Pay attention to this development.

Chip Brownlee:

CNN's Josh Campbell reports that the Allen gunman purchased most of his from private sellers.

In , unlicensed sellers aren't required to run background checks. The same is true in most of the country.

Federal law only requires licensed dealers to perform checks.

@GottaLaff Not just in Texas. EVERYWHERE. It's what we call the "gun show loophole." Private sales are not regulated by Federal law.

v closing arguments. Thread. 🪡 1/…

Roberta Kaplan:

"You saw for yourself. E. Jean Carroll wasn't hiding anything."

Her testimony was "credible," "consistent," and "powerful."

Roberta Kaplan shows the clip of Trump's deposition video where he mixes up Carroll with Marla Maples.

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.

Nooooo really? Who'da thunk it?

😂 will not testify in battery trial after his attorney did not inform court of any change in strategy before judge-imposed deadline of 5 pm Sunday.

Judge Kaplan left a window for Trump to testify, even as Trump's attorney said that would be highly unlikely.

The judge said he ordered the precautionary measure in light of Trump’s public comments [LIES] suggesting he would make an appearance in court..."

alfredo_liberal,

@GottaLaff I did there's a reason why he left Ireland early and it wasn't to confront Carroll it is something else maybe a potential indictment or maybe another subpoena maybe coming for another of his properties for the possibility of more classified documents being hidden
