E. Jean Carroll’s defamation trial against former President Trump was postponed on Monday after a juror and one of Trump’s lawyers reported feeling ill

U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who oversees the trial, announced in the courtroom he would postpone the trial for at least one day.

“We will take the day off,” Kaplan said.

Kaplan said one of the jurors reported feeling ill on his way into court, and he was sent home.

Alina Habba, one of Trump’s attorneys, said that she also was feeling ill on Monday and had recently been exposed to COVID-19 at a dinner with her parents.

      Cognitive dissonance doesn’t work on those people.

      irony? They see it as an excellent 5d chess move to use a “fake virus” as an excuse to delay their gods trial.
