Attorneys for Trump accuser E. Jean Carroll ask court to keep DOJ from defending case
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/attorneys-for-trump-accuser-e-jean-carroll-ask-court-to-keep-doj-from-defending-case/ar-BB1fJU1q?ocid=msedgntpIn a nutshell. Elle columnist E. Jean Carroll accuses Donald Trump of making a sexual assault back in the 1990’s. Trump denies this and claims he never had sexual relations with her, never met her and she really was not his type. Ms. Carroll claims she has a black dress with Trump’s DNA on it.
Determining the truth is simple. Compare Trump’s DNA with the DNA on the dress.
If Ms. Carroll refuses, for any reason, to submit the black dress for DNA analysis, then I will conclude that she is lying. If Trump refuses, for any reason, to give a sample of his blood for DNA analysis, then I will conclude Trump is lying.
My guess of the probable truth? Ms. Carroll is very credible. I think she is telling the truth and Trump is lying. What is likely to happen? Trump will refuse to hand over a DNA sample. Better to have millions think you are lying than to have millions know you are lying and having it scientifically proven you are lying.
It should be noted that Trump has foolishly painted himself into a corner. A common rapist’s defense is to admit that, yes, they did have a sexual encounter, but it was by mutual consent. DNA tests can never determine the truth or falsehood of that. But by saying he never had sexual relations with her, he never met her, she was not really his type, he has made a major mistake, if guilty. A pattern of believing he can get away with any lie may have gotten him into trouble.
The Department of Justice, under the Trump administration, has been defending Trump from his charge. President Biden should put a stop to that. This charge was not related to any actions he took as part of his Presidential duties. He should have to defend himself like any other private individual.
