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:

👉🏼"He didn't even bother to show up in person."👈🏼

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.

5/ Carroll said it must have happened after her friend Lisa Birnbach published her piece on Mar-a-Lago, which was Feb 1996. She believes it was on a Thurs, bc the store was open late that day.

"She was trying to come to grips with the fact that she was being attacked."

Kaplan says Carroll members the attack itself in "great detail.". explains to jurors why they showed Roger Ailes' interview w Trump..noted Ailes talk show shot in same building, on same network, where Carroll's show was taped

6/ Trump would have seen the end of Carroll's show if he watched his own interview with Ailes, unless he switched it on at the exact moment, Robbie Kaplan notes.

Note: I’m going to back up and add what Matthew Russell Lee is reporting:

All rise!
Judge Kaplan: OK, jury charge.
Objection is made, and sustained, to inclusion of phrase about "ejaculate." Then finance and, Trump
Trump's lawyer Brandt wants reference to financial capacity out.
Judge Kaplan: He called himself a "star." Overruled.

7/ Judge Kaplan: Bring in the jury.
Jury entering!
Judge Kapan: I hope you enjoyed this beautiful weekend. We're going to hear closing arguments now. I anticipate two hours, the defendant a bit more, then a half hour rebuttal. We'll order lunch early

Judge Kaplan: Tomorrow morning I'll instruct you on the law, 50 minutes or an hour and ten minutes, something like that - they you'll get the case. It remains important you have no contact with the press or social media.

9/ Counsel: You haven't heard much from Donald Trump in this trial. He said, She is not my type. He repeated that in his deposition. But when showed the photo DJT 23
[deposition played]

Counsel: He pointed at Ms. Carroll and said That's Marla, my wife. This is a photo of E. Jean Carroll. Their hairdo was the same. She was exactly his type. He made up an excuse. He said it was blurry. It is not blurry

10/ Now Access Hollywood tape played: Grab them by p*ssy.
Counsel: You heard Jessica Leeds & Natasha Stoynoff say he did just that to them. W Ms Carroll he, in his words, grabbed him by the p*ssy.
[deposition about history of a star can do anything played]

Counsel: He said it was fortunate stars like him can get away w it. We had 11 witnesses. On the other side? Only Trump. He didn't even bother to show up here in person. It's not he said, she said. It's what Trump said vs all other witnesses

11/ Counsel: Trump in this trial is a witness against himself. Let me give you an ex - the doors of the dressing rooms at Bergdorf Goodman were not, as the defense claims, always locked
[Note: Inner City Press went to Bergdorf, video later with booklet]

Counsel: Mr. Carroll can't specify the date, but she has all the details. She drove to 58th and 5th Avenue. She entered on the 58th Street entrance. Through that door she saw Donald Trump. They recognized each other. He was fairly well known.

12/ Counsel: Trump called E. Jean Carroll, That advice lady. Donald Trump loves to watch TV. He saw her on TV. He knew her through Roger Ailes. Mr. Trump went to the New Jersey TV studio where Ms. Carroll taped her show

Counsel: This was before streaming and YouTube. You put the channel on. You might see a few minutes of the previous show. For Donald Trump to see himself on Roger Ailes' show, he may have seen the end of E. Jean Carroll's show

14/ Counsel: This was a combination of humor and flirting. It was a joke. Like when Ms. Carroll was a writer for SNL. Tragically things took a dark turn. Into the dressing room, the door locked. She asked herself why she went in. She feels embarrassed and stupid

At that time Trump was known as a playboy, a man about town, not a predator. But he pounced. She pushed back. She weighed 120 lb, he at least 100 lb more. She tried to hit him with her purse. Trump pinned her and pulled down her tights
