Trump's team lost in an appeal to a federal court of the E. Jean Carroll lawsuit.
'The Democrat-funded Carroll Hoax ... will continue to be appealed.'
Trump's attorneys argued for a new trial based on the claim that the jury heard improper testimony and also because they were not allowed to ask Carroll certain questions during cross-examination. Among the testimony they called improper was the infamous "Access Hollywood" tape in which Trump made comments about sexually grabbing women.
A federal appeals court panel denied both claims on Monday and reaffirmed the verdict against Trump.
"Mr. Trump’s statements in the tape, together with the testimony of Ms. Leeds and Ms. Stoynoff, establish a repeated, idiosyncratic pattern of conduct consistent with what Ms. Carroll alleged,” wrote the panel, referring to other women who had accused Trump of sexual assault.
"On review for abuse of discretion, we conclude that Mr. Trump has not demonstrated that the district court erred in any of the challenged rulings,” the panel added.
I was unable to find out who appointed the panel of judges for the Second Circuit Court of Appeals,but I suspect it was Obama mostly, and maybe Biden.
I also would like to point out to the Blaze author that Mr. Trump did NOT say he grabbed women by the calicos but rather he said when you are rich and powerful some women will LET you grab them in such an ungentlemanly manner. This is a key distinction, one I wish our side would make. It doesn't mean Trump went around with forefinger and thumb in imitation of a lobster.
Also, where was the Access Hollywood tape made? New York is a one-party consent law state, but California requires consent of both parties. AH is produced in Hollywood, although it seems likely Trump was in New York having this conversation. I have not really been able to ascertaine where Trump was when it was made. The law is clearly murky on this.
At any rate the E. Jean Carroll lawsuit was nothing but a money grab and attempt to take Trump out, and that alone warrants a new trial, one conducted outside of New York.

There's no way Trump was in that store with that floozy (yes, if she's doing this, she's a floozy), especially in the lingerie section. The fact that she can't recall the year in which this supposedly happened is reason enough for this whole thing to be thrown out of court, in my estimation. This whole case is crap!
