Mod: Apparently Donald is so far beyond his freshness dating that he can't delay his trials any longer. Judge cites Trump's 'advanced age' as he rejects latest attempt to delay E. Jean Carroll case (Raw Storylink): A federal judge denied Donald Trump's latest attempt to delay a defamation trial with author E. Jean Carroll because he found that neither party was getting any younger.
U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan issued an order Friday denying the former president's motion to stay the case pending an appeal of a previous ruling, saying he was not required to do so and raising concerns about the ages of both the plaintiff and the defendant in the trial, reported
CNN.
“Both parties are of advanced age, and a stay of this case pending resolution of
Mr. Trump’s appeal would threaten delaying any compensation to which
Ms. Carroll might be entitled by at least several months, if not a year or more,”
Kaplan wrote.
Trump is 77 years old, while
Carroll is 79, and the judge himself is in his late 70s.
Carroll won a separate lawsuit against
Trump earlier this year under the
New York Adult Survivors Act for battery and defamation for statements he made in October, and a jury awarded her $5 million.
