Donald Trump wants his rape trial postponed

Former U.S. President Donald Trump wants the sexual assault and defamation trial in which he is involved, scheduled for April 25, to be postponed to a later date.

He says the public has not recovered from his April 4 fraud indictment.

Lawyers for Donald Trump asked a judge to delay the start of a sexual assault and defamation trial for one month to allow a “cooling off” period following the historic indictment charging the former president with falsifying business records. https://t.co/fSkI0SXFJZ

Trump’s lawyer argues that the intense media coverage received recently could taint the jury.

Recall that E. Jean Carroll is accusing the former president of raping her in a New York apartment in the 1990s, and she is demanding that Trump provide his DNA to prove the facts!

Trump has been denying the allegations since 2019.
