The battery and defamation civil court case against Trump is scheduled to start April 17.
Unfortunately, New York does not allow televising court cases. Instead of seeing Trump and Carroll testify for ourselves, we will have to rely on reporters to describe it to us.
(The Hill) – A federal judge ruled on Friday that E. Jean Carroll can use the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape and the testimony of two other women who have accused former President Trump of sexual assault as evidence at trial in her defamation case.
More...The “Access Hollywood” tape from 2005, which resurfaced ahead of the 2016 presidential election, captured Trump boasting about his apparently unsolicited advances on women.
“When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything,” he said, adding, “Grab them by the [expletive]. You can do anything.”
Kaplan noted that the tape is relevant in Carroll’s case given that “a jury reasonably could find, even from the ‘Access Hollywood’ tape alone, that Mr. Trump admitted in the ‘Access Hollywood’ tape that he in fact has had contact with women’s genitalia in the past without their consent, or that he has attempted to do so.”
In the case of the two other accusers, Trump argued that their allegations are “vastly different” from Carroll’s, a claim that Kaplan dismissed as “not very persuasive.”

Republicans who fear having their entire party tainted by the negative publicity surrounding Trump's criminal indictment can breathe a sigh of relief. The unrelated civil case against Trump by the woman who accuses him of rape will begin in just three weeks, unless something happens to delay it again. That should distract from all the hoopla surrounding Trump's criminal indictment about his payments for a porn star.

The lawyer defending Trump in this case is the same lawyer who has been on teevee over the past few days talking about the criminal case relating to the porn star hush money. There are no witnesses and no physical evidence. It's just the plaintiff's word against Trump's word. A jury will decide and, unlike in a criminal case, the jury need not be unanimous.

We are at the horizon..
Donald Trump has asked a United States District Court judge to delay his upcoming rape trial in New York by a month, with lawyers asking for a “cooling off” period after the negative mass media coverage surrounding his indictment and arrest in the Stormy Daniels hush money case.
The civil trial, currently scheduled for April 25, comes after former Elle magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll accused the former president of raping her in the mid-1990s and sued him for defamation after he denied the allegation.
In a letter to U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan released Tuesday night, Trump attorneys Joseph Tacopina and Alina Habba request a four-week adjournment in the trial, saying Trump’s right to a fair trial hinges on the “cooling off” period after “the recent deluge of prejudicial media coverage concerning his unprecedented criminal indictment and arraignment in Manhattan.”

Last week, Trump's lawyers urged U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in federal court in Manhattan to grant a four-week "cooling-off" period to at least May 23 to give Trump a fair trial, citing a recent "deluge of prejudicial media coverage" of criminal charges against him.
In a written order on Monday, Kaplan said Carroll's case was "entirely unrelated" to the New York state-level prosecution, in which Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection with a hush money payment made to a porn star before the 2016 election.
Kaplan said there was no reason to assume it would be easier to seat a fair and impartial jury in May. He said some media coverage was based on Trump's own public statements.
"It does not sit well for Mr. Trump to promote pretrial publicity and then to claim that coverage that he promoted was prejudicial to him," Kaplan wrote.

Too bad it won't be televised.

Trump did not attend the trial. He says he will not go unless he is called as a witness. The plaintiff has said that she will not call him as a witness. Why would she? Trump's testimony would benefit Trump.E. Jean Carroll, the writer who accuses former President Donald Trump of raping her in a New York department store in the mid-1990s, began testifying at a civil trial for her lawsuit on Wednesday.
“I’m here because Trump raped me,” Carroll testified. “He lied and shattered my reputation and I’m trying to get my life back.”

My assessment is that Trump will lose if he does not testify. This is a civil case. There is no right to refuse to take the stand because of fear of self-incrimination.
This trial is an entirely unrelated to the 34 felonies for which he was indicted in March.
Wait that obvious lie of a case actually went to trial and the judge didn't laugh her out of court?
What a joke the Democrats have turned our country into.

The rape trial is not going well for Trump. If he doesn't bother to show up to deny the allegations, then he will lose. Since it is a civil trial, there would be no jail time but he would have to pay money to his accuser. Although he can afford to lose some money, another consequence would be that after a verdict against him, anybody would be able to call him a rapist, and it would be a legal truth, because a jury will have said so.
