New: Rudy Giuliani hit with stomach-churning sexual abuse claims in $10M+ assault, civil rights, labor, contract suit by fmr assoc Noelle Dunphy.

She's got recordings of (pretty vile) statements and had 23,000 Rudy emails, she says, bc worked for him but he refused to pay her. Image
*The case was filed in January but this 70-page complaint is new today, with far more detail.
I don't think I can even screenshot/summarize this complaint. If you want to read the graphic details... it's filed here:
iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDoc…
Notable: Rudy Giuliani faces "Battery" civil claim for sexual abuse under Adult Survivors Act for rape, sexual abuse, sexual misconduct, forcible touching

This is the same action E. Jean Carroll brought against Donald Trump. Image
Wow: In *Feb. 2019*, Giuliani had "voter fraud" claim planned if Donald Trump lost the election, according to the complaint.

"Giuliani told Ms. Dunphy that Trump’s team would claim that there was 'voter fraud' and that Trump had actually won the election." Image
Attn NY politicos: @BoDietl got FBI agents' names who sought to question Dunphy in investigation of Rudy Giuliani, then told Rudy, according to the suit.

Bo Dietl is ... a colorful character, a fmr NYPD detective and private investigator, also ran for mayor in 2017 Image

Trump is utterly dominating this event. CNN barely challenging him.

In the wake of a federal jury finding him responsible for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll, audience is laughing and applauding his denials.

Stunning. Image
Trump said if re-elected he would pardon January 6 defendants:
“I am inclined to pardon many of them…a couple of them maybe they got out of control…it will be a large portion of them…and it will be very early on”
CNN’s media commentator not impressed

Now: Jury instructed in E. Jean Carroll's rape & defamation lawsuit against Donald Trump. Judge Lewis Kaplan lays out claims that Trump "forcibly raped her," but emphasizes:

“This is a civil case for damages, it is not a criminal case,” judge says.
To succeed on her battery claim, Carroll has to prove it was more likely than not that Trump's actions met the definition of:
-Rape (or)
-Sexual Abuse (or)
-Forcible Touching

If they find any of those three, Carroll prevails on a claim of battery. If so, jury decides damages.
To succeed on her defamation claim, related to Trump's Oct. 12, 2022 statement, Carroll must prove Trump defamed her, that his statement was false, and that it was made with actual malice.

Here's the statement the jury must consider: Image

Now: @FoxNews faces Smartmatic (the *other* voting machine company...you thought we were done?) in court on their $2.7B defamation suit in NY.

Smartmatic seeks to force Fox to turn over docs disclosed in the Dominion case, saying they only got 13% of that and its overdue. ImageImage
Of course, @FoxNews opposes this and says their Anti-SLAPP motion freezes all discovery regardless of any discovery deadlines in the litigation. Image
Yesterday, the judge expanded access to Fox records in this case due to the revelations in the Dominion litigation. Should be an interesting hearing Image

FILINGS: @ManhattanDA seeks order barring Donald Trump access to certain documents in his criminal case for fear he may mishandle them—think Mar-a-Lago, the DA says—or attack people with them.

Trump's counsel rejected such an order, DA says. Image
In the DA's bid for an order limiting Trump's access and the public's access to sensitive case information, @ManhattanDA says:

"Trump has a longstanding and perhaps singular history of attacking witnesses, investigators, prosecutors, trial jurors, grand jurors, judges & others" Image
Specifically, @ManhattanDA wants *all discovery* materials only used for the case, ie. no social media posting or sharing with the press. Docs the DA deems sensitive, only Trump's attorneys can have but Trump can review. He would get no access to witness cell phone data. ImageImage

New: @ManhattanDA blasts @JudiciaryGOP for interfering in Donald Trump case, saying it seems they are acting “like criminal defense counsel trying to gather evidence for a client” given the “close collaboration with Mr. Trump in attacking this Office and the grand jury process” ImageImage
DA Bragg pans @JudiciaryGOP “vague and shifting” legislative rationale to shield a president from alleged political prosecution:

“We doubt that Congress would have authority to place a single private citizen—including a former president or candidate for president—above the law” Image
Want to know about federal funds? Bragg says just $5,000 total was spent on investigation of Trump and that was all for the previous probe into the @Trump Org that ended in conviction on all counts. Image
