Trump's lawyer faces setbacks in E. Jean Carroll rape trial.

TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump's lawyer, Joe Tacopina, cross-examined E. Jean Carroll, who accused Trump of rape, on Thursday, attempting to discredit her by highlighting where her memory has failed. Tacopina's line of questioning drove home the challenges Carroll may face in convincing the jury of her story. The outcome in this case will depend on whether the jurors considering these questions are willing to give Carroll the benefit of the doubt—whether they find her more trustworthy than they do Trump, even if some key details are fuzzy.
