Trump’s lawyer Joe Tacopina began his cross-examination of E. Jean Carroll today. It does not appear to have gone well for him.

Cross-examination of Carroll and her other witnesses is Trump’s entire defense. In this he said/she said case, “he” is not testifying in Court, so if Carroll does well in cross, Trump loses.

Here are some excerpts:

x Tacopina asks about Carroll "supposedly" being raped by Trump



Carroll: "Not 'supposedly,' I was raped."



Tacopina: "That's your version."



Carroll: "Those are the facts." — Adam Klasfeld (@KlasfeldReports) April 27, 2023

Tacopina tries use Carroll not screaming during the incident:

x Tacopina says he's not beating up on her. He's just asking questions.



"I'm telling you," she says, nearly shouting the remark that follows: "He raped me, whether I screamed or not."



"I don't need any excuse for not screaming." — Adam Klasfeld (@KlasfeldReports) April 27, 2023

Based on Tacopina’s TV appearances and what I’ve read today, I’m going out on a limb to guess the jury won’t like him very much.
