Under oath

Trump testified under oath yesterday. It seems highly unlikely he told the truth throughout. I wonder if the opposing lawyers can demonstrate that he lied.

Former President Trump answered questions under oath Wednesday in a lawsuit filed by E. Jean Carroll, a magazine columnist who says he raped her in the mid-1990s in a department store dressing room.

The deposition gave Carroll’s lawyers a chance to interrogate Trump about the assault allegations, as well as statements he made in 2019 when she told her story publicly for the first time.

You remember those statements. They weren’t along the lines of “I would never rape anyone!!” but rather “She’s not my type.” Such a nice man.

His legal team worked for years to delay his deposition in the lawsuit, which was filed when the Republican was still president. A federal judge last week rejected Trump’s request for another delay, saying he couldn’t “run the clock out on plaintiff’s attempt to gain a remedy for what allegedly was a serious wrong.”

You can’t blame a guy for trying.

Wait, yes you can.
