Judge Demands Answer: Will Trump Attend Rape Trial?

A federal judge has ordered parties in the E. Jean Carroll rape case to notify him by April 20 whether they will be present throughout the trial, scheduled to start April 25 in Manhattan federal court. The judge also rejected a request that names of anonymous jurors be released to lawyers, saying Trump’s latest public statements about a criminal case against him in state court show jurors might be harassed if their identities got out. Trump's lawyers did not respond to requests for comment on Kaplan’s order.
