Judge Denies Trump's Bid To Delay Civil Rape Trial
(New York, New York) - A judge denied Donald Trump's bid for a four-week delay in the civil rape and defamation trial against him. Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina asked U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in a letter last week to postpone the trial in the lawsuit brought by E. Jean Carroll, scheduled to start April 25, until the end of May. Tacopina argued that his client should be allowed a "cooling off" period after his recent indictment.
