Got a news flash about a lawsuit Trump filled that got rejected?

News Flash - for July 28th 2023

A federal judge late Friday dismissed Donald Trump’s $475 million defamation lawsuit against CNN, in which the former president argued that the cable network’s statements about his false 2020 election fraud claims likened him to Adolf Hitler.  

Singhal (a Trump appointed Judge) dismissed his lawsuit with prejudice, meaning Trump cannot file another lawsuit under the same reasoning.
 
Cheers and happy weekend!

    Not a lawsuit, but he filed a motion for a new trial in the E. Jean Carroll case, saying that $5M in damages was excessive since he was 'only' found guilty of sexual abuse, not rape. The judge rejected the motion, saying that just because he wasn't found guilty of rape as defined in New York law, he was still found guilty of rape as commonly defined.

    Yeah that ticked me off. He posted things like he was found to be not guilty of rape so it was just another witch hunt and other stuff like that. But he left out the part about the hand stuff. It was public knowledge what really happed but his followers chose to believe he was a persecuted saint. Cheers and happy weekend!

    Wait, so they don't "let you" "grab 'em by the p*ssy" if you're rich? Who'd 'a' thunk it?

    Today Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurne rejected Trump's bid to disqualify the lead prosecutor in the Georgia grand jury investigation. And block any indictments stemming from the probe. 

    The judge also denied Trump's request to quash a special grand jury report that included recommendations on whom to charge in connection with a campaign to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results. 

    Cheers!

    This isn't completely about a failed Trump lawsuit but I thought I would post it anyway. 

    Yesterday  Trump said that his legal team would be “immediately asking for recusal” of U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan. He also claimed that they had very powerful grounds for the demand. But of coarse he  didn't say what that powerful grounds was.

    Hours later, his attorney John Lauro publicly walked back that plan, saying Trump was speaking with a “layman’s political sense” and reacting primarily because Chutkan was nominated to the bench by a Democrat. (She was confirmed 95-0 by the Senate in 2014 after Barack Obama nominated her).

    News flash for August 7, 2023 

    Trumps counter defamation lawsuit against E. Jean Carroll is dismissed.

    In an order Monday, Judge Lewis Kaplan said that Trump
    had not proven that Carroll's statements on CNN the day
    after the jury awarded her $5 million after finding that
    Trump sexually abused Carroll and defamed her were false
    or "not at least substantially true," which is the legal
    standard.
    Trump sued Carroll in June based on her response to
    questions posed on CNN. Carroll was asked about the
    verdict finding Trump sexually abused Carroll, but did not
    rape her as defined under New York law and as she allege
    Carroll said, "Oh, yes he did."
    In throwing out Trump's lawsuit, the judge wrote, "Indeed,
    the jury's verdict in Carroll ll establishes, as against Mr
    Trump, the fact that Mr Trump 'raped her', albeit digitally
    rather than with his penis. Thus, it establishes against him
    the substantial truth of Ms Carroll's rape' accusations."
