"Trump's Renewed Mistrial Request in E. Jean Carroll Defamation Case Raises Legal Stakes"

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.

"Trump's Attorney Renews Request for Mistrial in E. Jean Carroll Defamation Case"

Donald Trump's legal team has requested a mistrial in the ongoing defamation trial brought by E. Jean Carroll, alleging that she spoiled evidence by deleting emails containing death threats. Carroll, who previously won a separate lawsuit against Trump, testified that she received daily death threats and deleted them from her inbox and social media replies. Trump's lawyers argue that this deletion of evidence undermines her claim for damages. The judge has yet to rule on the mistrial request.
