Trump and his lawyers led by Alina Habba are on the verge of violating another federal court order this time in next week’s E Jean Carroll multi million dollar punitive damages case against Trump. Michael Popok of Legal AF reports on a new motion filed to get the Court to stop Trump from trying to retry the earlier case that found that he sexually assaulted E Jean Carroll before this new jury.

Michael popo legal AF it looks like Donald Trump is going to try to violate a federal court order about how the egene Carol case against him is tried next week Eugene Carol having already won her case against Donald Trump in the summer to prove that she was raped sexually assaulted and that he
Improperly denied that he had attacked her and defamed her as a result the new trial in front of a new jury Federal style is over how big of an amount of Damages how big of a check the new New York jury is going to award egene Carol
For same the same kind of statements that were made by Donald Trump when he was president for which he has no immunity put a pin in that I’ll tell you what Alina Hava did to screw that up in a minute but now we have finally it’s been outed that Donald Trump’s lawyers
Are going to try to despite the Court’s orders retry the entire case that Donald Trump never participated in the first time around he never testified he was off in Scotland playing golf threatening to testify but never even appeared day one any day of the 3-we trial for egene
Carol and they think they’re going to get a doover that they think they’re going to be able to retry whether the sexual assault the rape in the dressing room of of the Bergdorf Goodman Department Store on Fifth Avenue near Trump Tower a walking distance from his
Office and his home happened or not and it’s been clear to them from orders by judge Kaplan that they cannot try that case there is no liability case left it has already been uh determined as a matter of law by judge Kaplan in rulings over the last several months that Donald
Trump defamed as a matter of law based on the statements eege Caroll and that the only issue left is Damages for the jury very similar in that way to the Rudy julani defamation case in front of the federal court in the district of Colombia in which a jury found because
They were only looking at damages not liability because Rudy had violated court orders there and was was found in contempt and as a sanction the default judgment entered against them and they awarded Ruby Freeman and sheos $158 million that’s the marker that’s been laid down for this new jury which I
Think now the market for defamation by trumpers and Maga and those around him is way up I think it is a it is a TENS of millions of dollars if not more number that egene Carrol is going to be looking for and of course Donald Trump
Wants to now he wakes up like some sort of perverted Rip Van Winkle from his from his doze and realiz he’s got a case next week against the same person the same victim that that successfully sued him before now I want to try the liability case I want to bring in new
Witnesses and and I want to uh prove to a new jury that I didn’t do those things done that is law of the case we call it it travels with the case the judg has decided the jury will be so instructed as they Deli at the no not even
Deliberation when they are selected when the jury’s in the Box the judge is going to say welcome to this trial I’m the judge here is what you are to assume I am instructing that you assume for the purpose of your deliberation I’ve already decided Donald Trump is guilty
And liable for defamation defaming her based on these facts which will be read to the jury your sole purpose is to determine the amount of damage if any that’s been suffered by Ean Carol for intentional infliction of emotional distress by that guy Donald Trump for defamation by that guy Donald Trump and
The like that’s it so Donald Trump and his new lawyers new his uh you know loose word here uh alen habba and and Michael Mah apparently gon to take the lead they claim we’re gonna put on car Carol Martin and Donald Trump they’ve disclosed two witnesses that they want
To put on in front of this jury and so Carol Martin just to bring everybody full circle from the first trial is what we call an outcry witness it’s the person there were two of them Lisa burn bound being one and Carol Martin being the other who were friends of eege Carol
At the time and who she almost spontaneously that evening told that she had been sexually assaulted SL raped by Donald Trump in that dressing room we call that an outcry witness somebody who’s close in time contemporaneous with the tragic event the violent crime the accident or whatever and that statement
Made and the in the close proximity and time to which it is made is given sort of special status even though it’s it it is a form of what we call hearsay because it said in that moment of crisis what we call an outcry crying out to
Somebody and that person having heard it has a special quality in the evidence and in the law so two outcry Witnesses Lisa bbal I think she wrote the the Preppy Handbook and Carol Martin who is a very well-known and well beloved TV newscaster here in New York Eugene Carol
Was married to another Well well-known and beloved TV newscaster I think on a competing station she was married to John Johnson and this was Carol Martin Carol Martin was a was a um a fixture of New York media in new for you know forever you know for since I was a child
And um she also made some statements at the time that she thought that EEG Carol when she finally told people about what happened to her years after it happened that she might be crushed by um we didn’t call it Maga back then but by a trump and people that are loyal to Trump
And uh Carol Martin worried about her friend and made some comments about I wished you know version of I wished egene Carol would keep a lower profile and not be talking about these things that much well apparently they want to bring in Carol Martin to kind of crap on
Her friend e Carol but but as was pointed out in this filing today by the lawyers for egene Carol she cannot provide any relevant evidence that’s probative we use that word a lot on legal AF probative means tends to prove or disprove a fact that’s relevant to
