Former President Donald Trump's lawyers won't be allowed to tell jurors next week that he'd like to testify at a rape trial but might decide against it because he wants to spare New York City from logistical burdens posed by his presence, a federal...
“Mr. Trump is free to attend, to testify, or both. He is free also to do none of those things,” Judge Lewis A. Kaplan wrote in an order five days before the start of a civil trial.
Trump has said the encounter never happened and Carroll was trying to stoke sales of a 2019 memoir when she first publicly claimed that the two of them ended up in a dressing room after a chance encounter and a playful interlude. Trump attorney Joe Tacopina asked Kaplan on Wednesday to instruct the jury at the trial that Trump’s absence was intended to spare New York City and the court system from the logistical burdens his presence would entail.
In his order, the judge noted that Trump announced earlier this week that he’ll speak at a campaign event in New Hampshire on April 27, the third day of the scheduled trial.
