Jury can see 'Access Hollywood' tape in E. Jean Carroll's rape case against Trump, federal judge rul

[douglas9]

Former President Donald Trump cannot keep E. Jean Carroll from showing a jury the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape that nearly derailed his 2016 campaign in a lawsuit accusing him of rape, a federal judge ruled.

“In this case, a jury reasonably could find, even from the ‘Access Hollywood’ tape alone, that Mr. Trump admitted in the Access Hollywood tape that he in fact has had contact with women’s genitalia in the past without their consent, or that he has attempted to do so,” Senior U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan wrote in a 23-page memorandum opinion.

Carroll has filed two lawsuits against the former president: one accusing him of defaming her in responding to her sexual assault allegations by telling reporters “she’s not my type,” and another confronting the sexual battery allegations directly under New York’s recently passed Adult Survivors Act.

In the mid-1990s, Carroll claims, Trump sexually assaulted her in a dressing room of a Bergdorf Goodman. Trial on the allegations is slated for April.

1. The Republicans' moral leader is a vile skankbag

And the G.O.P. has meekly and obediently followed him down, down, down into the skankbag sewer of liars, cheaters, traitors, and abusers.

5. Since they played this on national TV (portions of it), why the big fuss? Perhaps I'm wrong.

In any event, everyone needs to see just how scummy this idiot is.

7. It's 1st hand evidence of Trump saying

he just kisses and grabs women without their permission. Trump will have to change his tune and say it was just locker room talk.

It's what a jury believes that matters.

8. Good. The jury gets to see con-man traitortrump's confession.

The orange thing just couldn't resist bragging about his vileness.

9. That's a great piece of evidence.

I'm glad the judge saw fit to allow it.