The case it has no probative value what Carol Martin said and her and her slight criticism uh to protect her friend that egene Carol keep a lower profile has no bearing on the jury having determined the measure of defamation damages and injuries suffered by egene Carroll maybe maybe if they cross-examined her
Properly on the liability case but there is no liability case left that’s been taken away from the jury before Donald Trump even steps into the court by the judge in fact in the letter that’s now been filed on the docket just today eege Carrol’s lawyers say as follows about Miss Martin’s potential
Testimony they say defendants Council that would be medo and Haba explained that they intended to elicit from Miss Martin her personal opinion with respect to how plaintiff carried herself in the aftermath of defendants defamatory statements but they go on to say that Miss Martin’s opinion the plaintiff supposedly enjoyed aspects of the
Attention she received has no bearing on whether her reputation suffered harm in other words maybe at one time she sort of liked part of the attention that doesn’t mean her reputation wasn’t damaged regardless of the reasons why Miss Carol chose to come forward she did not implicitly consent to whatever
Defamation Mr Trump subsequently might commit that’s a finding of the court and so this lay witness this non professional or expert witness testifying about her opinion um is not helpful to the jury’s understanding of the witness’s testimony or the determination of a fact an issue it’s not probative and therefore if we
Were trying the liability case again maybe they get a shot at Carol Martin but certainly not for damages and that’s the first argument in the letter brief that was filed with judge um Kaplan what if ordinary people just like you and me could change the world with

Bucks off when you head to l.com legal and use promo code legal AF at checkout thank you Lomi for sponsoring this episode the second is um Donald Trump’s side loves this CNN interview with eege Carol she was interviewed by Anderson Cooper and during the interview which they also Lov
To clip she made a comment in response to the horrific um sexual attack on her you hear Anderson Cooper say I think most people think of rape as it’s a violent assault it it’s not and she said she interrupted she said I think most people think of rape as being sexy she’s
Not saying that she thought rape was sexy she’s saying she thinks in literature and maybe in movies they romanticize this attack on a woman and she’s saying it critically not positively people don’t associate it with the trauma of what really happens in real life when a man rapes a woman
And that’s what she’s talking about but of course they want to on the Trump’s side distort that misconstrue it victimize the victim once again she even she even ends with as Cooper says we’re going to take a quick break if you can stick around we’ll talk more on the
Other side and Carol says you’re fascinating to talk to I mean she’s just being polite to somebody that’s interested in her telling her authentic story but the argument here in the letter brief and I think will be supported by the judge is that this has no place in a jury trying to to
Determine whether she suffered damage or not and how much they want to say well she said it was sexy it’s not what she said you’d have to not only take that completely out of context you’d have to lie uh about what the comments were and tell the jury that and I don’t believe
At the end of the day that the judge is going to allow that as a proper thing to do in a damages case um the other uh aspect is that and I’ll read it from the last paragraph of the order is that finally Our concern is further compounded this is Robbie Kaplan on
Behalf of egene Carol to judge Kaplan no relation our finally Our concern is further comp compounded by the fact that we’ve not seen most of the exhibits the documents that they’re going to use that Trump will likely seek to introduce during cross-examination given defendants unwillingness to meet and confirm meaning lawyers have an
Obligation to get together and talk about things before they go running to the judge um because they won’t meaningfully meet and confer on evidentiary issues and his repeated disregard of this Court’s evidentiary orders in lit in his litigation positions in public statements including as recently as today let’s put that up
On the board you have a article a number of Articles um in which Donald Trump is quoted uh where he’s going to attack eege Carol at it’s and they keep saying it’s a defamation trial it’s not the defamation trial it’s in the Press it’s the punitive damage trial
Arising out of a finding that he did defame her I know you can’t fit all that in headline that’s why we do it here on legal AF on the minus touch Network so you know when you can cite realtime reporting in which Donald Trump is quoted as attacking the witness
Attacking the victim again you bring it to the Court’s attention and that’s what we’re seeing here they conclude the letter request with we are justifiably worried that trial will turn into an endless series of sidebars meaning you’re up with the judge with the jury out of earshot at which the court will
Need to review defense exhibits we thus raise our concerns about these issues now to get a ruling so um uh about before Trump makes a prejudicial use of any inadmissible exhibit during even the opening statement or maybe even during jury selection in the hope that the Court ruling May further deter efforts
To circumvent your prior rulings in other words judge get ready to throw the book at Donald Trump because based on our interaction and conversations with him he is going to uh do bad things we’re going to continue to follow judge judge um Kaplan rules quickly I’m sure
I’ll be doing an updated hot take on this within the next day or so including over the weekend he’s been known to do Saturday and Sunday Christmas Day orders and the like and we only we do that kind of a following of news stories at the intersection of law politics and Justice

The House may flip sooner rather than later. When the Dems return (imagine: Crocket and Moskowitz as chairs!), the timing may be profound.
