Trump’s next trial: E. Jean Carroll seeks $10M in defamation case

 Trump’s next trial: E. Jean Carroll seeks $10M in defamation case
by Zach Schonfeld - 01/16/24 8:00 AM ET

Fresh off his runaway win in the nation’s first 2024 presidential nominating contest, the next phase of former President Trump’s courtroom chronicles will begin Tuesday as a jury convenes to determine how much Trump must pay for defaming a longtime advice columnist.

Last year, a jury concluded Trump sexually abused the columnist, E. Jean Carroll, in the mid-1990s at a New York City department store and later defamed her, awarding Carroll $5 million. Trump vehemently denies her story.

Now, Carroll is taking Trump to civil trial again. This time, she seeks at least $10 million in damages for Trump’s denials when the former “Elle” columnist first came forward publicly with her claims in 2019.

Trump has already been found liable in the case, so the trial, expected to last upwards of one week, will only be held to determine how much Trump must pay.

Habba: You said you receive death threats daily - but you deleted then until trial? Explain what you mean.
Judge Kaplan: Explain what she means by what?
Habba: When did you stop deleting death threats?
Carroll: I had not received how many there were.
Habba: Did you receive a subpoena?
Carroll: Yes.
Habba: Did you know you had a discovery obligation?
Carroll: They were just replies, slime...
Habba: What about messages in your inbox, did you delete them?
Carroll: No.
Habba: So you have the death threats?
Carroll: I deleted them.
Habba: So you-
Carroll's lawyer: Asked and answered.
Habba: This is a very important question
Carroll's lawyer: I object to the commentary too
Carroll: I may have deleted some emails too, I'm not sure
Habba: Did you give them to your lawyers?
Carroll: No.
Habba: Why not?
Carroll: I don't want to upset them
...
Habba: Ms. Carroll, are you aware it is illegal to delete evidence?
Carroll's lawyer: Objection
Habba: I move for a mistrial, evidence has been deleted
Judge Kaplan: Denied and the jury will disregard everything Ms. Habba just said

But what will the greaseball demonstrably biased judge do about it?

I would think that evidence of death threats on her email would help her case that it would motivate her to keep them. But that’s just me.

Alina Habba Scolded on 'Evidence 101' During Court Showdown

Kate Plummer  |  Jan 19, 2024 at 4:39 AM EST

lina Habba, the lawyer representing Donald Trump in his E. Jean Carroll damages trial, was scolded by the judge during a court session on Thursday.

Habba, who previously worked in real estate law before becoming part of Trump's legal team, is representing the Republican in the second defamation trial brought against him by Carroll. In May 2023, the journalist was awarded $5 million in damages after a jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming the former Elle columnist. The former president has denied sexually assaulting Carroll at the Bergdorf Goodman department store in New York in the 1990s.

Carroll's lawyers are seeking another $10 million in compensatory damages and "substantially more" after the former president continued to deny the accusations that he assaulted her, claiming he had no idea who she is and that Carroll was not his "type." In May, Trump called Carroll's account "fake" and labeled her a "whack job" during a CNN town hall broadcast. In early September, Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled that Trump's comments against Carroll were defamatory.

Commentators have criticized Habba for her court performance since the trial started, accusing her of making mistakes.  .  .

Donald Trump Complains His Lawyer Gave Him 'Not Good Advice'

James Bickerton  |  Dec 08, 2023  |  5:45 AM EST

Donald Trump hit out at one of his own lawyers over the advice he says he received in the civil sexual assault case brought against him by writer E. Jean Carroll, in a post on his Truth Social website on Thursday.

In May, a New York jury found the former president liable for sexually abusing Carroll in the Bergdorf Goodman department store during the mid-1990s and then defaming her character once the accusation became public. Trump, who continues to strongly deny the claims against him, was ordered to pay $5 million in compensation and punitive damages.

Trump did not appear before the New York court in person despite at one point telling journalists he "probably" would attend. This was used against the former president by Carroll's lawyer Mike Ferrara  .  .  .

Yet this same lawyer continues to represent him.  She already cost him $5 million.  Maybe another $10 million?

Alina Habba's 5 Worst Horror Show Moments in Court

Ewan Palmer    Jan 18, 2024  |  8:49 AM EST

Donald Trump's lawyer Alina Habba has been criticized for her performance in court on Wednesday during the defamation civil trial proceedings involving the former president and E. Jean Carroll.

Habba, who previously worked in real estate law before becoming part of Trump's legal team, was repeatedly condemned by the judge overseeing the case between Trump and the former Elle columnist for failing to follow basic judicial procedures.

At one point, Habba was sternly told by U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan to "sit down" as the pair argued in the court. She was also scolded for trying to introduce evidence that could not be overseen by the judge, or not properly submitted to the court.  .  .
