The ‘Pussy Grabber’ Is Just A Pussy: Defendant Trump Will Not Testify In His Own Defense At E. Jean Carrol Trial

Defendant Donald Trump’s 5:oo p.m. deadline to notify the trial judge if he will appear in court to testify in his own defense at the E. Jean Carrol trial has come and gone. The “pussy grabber” talks a big game but in the end he is just a pussy who will not testify in his own defense at trial because he knows that he would be disaster.

Newsweek reported, Donald Trump Judge ‘Calling His Bluff’ by Offering Chance To Testify—Lawyer:

The judge in E. Jean Carroll’s sexual battery and defamation civil trial against Donald Trump is “calling his bluff” after giving the former president a deadline to decide if he will testify in his own defense, according to a legal expert.

In court filings on Thursday, New York Judge Lewis Kaplan granted Trump until 5 p.m. on Sunday, May 7, in order to file a motion to re-open his case for the “sole purpose” of testifying as a witness in the case.

Trump has not been present throughout the civil trial involving the former Elle columnist who has accused him of sexual battery, and then defaming her character while denying that the alleged assault at a New York Bergdorf Goodman department store in the mid-1990s took place.

The former president is under no legal obligation to attend the civil trial in person, and is currently on a tour of Scotland and Ireland to visit his golf resorts. Trump’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina, recently told Kaplan that the defense would not call any witnesses as part of the civil case against Trump, including the former president.

However, Trump told reporters at a golf course he owns in Doonbeg, Ireland, on Wednesday that he will “probably” return to New York to attend the trial.

“I have to go back for a woman that made a false accusation about me, and I have a judge who is extremely hostile,” Trump said. “And I’m going to go back, and I’m going to confront this.”

Ron Filipkowski, an attorney and former federal prosecutor, said the judge is forcing Trump to make a decision rather than tease his appearance with the latest motion.

Filipkowski also suggested that it is highly unlikely that the former president will testify in the case, citing the infamous moment in the 1995 O.J. Simpson murder trial where the NFL star was asked by the prosecution team to try on a bloodied glove found at the scene of the crime, which did not fit him.

So, Trump had until 5:00 PM today to notify the court in writing if he was going to testify tomorrow like he told the Irish press. He didn’t. So what he said here was, and I know this is shocking, a total and complete lie. pic.twitter.com/ei1Un2zvBr

“No freakin way he testifies. Judge is calling his bluff,” Filipkowski tweeted. “This would be the dumbest move since the DA had OJ try on a glove that was in an evidence locker for months. Then again, we are talking about Trump, so.”

Currently, closing arguments in the case are scheduled to take place at 10 a.m. on Monday, unless Trump decides he will testify.

Tom Boggioni adds, E. Jean Carrol judge ‘called Trump’s bluff’ and forced his lawyer’s hand: former prosecutor:

Appearing on MSNBC on Sunday afternoon, former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance said Donald Trump’s attempt to set up the judge in the E. Jean Carroll trial for attacks should the jury rule against the former president blew up in his face.

Speaking with fill-in host Michael Steele, Vance said U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan effectively outmaneuvered Trump after the former president suggested he would testify before the Manhattan jury and that created a problem for Trump’s legal team.

By extending a deadline to late Sunday for Trump to commit to testify, Vance claimed the judge “called Trump’s bluff.”

“The judge has called Trump’s bluff because Trump makes this overblown statement on a golf course in Ireland, telling people I have to cut my trip short early and go back home to defend myself against these terrible allegations,” the attorney began. “Literally within hours of him doing that, his lawyer is in court, telling the judge that he is done presenting his evidence, that’s sort of a lock in a trial.”

“Once you close, everything is over, no more evidence comes in,” she continued. “Judge Kaplan, I think, does the smart thing here; he calls Trump’s bluff. He says okay, your client says he’s going to testify, he says he has to leave Europe early and fly home. I’m gonna bend over backward and give him every opportunity. And ultimately, what the judge does by doing this, and I suspect Trump will not testify, if he does, that would be an entirely different situation for his lawyers to try to deal with, but what the judge does here is he forecloses Trump’s opportunity to tell everybody what a terrible biased judge he had.”

So we’re on to closing arguments on Monday, and I believe a verdict in short order, it shouldn’t take the jury long. Trump will still complain what a terrible biased judge he had, as he has done throughout trial, because this criminal is the biggest whiner in the history of the world. Trump has taken this conservative persecution and victimhood shit to its logical extreme.