rump thinks it's sexy. For his ego and narcissist love of oneself he definitely felt he owed it to himself to take it, who wouldn't want him all over them. Pity the younger kids trying to stop …😮
Diaper Don is a disgusting excuse for a human
Thank goodness…. Popok ❣️
Maybe the judge rules to outline contempt procedures for trump and his lawyers. Lawyer violating ruling has microphone cut off, is handcuffed and has a pretty piece of duct tape wrapped around their mouth. Judge finds him/her in contempt and offers them a choice of agreeing to follow the rules, or a $100,000 fine and the rest of that court day in prison. If the remaining lawyers want to try that game, their fine is doubled successively. If they accept the rules, no problem. Same for trump. He goes off the rails, he's escorted out with the duct tape "gag" where he can be photographed on his way to a jail cell. Can remain indefinitely until willing to follow the rules…
Love every person on your network.
Each video is clear and has facts!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The more this ensues, the more it seems like the Godfather. I wouldn’t even be surprised if one of the judges got a head on her desk. Also, love your humor Michael!
I don't like Donald Trump. I don't like his lawyers. There, I said it.
Glad Americans are hurting Trump where it really hurts him, MONEY. Can we get any proof ,that he pays any of these innocent people .
❤
2001 illegal wire taps . No warnt on wire taps. 2016 Due process violation.
Whatever. The mind loss is obviously for sleepy Joe. This guy sounds like a buffoon. We need to stop this fake garbage attempting to mislead the people of our nation. It’s been a witch hunt from the beginning. We aren’t as stupid as these people assume. Wake up America.
Never vote trump he's insane and old
Can we just have an "Alina Habba Screw-up Channel?" There would be daily material to discuss, without a doubt!
I hope this Judge realizes that fining Trump $5,000 is like fining him a Nickel, compared to his net worth. In one of the trials that happened and for Trump it's hardly a disincentive.
Facebook news has corrupted society. The stuff people will believe is embarrassing.
Trump lawyers know that the stupid Trump followers do not understand the real situation while they push their lies and false narrative to them. They know Trump is liable in court. They know any new attempts rejected by court can be used to push false narrative to the republican voters. Keep raising money for Trump. Trump lawyers keep getting paid by Trump (his supporters) etc.
He doesn't care. He will just whine on trying to get his way. He's worse than a toddler. Trouble is no one will tell him no , his lawyers are just sycophants.
Put
Him
In
A
Cell

Limi is a scam it dosen work
Alina Habba is not a lawyer. The only reason why she is spewing BS for trump – – – –
she can suck the chrome off a trailer hitch.
Anyman found guilty of RAPE , NEEDS to go to jail , this includes Trump !
The mainstream press needs to get better!
Can the judge ban all "evidence" that has not been cleared? And make the punishment bad enough to stop them?
How abhorrent that anyone would make light of that poor woman’s trauma. I have so much respect for her strength. The creep deserves to be jailed for not only this disgusting act but for so many things. If no jail time, then take away what’s most important to him
Everybody in America knows that except the Trump team it seems.
Is it possible for DJtRump to further defame people when on the witness stand? Maybe likely?
The malignant criminal narcissist known as trump will soon be given what he knows he deserves. Prison. He knows no other way to do business. The DOJ knows this and they, too have sworn an oath to uphold the law and it is not debatable. Running and winning is not the issue. Holding public office after inciting an insurrection is. Let him run and if he wins, then he will see what America does to insurrection leaders.
Where are you
OK, I see the judgement that Trump committed the assault. However, the first trial was about the defamation done after Trump was out of office. I thought this trial now is about when Trump committed (1) defamation while he was president and (2) the defamation done right after the jury judgement of the first trial.
Finally caught the 🐀in his Own Trap🆘
Just disbarre these lawyer's already.
Good luck on nailing Trump! He is constantly unaccountable! Can’t someone get him??????? Everyone is looking unqualified!
If the Traitor-in-Chief was a Disney character, he’d be Scar in The Lion King.
Why? Because they both refused to give up falsely-gained power. Then, they both threatened and thereafter used violence, by a mob of blind and misled followers, to remain in power!
May, the Orange Blob end up just like Scar…exposed for who and what he is, defeated, and held to account!

Play stupid stuff get stupid prizes
I am sure the judge will be very accommodating for E Jean Carroll as he has no allusions of what Trump might pull to keep the $$ down.
