Trump's Legal Maneuvers in Rape Accuser's Trial
TL;DR Summary
Former US President Donald Trump is free to skip the trial over accusations he raped a writer nearly 30 years ago, but jurors will not be told his absence was meant to avoid snarled traffic and heavy security, a federal judge ruled. The judge also said it was premature to grant Trump's request that jurors be instructed that staying away "by design, avoids the logistical burdens that his presence, as the former president," would cause. Trump's accuser, E. Jean Carroll, plans to attend every day.
