#EJeanCarroll v #Trump closing arguments. Thread. πŸͺ‘ 1/… #legal

Roberta Kaplan:

"You saw for yourself. E. Jean Carroll wasn't hiding anything."

Her testimony was "credible," "consistent," and "powerful."

Roberta Kaplan shows the clip of Trump's deposition video where he mixes up Carroll with Marla Maples.

2/ Kaplan:

"Mr. Trump pointed to Ms. Carroll, the woman he supposedly said was not his type." [...]He only corrected himself when his own lawyer" corrected him.

Trump "did why he always does" when caught: "He made up an excuse," saying that it was "blurry."

3/ "He grabbed her, using his words, 'by the p----.'".. shows clip of Trump saying stars "historically" grab women, "unfortunately or fortunately

"Who would say 'fortunately' to describe" an act of "sexual assault?" [...]

"He thinks stars like him can get away with it."

Robbie Kaplan on Trump skipping trial:

πŸ‘‰πŸΌ"He didn't even bother to show up in person."πŸ‘ˆπŸΌ

4/ This is all via @KlasfeldReports btw:

Robbie Kaplan on Trump's video deposition:

"In a very real sense, Trump is a witness against himself." [...]

Trump "knows what he did. He knows he sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll."

Robbie Kaplan hashes out the timeline.

Carroll said it happened while she had her TV show "Ask E. Jean," which aired between July 1994 to July 1996.

She says she wore wool dress with tights, but no coat, which provides a hint on the weather, Kaplan said.

@GottaLaff @KlasfeldReports

"In a very real sense, Trump is a witness against himself." [...]

He mostly dug his own grave.
