Trump Given Deadlines to Produce DNA in E. Jean Carroll's Defamation Lawsuit

[RandySF]

President Donald Trump was given a series of deadlines to produce his DNA and other evidence as part of mandatory discovery in an ongoing defamation lawsuit on Monday.

E. Jean Carroll is an author and Elle advice columnist who accused the 45th president of raping her sometime in late 1995 or early 1996. She initially made that accusation—one of over 20 sexual assault allegations against Trump—during the summer of 2019. Trump later denied the accusation in an interview with The Hill and Caroll subsequently sued for defamation in New York.

A letter sent by Carroll’s attorneys notes that prior deadlines for the production of the DNA evidence were put on hold by an appeals court pending the outcome of a decision in a similar case filed by former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos–who alleged that Trump sexually assaulted her in 2007.

“As a result of that decision, the relevant deadlines in the Court’s Preliminary Conference Order dated December 12, 2020 are no longer ‘temporarily stayed,” the letter sent to Trump attorney Marc Kasowitz notes. “This letter sets forth our understanding of the current status of this case and discovery in this case as a result of the Court’s recent decision.”

1. Hey Donnie, feeling a little more sympathetic for Bill Clinton these days?

Sometimes they keep "the dress."

[Baitball Blogger]

2. This is getting juicy.

[jimfields33]

3. December 20th deadline?

That seems like a long time from now.

[Fullduplexxx]

7. Yea wtf by that time there will be another lawsuit working it's way through the court

[jimfields33]

11. Yep. Trump is being treated like a king!

[Gothmog]

4. Yeah

5. December 2020

why is he given such a long time?

[justgamma]

6. He's got to find the right hooker first? n/t

[GoCubsGo]

8. Better make 100% sure that it comes from him, too.

I wouldn't put it past him to substitute someone else's DNA, if given the chance.

[edhopper]

10. One hopes

the plaintiff has people to collect the DNA.

[lame54]

13. He'll use Jr's...

And they'll trace it a bunch of even worse crimes

[Mr.Bill]

9. He will ignore the deadline.

The Supreme Court will have a ruling on this in June of 2023.

[lame54]

12. Not a chance

[CTyankee]

14. Um, may I ask what kind of DNA sample are they requesting from him?

Is it just spitting in a cup or something more extensive?

[rickford66]

15. It had better be witnessed.

[CTyankee]

16. Well, if he has to have blood drawn there will be a phlebotomist as a witness...

[NCjack]

24. Don't take hair from his head -- it isn't his.

[usaf-vet]

17. My understanding is that every one who joins the military has a DNA profile taken and stored.....

..... in the event a body needs to be ID.

Why can't this simple standard be applied to every elected official starting with President Biden? Hell, he could give the sample the same day he hands over 8 years of his tax returns.

This needs to be codified into a law for all future individuals who want to QUALIFY to run for POTUS.

[pnwmom]

26. Biden has ALREADY made public his tax returns. He released them as Vice President,

and he's released the past three years as well.

I disagree that he should have to submit to a DNA test. Soldiers do that so they can be identified in a battlefield. That reason is strong enough to outweigh a person's right to privacy.

[usaf-vet]

33. I should have add the following label.....

As a former military medic, I know exactly why they have DNA samples.

And I know Biden has already turned over his tax returns.

You didn't disagree when I said, President Biden.

I can think of at least one reason to have a POTUS DNA. Probably for the same reason the Secret Service doesn't want the president, VP, and speaker of the house all in the same place at once.

A catastrophic event. Which, I hope we never have. But never say never as Gramma used to say.

And finally, why should the C.I.C. be any different than the troops he/she commands. If he/she wants their privacy simple.

Don't run for POTUS. That is a choice.

[DENVERPOPS]

18. Good luck, it's a waste of time

The lab that Trump's lawyers insist on do the testing will be owned by a major Trump/RepubliCON donor........

[George II]

19. I'd rather handle a vat of Covid germs than trump's DNA.

[Captain Zero]

20. Probably one and the same

nt

[progressoid]

21. What is the DNA for?

Does she have something with his DNA on it?

[George II]

23. Apparently the plaintiff has clothing a la "the blue dress" of Lewinsky.

[C Moon]

22. Since when does that guy listen to the law? What are they going to do about it?

[Evolve Dammit]

25. It will never happen. He will die before this is adjudicated

[blueinredohio]

27. It will be alien DNA.

[kskiska]

28. I'm sure Mary Trump will give a DNA sample

She's got his DNA.

[rickford66]

31. Ding, ding ding.

Monkey business prevention.

[spanone]

29. 20 bucks says he ignores it.

[Tommymac]

30. Very Interesting.

[GeorgiaPeanut]

32. Either way, it is politically dangerous to Trump

If he stalls or refuses, every independent out there will know that he is guilty.

A population is now educated thanks to CSI, Frensic Files and Law and Order ... they know that only guilty people refuse to provide the DNA because if one is innocent, the DNA would exonerate.