I hope they throw the book at him and give her even more than she's asking for. Maybe then the others that have accused him of rape and molestation, (some of these women were literally children at the time of the attacks) will feel better about coming forward and choose to take him to court and sue him for punitive damages related to the trauma they suffered related to the sexual assault they claim happened to them at the hands,(and other body parts which we won't mention here because frankly I don't want to make myself sick thinking about anything that disgusting and repulsive.. At least one woman was only 14 years old at the time of the alleged rape,(it just kills me to say alleged when we all know that he did it) that occurred at trump's penthouse apartment at trump tower in New York City. This monster has to date been the literal personification of the Teflon Don. He has taken whatever he wants with no repercussions for any of his heinous actions and inactions which have caused injury, trauma and even death to innocent people whose lives he ruined just because he could. Even Al Capone ended up having to pay eventually and I don't understand how so many people who call themselves Christians can victimize the victims or trivialized the trauma resulting from his lack of concern for the damage he has done and I believe he actually did many of the most horrible of his crimes with actual malicious intent and forethought and full knowledge of the damage which could and probably would result from his callous disregard for others in his pursuit of his own satisfaction and greed. I'm speaking of actions, many far more varied and dangerous than some of the cases of criminal actions that many of you may be thinking of considering the topic of this video. He is a reprehensible creature that seeks constantly to soothe the damaged little child that he really is. For that I could almost feel sorry for him. BUT….. Many of us have damaged children inside of us that we do the best we can to deal with and get past but donald doesn't even see others as having any kind of importance other than what they can do for him or what they can do to soothe him and stroke his fragile ego, however temporarily and he does whatever he thinks necessary to achieve some shallow sense of validation and worth while at the same time unable to see the trauma that he is inflicting on others just as his daddy inflicted trauma on him. He makes no effort to deal with his own issues but resorts to damaging others, particularly women, with little to no concern for their trauma at his hands because you see he doesn't see anyone else as having any value and basically as less than human because in trump's world the only ego worth soothing is his own. Every other person on Earth has no value other than what they can do for him and he doesn't concern himself with the feelings of anyone other than himself because in his mind no one else has value and no one else even matters. It's only himself that has any value and it's almost as if he sees himself as being so far above the unwashed masses that it's almost as if he sees himself as doing them a favor by using them to service his needs. For that alone I have zero pity for his damaged inner child. Frankly it would have been better for mankind as a species if he had been aborted and never allowed to be born. Just think about how different the world would be if no one had ever had to suffer at the hands of this monster. Think of the hundreds of thousands of people who would probably be alive today if not for him deciding that such a high death toll was justifiable to accommodate his need for power and control and his complete lack of empathy and compassion for the suffering of others. They were little more than collateral damage necessary to protect the only person who matters himself. For that reason alone I could hate him but there's just way too many other reasons to even begin to list here. If there truly is a God in heaven surely he would punish him and save innocent people from this monster. As far as I'm concerned I really see no reason why he's even allowed to walk among decent human beings. If I could I would love to be the judge in his stolen documents case because they still execute traitors don't they? I would hand down the death penalty in a New York Minute and be there to watch him be eradicated from the planet and rejoice at the final justice that would be. He's a monster. A convicted rapist, a convicted fraud/thief, a proven liar who's lies have caused hundreds of thousands of people their very lives. I could go on and on and on and on but everyone knows what he is guilty of. Even his cult members know deep down inside. But they love him because he gives them permission to indulge the evil inside them. I'm sorry I didn't mean to give into my own feelings of hatred and malice but that's a sign of true evil when you can make otherwise decent people who try their very best to be empathetic to everyone's trauma and be a healing force for others tune into a dark place in my heart that I never knew existed. I can say with all honesty that I have never hated anyone in my life until trump came along. But then again I don't think I have ever faced an EVIL anything like this before. He's a dangerous person who's only saving grace is that he is as stupid as he is EVIL. But rarely that can be an even more dangerous combination. And trump is that rare combination of idiot and evil that is rarely seen outside of the worst serial killers in history. And to be honest you know that the possibility that he has done something like that is pretty damn high. I wish I could do something about him other just cast a vote but I'm an old lady who has rarely even traveled outside of the state I was born in. But I can pray. And I struggle with the prayers I've been coming to God with concerning that creature. Why can't the fat old fart with the horrible eating habits and lack of any sort of exercise besides sex,( and I doubt he's actually doing anything along those lines anymore. I'm absolutely positive that Melania hasn't been giving him any for a long time now. Maybe the Habba chick? Nah not even that moron is that desperate) anyway why can't he do the whole world a favor and go ahead and have that massive coronary event that everyone knows is in the fat orange bastards future and do it now? I might be old but I swear I would dance a jig on his freaking grave.
