Trump Requests Mistrial in E. Jean Carroll Lawsuit and Battery Case.

Donald Trump's lawyers have requested a mistrial in his civil battery and defamation trial, alleging that the judge has made "pervasive unfair and prejudicial rulings" against him. E. Jean Carroll is suing the former president, alleging he raped her in the 1990s and then defamed her when she came forward in 2019. Trump has denied the allegations. Carroll testified last week that "Donald Trump raped me, and when I wrote about it, he said it didn't happen." Trump's attorney Joe Tacopina asked that the judge dismiss the lawsuit or "correct the record for each and every instance in which the Court has mischaracterized the facts of this case to the Jury" and "allow the Defendant's counsel to have greater latitude to cross-examine Plaintiff and her witnesses."
