BREAKING: On the eve of former President Donald Trump’s rape trial in New York, attorneys for alleged victim E. Jean Carroll are trying to keep one thing secret: Who’s paying for the lawsuit.
On the eve of former President Donald Trump’s rape trial in New York, attorneys for alleged victim E. Jean Carroll are trying to keep one thing secret: Who’s paying for the lawsuit.
While Carroll initially testified behind closed doors that no one was paying her top-notch New York City lawyers, those attorneys only recently told Trump’s team the truth: it’s the Silicon Valley billionaire who’s paying the bills. A federal judge promptly allowed Trump’s lawyers to grill Carrol again on Thursday, when she apparently revealed more details about the payment arrangement.
Carroll accuses Trump of raping her in the changing room of a luxury department store some 35 years ago. Her attorney, Roberta Kaplan, argued that jurors have no business knowing who’s financially supporting the lawsuit, citing court precedent that says the circumstances of who’s paying the legal bills “has nothing directly to do with the ultimate merits” of a case.
But Kaplan also expressed deep concern that exposing these details just days before the trial, which is set to start on Tuesday, could cause irreparable damage—to Carroll.
