Donald Trump wants his rape trial postponed

Former U.S. President Donald Trump wants the sexual assault and defamation trial in which he is involved, scheduled for April 25, to be postponed to a later date.

He says the public has not recovered from his April 4 fraud indictment.

Trump’s lawyer argues that the intense media coverage received recently could taint the jury.

Recall that E. Jean Carroll is accusing the former president of raping her in a New York apartment in the 1990s, and she is demanding that Trump provide his DNA to prove the facts!

Trump has been denying the allegations since 2019.
