Donald Trump Rape Case To Continue This Week as Ex-POTUS's Lawyers Complain About Limits to Trump Testimony
Another costly legal battle is awaiting former President Donald Trump this week as he is expected to pay even more damages to former Elle Magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll, who won the rape case against him, with it now being established as a fact that he did indeed sexually assault her inside a New York department store.
The former president will once again stand on trial on Tuesday over additional damages he might receive after once again defaming her during a CNN Town Hall right after he lost the case that established that he sexually assaulted E, Jean Carroll.
Because the court has already established the sexual assault as fact, Donald Trump cannot dispute the facts of the case, which will now only focus on the scale of the damages that the former writer is levying against him, according to The Guardian.
Donald Trump may attend the hearing on Tuesday and may once again turn the trial into a circus by continuing his rhetoric of being politically persecuted without establishing facts or backing up his arguments with evidence,
"I've never met this person in my life. She is trying to sell a new book - that should indicate her motivation. It should be sold in the fiction section," he continued to claim amid evidence being previously presented in court that they, in fact, knew each other.
During the previous trial, Carroll debunked claims by the former president that she was not his type after he mistook her for his second wife, Marla Maples. Photo evidence of the two interacting in parties have also been presented.
Donald Trump Defense Team Not Happy With Judge Limiting His Testimony During Latest Rape Trial
Meanwhile, Trump attorneys continue to argue that their client "should not be forced to testify as to his own guilt or face strict warnings about crossing red lines" should he choose to testify during this latest rape hearing, according to Reuters.
Trump has been known to go into tangents or to turn his testimonies into campaign speeches, and the judge has ruled that to prevent this, he must only stick to the facts.

Carroll's lawyers are in support of this and added that the former president " should be required to state out of the jury's presence that he understands he assaulted her and should be warned against disobeying court orders limiting what he can say."
"It would be a manifest injustice to require President Trump to proffer his guilt, under oath, for acts that he maintains did not occur" argued Trump lawyer Alina Habba. However, she added that her client would be free to testify about the context in which he made his remarks about Carroll as evidence despite having limits set on his testimony.
Donald Trump Nemesis George Conway Says He Is Happy He Is Admitted Into Evidence in Rape Case
This latest trial will include new evidence being presented, with one vocal Donald Trump critic being all too happy about being mentioned in one of the court documents.
George Conway, a former Republican and former husband of Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, took to X to announce it, writing, "SOME PERSONAL NEWS-I am pleased to announce that, once again, I will be admitted into evidence by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. I wish to thank the Court, the litigants, @ejeancarroll and @realDonaldTrump, and their counsel for their confidence in my probative value and pledge I will do my utmost to live up to this honor. Thank you."
That document stated, "This does not foreclose Mr. Trump from eliciting testimony that the idea of suing Mr. Trump crystallized in Ms. Carroll's mind as a result of a conversation at a party with George Conway, a Republican lawyer who 'does not like Mr. Trump,' and that Mr. Conway then introduced her to a lawyer."
