An attorney for Donald Trump said he will not call any witnesses in his defense of E. Jean Carroll's defamation lawsuit, which includes a rape allegation, meaning the jury should get to decide the case early next week.

Trump attorney Joseph Tacopina told the court that health issues would prevent an expert witness in psychiatry from testifying; Tacopina said earlier in the trial that Trump himself would not testify.

  1. Trump is the greatest president we have ever had. I can see why the establishment wants him gone.
    If I was a crook I’d want Trump gone as well.
    TRUMP 2024 !!!

  2. Good luck to Ms. Carroll, let’s move forward! That photo was a stunning beauty of Ms.Carroll!

  3. What’s the evidence in this case? I haven’t found anything detailing what is actually on record.

    1. Well she told Don Lemon that she wouldn’t even categorize the event as a sexual assault… so if the body language experts in the audience said to rest the case without Trump hitting the stand this case could go either way.

    1. It’s an anonymous jury. So, either you’re lying or you broke the law by somehow obtaining their identities. I’m guessing….liar.

    2. @T.D. Herrington
      Anonymous Jury where? In what state?
      In what city? Leaned on by whom?
      Does Tara reade get a jury?

  4. Everyone worldwide misses President Trump and his America first policies.
    By helping the United States, President Trump was helping the whole world.
    If the Nobel Peace Prize was legit, President Trump would have several of them.
    We need more Trump and Trump-like people 2024!

  5. That video from the the 2022 deposition is hilarious. Trump straight says, “Wouldn’t do you either.” This is why I voted for him.

  6. Love this man, he’s the greatest of all time and the more the media goes after him, he looks better and better

    1. Fr, i particularly liked the part where he couldn’t distinguish his ex wife from a different person entirely 😂.

    2. @This is fine You can’t distinguish between a man and a woman. So you and Trump are both a bit confused.

  7. Trump investigation cafe, today’s special, nothing burger. Nothing sticks to the Teflon Don. The swamp is the coyote and Trump is the roadrunner. Beep! Beep!
