Heresy or purity charges, anyone?
