District Judge Lewis Kaplan has said it multiple times: Donald Trump raped E. Jean Carroll in 1996. Kaplan wrote it in May 2023, when he presided over one of the trials against Trump. And he reminded jurors of the rape this week, during the latest proceedings in the multi-layered, winding rape and defamation cases brought against Trump by Carroll.
The president cannot pardon state level crimes let alone state level civil judgements.
Okay, sure, buuut… what if his name is Donald Trump and he REEEEEALLY wants to?
We listen to him bitch about it for 10+ years and somehow it magically happens by some judge that throws away 100 years of presedent.
The President can’t declare he won an election he lost. Didn’t stop him from trying.
Yeah, sure. But if Trump pardons an offense in a Republican state, criminal or civil, which way do you think the state would swing?
