Trump lawyer: Access Hollywood tape ‘should not’ have been used in E. Jean Carroll case

We

have

Joe Takapina, Trump's

lawyer

, speaking in response to the Eugene Carroll verdict. Let's hear what he rejected, but he made all the findings, so obviously we'll appeal those other findings, but they rejected the racial payment. He would always claim some directors, so. So he's a little disconcerting, but you know we move on, he talks to Mr. Trump and what did he tell you? We are ready to do it. in New York City um based on the jury pool is still back um argued that's probably an accurate assessment based on what happened today um and uh you know again that's something you know we're way up in these elevations here. um the Access The Hollywood

tape

should

not

have

come into this

case

, some other things

should

be committed to the

case

.

I mean, we made a lot of emotions big, appeal issues and we're going to employ them now, you know, things happened in this case that were Beyond, I mean we did a Mistral motion with the child because of some of the rulings and We believe there was bias shown by the court. This ruling was already overturned once by the 2nd Circuit in Carol v. Trump and because he will be able to tour a second time, um, but in the meantime, you know, from March on, he was not found responsible for the violation and that's it, you know the fact that Reed Hoffman, the Democrat, funded your finance case and that wasn't a thing when Donald Trump was impeached. of making statements that this was a politically motivated claim and the judge wouldn't let us get into that and you know, there were a lot of problems and it was complemented not only by the judge but also by the opposing Council.

I appreciate that, I mean, look I have respect for the opposing counsel in this case, for Kaplan's great

lawyer

, his team is excellent. I appreciate you congratulating me, but you know for me it's all about the results. You know it was strange. The partner was obviously very happy that Donald Trump was no friend. in a rapist um I didn't think there should be any finding of liability so we're going to follow it we're going to do it that's what I just said about the appeal we're going to appear but she claimed the whole time that it was great for Donald Trump , what the escape is about, can you talk about that?

Yeah, this is a circus atmosphere um and having him here would be more of a circus and again what I said yesterday in the recap you know, Reigns is true, um, it's true, that's it. You know what else I could say that I didn't? I said it on the way here. You know it's hard to prove it. Molly. I could tell you stole my pen. Try it and do it. How would you test it? So you're going to do it right, I mean, that's where we are, so you know, it's very simplistic to say oh, he should have testified that he had nothing to say other than what he already said along the way, so you talked a little bit about how disconcerting it is.

The verdict was oh well, thanks, good to see you, eh, how does that factor into the appeal? The fact that you called the ring case all the time and yeah, I think that's right and actually months ago when things like you know Donald Trump's attempt. that they did a DNA test on the dress after they put it in a lab and got no semen, and the fact that Reed Hoffman, the Democratic pioneer, you know who Miss Carol didn't like when she initially testified about the rose in his statement um, you know, that should come into this case as something inflammatory and damaging, so that's certainly one of them, but there's a lot of his Bluefield and, uh, look, that's what happens, you know?

We are a satisfied sense, I know some. The people in this camp are very happy that he was not subject to anything at all because in position 77, be strong, he is ready to move on, he wants to fight this on a field again, he had success with one of you before the second. "The person just passed by in Carver's trucks, but he's planning, you know, tomorrow it will be some kind of town hall. I don't think so. um, you know he seems to be a survivor and he keeps going and we'll keep going, um again, this case us." We'll be on appeal and see what happens, but no, I didn't really know.

You know, look, there have

been

mafia cases where they are Anonymous stories, but at least the lawyers who know who the jurors are here did know. I don't even know where they were and that is the case where there is a very strong reaction that people would have towards politicians, particularly Donald Trump, one way or another, we should have

been

able to say something about the background of these people and unfortunately have an anonymous brewery even obscures the Warriors um I don't think it was fair or right, it somehow prevents a comprehensive Jewish election and we couldn't challenge people we didn't know, you know what their background was so we looked at faces basically you can see you could stay on the final ruling pending appeals uh we'll review his hand oh no I listen this is between Miss Carol and I but you know I don't make it personal to people and we had a We had a pretty good experience As for the parties in this case considering, you know what you think about how quickly they came up, yeah, it was quick, you know again, it's hard to see, what people have been saying is that in New York they just you can't get a fair trial and you know that people have said that you lost the case when they announced the names of the litigants, but then again, what do you think of the fact that they decided what do you think of the fact? that they decided so quickly about sexual abuse but didn't go as far as to say that this was strange, yes, what I said before, which is a little inconsistent, right, it's a little inconsistent because throwing things in the rain is not that she I wasn't sure.

It was rape, she wasn't and she said that and the jury rejected them, so it's hard to square that with the rest of the verdict, but it's a good question. I just don't do it. Honestly, I'm a little stumped on that one. Okay, I'm leaving now. I have a fan who once blocked me there, so I'm going to address him.
