18. A Federal Judge Has Gone to Great Lengths to Make Clear Trump Really Did Rape E. Jean Carroll

Reply to MLWR (Reply #6)

Wed Jul 8, 2026, 01:27 PM

Wednesday

“District Judge Lewis Kaplan has said it multiple times: Donald Trump raped E. Jean Carroll in 1996. Kaplan wrote it in May 2023, when he presided over one of the trials against Trump. And he reminded jurors of the rape…”

Nitpicking Chumps rape conviction is disrespectful to Ms. Carroll and unnecessary on this forum.
