Donald Trump blasted out a series of demeaning posts about author E. Jean Carroll on what should have been the last day of his defamation trial.
The former president posted dozens of screenshots of Carroll tweeting about sex-related topics or jokes, along with right-wing blog posts questioning her motives, character and sanity, during the time Monday morning when the trial was scheduled to resume with him on the stand.
But U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan had unexpectedly adjourned for the day after a juror and Trump attorney Alina Habba notified the court they were not feeling well.
"I traveled late last night from the Great State of New Hampshire to New York to attend one of the many Crooked Joe Biden-inspired Witch Hunt trials," Trump posted after the smear spree against Carroll.
"Despite the fact that I was there, on time and on schedule, it was just learned that one of the jurors is, unfortunately, not feeling well, and for that reason, today’s session of the trial, having to do with a woman I know absolutely nothing about, has therefore been cancelled with a new date to be determined."
"Of course, all of these various 'Biden Political Opponent' trials just happen to be starting, with great purpose, in the middle of what will be the most important Election in the History of our Country," he added. "They could have all began years ago, or years after, but, certainly not DURING the Election. In actuality, they should have never been brought at all, because I have done nothing wrong. It is what it is, and I will do what I have to do, all I ask for is fair Judges and Juries, and I will win every one of them."

In addition to the screenshots of Carroll's posts and quotes from various interviews she gave about her sexual assault allegations, the former president raised questions about a garment she says she had been wearing at the time of the attack. Kaplan had already barred Trump from introducing DNA evidence because he had not produced a sample in a timely fashion before the first trial.
"E. Jean Carroll was forced to change her story on the 'Monica Lewinsky-type' dress," Trump posted. "She originally claimed that the 'event' happened in 1994, and that she wore the Donna Karan dress on that day. The problem is that New York Times Fact Checkers found the dress wasn’t even made by Donna Karan until long after 1994. The truth is that she doesn’t know the day, month, season, year, or decade — because it did not happen. End this Witch Hunt now!"
