Judge admonishes Trump for pre-testimony post in Carroll rape case.
TL;DR Summary
The judge in the civil trial of former US President Donald Trump for alleged battery and defamation rebuked him for an "entirely inappropriate" statement on his social media platform, Truth Social, shortly before the testimony of E Jean Carroll, the advice columnist suing him for rape. Carroll's suit includes claims that Trump previously defamed her by publicly calling her case a "hoax", "scam", "lie" and "complete con job". The trial will decide on the balance of probabilities whether Trump raped Carroll and then defamed her, and award damages if so.
