Trump finally offers to hand over DNA to E Jean Carroll rape case - after deadline passes to submit

Source: AOL News

Donald Trump has finally offered to hand over his DNA in his upcoming rape trial with E Jean Carroll – but only after the deadline passed to submit evidence in the case.

Attorneys for the former president said last week that he had finally agreed to take a DNA test so that his sample can be compared to a dress Ms Carroll says she was wearing at the time of the alleged sexual assault, reported The Daily Beast.

Ms Carroll, who was a TV talk show host at the time, claims that Mr Trump raped her in a dressing room in high-end Manhattan department store Bergdorf Goodman in 1996.

Ms Carroll kept the Donna Karan black coat dress she said she was wearing at the time – and the now-infamous item lies at the centre of her case against the one-term president.

Suspect he thinks his offer will be rejected. I'd love to see that it isn't. I also hope that someone on the receiving end of this makes sure the DNA isn't someone else's. It'd be just like the Orange Dumpf to pull a fast one here.

I wouldn't put it past him that some other expert person told him of a way to beat the system. To smuggle in something or a way to switch it out. Or compromise it someway to alter it. I know Putin has a lot of experience with how he grifted the Olympics urine testing officials.

Raping someone in a dressing room in a large department store is very bold
and confident. It is not a first time offense.

Yes he knew Epstein, and Epstein was not holding bible lessons for his clients.

I would say many victims, young ones.

We know Trump liked the young girls from beauty pageants.

But Jean Carrol was older at the time of rape, so Trump was opportunistic
and raped when and who he wanted.

Actively is destroying US democracy.
Partnered with Putin to be installed into the WH.

The list goes on and on.
And people love him.

Maybe she got some DNA from Mary Trump to make sure.

If she's going to push DNA on her dress, it would be pretty nasty for Trump's defense if it checks out because his denials of not knowing her would go up in smoke along with him twice mistakenly identifying her as his ex-wife after maintaining she wasn't his type.

Trump evading providing the DNA evidence makes it look worse.

A positive DNA match is not going to go well for Trump in the media.

This is a civil case - preponderance of the evidence - more likely than not, greater than 50% chance to be true. It is not the higher bar of beyond reasonable doubt.

He stole pallets of top secret documents and then refused to hand them over until the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago. Is he in jail for that? Nope.
