New York: A judge has denied former President Donald Trump’s request to delay his April 25 trial.
According to global media reports, Donald Trump was accused of sexual assault by the former columnist of the French magazine Elle, Jeanne Carroll, which requested the postponement of the hearing.
Trump’s lawyers had appealed to U.S. District Judge Lewis Caplin in Manhattan court to postpone the hearing until May 23 until the effects of the biased media coverage Trump has received as a result of the previous allegations have subsided, so that the client can receive a fair trial. Trial can be found.
Judge Lewis Caplin said in a written ruling that E.Jean Carroll’s case is unrelated to Trump’s previous lawsuit, which accused Trump of misusing campaign funds.
The judge said on the negative media coverage that the media coverage against Trump is based on Trump’s own public statements. He also said that it is not fair for Mr. Trump to promote himself before the trial and then claim that the media gave him biased coverage.
