That isn't what they said. They are attempting to demand what he says in his testimony. What she said was "President Trump cannot and should not be made to testify under oath in any particular affirmative manner."



From the Article:

Carroll's legal team requested Trump be required to state on the record and under oath, "that he understands that it is established for purposes of the trial that he sexually assaulted Ms. Carroll and he spoke falsely with actual malice and lied when accusing her of fabricating her account and impugning her motives and that Mr. Trump further understands and accepts all of the limits that the Court has imposed on his testimony in this action and will conduct himself in the courtroom in accordance with those limitations."

Alina Habba responded like this:

On Sunday, in a letter to Kaplan, Habba responded to Carroll's legal team and addressed the request, as she outlined several issues she has with the proposals, and wrote that, "President Trump cannot and should not be made to testify under oath in any particular affirmative manner."

Asking him to affirm under oath that he understands the legal situation he's in isn't forcing testimony that is of consequence in the current case. It's similar to a "do you understand your situation" question.
 
In other words, Trump wants to do a campaign rally speech in the courtroom (yet again), and he will most certainly never never agree to limitations on his "first amendment" rights to spew defamatory lies and to sic his cult against his perceived "enemies".

I was only pointing out the incorrect posting in post 172 where they said "Next, he shouldn't have to testify under oath." when that was not what was said by Alina Habba. She said "President Trump cannot and should not be made to testify under oath in any particular affirmative manner."

The Prosecution should not be allowed to dictate how and what he says.

Only # 3 below says what you stated.

No, what the article says is they requested:

Trump be required to state on the record and under oath:

1.) That he understands that it is established for purposes of the trial that he sexually assaulted Ms. Carroll.

2.) He spoke falsely with actual malice and lied when accusing her of fabricating her account and impugning her motives.

3.) Mr. Trump further understands and accepts all of the limits that the Court has imposed on his testimony in this action and will conduct himself in the courtroom in accordance with those limitations.

No. All 3 of those are things that have already been legally decided by courts. They're officially established as facts.
 
He's denied the firmly established outcome of the last election, why would we expect him to admit he lost the previous court case for this, and is back in court for defamation over it?

Your points 1 & 2 had already be found per the prior trial's jury verdict determination and the judge has already ruled so. Your point 3 is pretty standard. Absolutely nothing wrong with requiring Trump to state under oath that he understands all three and will conform. Otherwise there is a real risk (probably likelihood) that Trump will cause a mistrial if he starts blurting his I am a victim BS campaign speech to the jury.

This is a civil trial. Trump does not have a right to testify. In fact he did not attend even once during the first trail. Outside of making a campaign stunt what is the importance to his presence there now? The trial should be run by the judge pursuant to the Federal Rules of Procedure, and should not be run by the whims of a litigant.

Once delaying tactics fail, Trump is apparently going to fall back on his version of the Chicago 7 tactics, at least so far.
 
^^Trump hasn't accepted that he has lost this case legally and now it is about damages. The rules are to try to get him to swear under oath that he fucking understands this and to just stop lying about it already.
How on earth is he going to get the last word and clear his name? /s

I find it cute that some folks still think pcgeek is reachable with facts and reality on most of these topics.
 
And to think, if he had the capacity to keep his idiot mouth shut, there wouldn't even be a second case.

Loser Donald had someone post 22 new defamatory tweets about Carroll while he was sitting in the courtroom.


Trump understands why he’s in court and is perfectly aware that continuing to make statements regarding Carroll is going to hurt his case. If you or I were driving down the highway at 70 miles-per-hour and saw a wall up ahead we’d slow down. Trump hits the gas. I think he knows that the more he plays the victim, the more his cult supporters love him. He’s the Messiah who is being hurt by the evil minions of darkness.
 
Guy just can't stop never stopping

 
Trump should be allowed to defame a woman he sexually assaulted without consequences is certainly an interesting take.

What would you expect from a guy that complained how women ruined his enjoyment of semen?

I see he still likes making sure I know he reads my posts. I also don't think he understands what laughing at my comment entails, he's basically admitting its true.

Sounds like a real good prospect to be president. NO IMPULSE CONTROL.
