NEW: Trial is off tomorrow in the defamation case and will reconvene Wednesday. Is this because of New Hampshire, COVID, or both? Judge Kaplan’s minute order doesn’t say.

@GottaLaff probably covid. That courtroom probably has at least a handful of c+ people in it every day and few masks. (No idea about vax.)

2/ Habba's making it sound like Trump will testify, btw. I doubt he will, but this way, more anticipation, more press, more red meat for his vile base.

Via Klasfeld:

Remember:

Trump's surrogates spent much of today complaining the judge engaged in "election interference" by postponing trial til the primary.

Only they were wrong twice:

The judge paused trial til Tue, on Trump's motion, over Carroll's objection; then he extended it until Wed, again on Trump's motion, over Carroll's objection

Floating rumors of his impending testimony must be good for fundraising. Because he ain't gonna do it.

I hope the juror who fell ill is not manifesting sympathy toward the defendant.

@wren How would they?

deborahh,

@GottaLaff @wren by delaying the trial?

@GottaLaff He wouldn't have done it just for the primary, but I understand that Habba and a juror are out sick, so I assume it is that.

@GottaLaff
I like what Judge Kaplan said to prospective jurors in the damages trial:

You have to accept as a matter of fact that Donald Trump sexually assaulted & defamed E. Jean Carroll.

Glenn Kirschner reiterated the fact that Trump sexually assaulted & defamed Carroll.

@glennkirschner2 reiterated the fact that Trump sexually assaulted & defamed Carroll. repeating what Judge Kaplan said to prospective jurors in the damages trial: You have to accept as a matter of fact that Donald Trump sexually assaulted & defamed E. Jean Carroll.
