Trump’s lawyers are arguing — you guessed it — that he's being treated unfairly.
enters its second week. Joe Tacopina filed the request early Monday morning, arguing that Judge Lewis Kaplan has made “pervasive unfair and prejudicial rulings” against the former president.
Tacopina added that the trial, which began in New York City last week, is already “replete with numerous explains of Defendant’s unfair treatment by the Court.” He wants the court to “correct the record for each and every instance in which the Court has mischaracterized the facts of this case to the jury.”
Carroll, a writer who says Trump raped her in a department store dressing room in the ’90s, has sued the former president for both defamation, in response to his attacks against her after she made the accusation in 2019,“I’m here because Donald Trump raped me,” she said on Wednesday. “When I wrote about it, he said it didn’t happen. He lied and shattered my reputation, and I’m here to try and get my life back.”when Tacopina cross-examined her a day later.
Tacopina continued to press her, asking why she didn’t scream during the assault. “I’m not a screamer,” she replied. “You can’t beat up on me for not screaming.” She then took Tacopina to task for the question. “Women don’t come forward,” she said. “One of the reasons they don’t come forward is because they’re always asked, ‘Why didn’t you scream?’ I’m telling you, he raped me whether I screamed or not.
In the mistrial request, Tacopina alleged Judge Kaplan was siding with Carroll by sustaining objections to Tacopina’s lines of questioning. Judge Kaplan deemed some of Tacopina’s questions “argumentative,” questions Tacopina alleged in the request are “well-established and accepted” ways to cross-examine a witness.

Georgia's Kemp veers from Trump, but state GOP not moving onGeorgia Gov. Brian Kemp is trying to steer the Republican Party away from Donald Trump and his 2020 election lies, but his state party shows little interest in moving on. At local party meetings last weekend, Republicans in a coastal Georgia district elected a chairperson who denies the legitimacy of her primary loss to Kemp last year, and in metro Atlanta, Republicans considered a resolution rejecting Trump's 2020 defeat. A frustrated Kemp and some allied statewide officials say they won't attend the state party's June convention. Georgia is among the states where Trump-aligned Republicans have joined the ranks of party leadership, but mounting electoral losses raise questions about whether they're out of step with voters.
