TL;DR Summary

Donald Trump's legal team has once again requested a mistrial in E. Jean Carroll's defamation case, alleging that she "actively deleted evidence," specifically emails containing death threats. The request comes after Carroll admitted to deleting the emails during cross-examination, prompting Trump's lawyer to argue that she violated federal rules by failing to preserve evidence. Carroll is seeking $10 million in damages for Trump's alleged defamation, but Trump's team is pushing for a mistrial or an adverse inference charge due to the evidence deletion.
