Trump just :

offered a DNA sample in a rape case and legal experts say he 'plays a toy'


Legal experts doubt the sincerity of the former president's offer to produce a DNA sample in order to refute E. Jean Carroll's rape allegations.


The Daily Beast reported that Trump eventually agreed last week to

allow his lawyer at one point to obtain a sample comparison of the columnist's black coat dress she claimed she wore during the alleged sexual assault in the mid-1990s.



Legal experts doubt the sincerity of the former president's offer to produce a DNA sample in order to refute E. Jean Carroll's rape allegations.


The Daily Beast reported that Trump eventually agreed last week to

allow his lawyer at one point to obtain a sample comparison of the columnist's black coat dress she claimed she wore during the alleged sexual assault in the mid-1990s.



The offer has not yet been made to Carroll's lawyer

  • based on a source who talked with the website.  Legal experts believe it
  • evidence between the parties has already expired

but now Trump's lawyers can tell the jury that DNA was shown but not tested.

Edward J. Emwinklerd :

a retired professor of law at the University of California

Davis, said:

  • You can draw a negative conclusion from
  • the fact that someone refused to participate in the relevant scientific tests.



Even if the former president submitted his DNA


for testing :

the results would not be accepted in the trial without

the judge reopening the discovery, which would extend the trial.

This week :

  • U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan told Trump's lawyer that
  • the case was proceeding according to schedule
  • and the trial was scheduled to begin on April 25.


What's happening behind

the scenes is every side sees how they take a stand to

take advantage of this," Scheer said. It was appropriate for Carroll's side to stop asking for his DNA...

Trump's lawyers may also play a game. 

  • I strive to be neutral and provide factual information in a clear and concise way.
  • Allegation that former President Donald Trump raped Jean Carroll
  • The well-known writer and journalist, is a serious accusation filed in 2019.



Jean Carroll is one of many women

who accused Donald Trump of sexual misconduct. In her memoir

What do we need for men?

modest proposal ", published in 2019, alleged that Trump raped her in the Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the mid-1990s. Trump dismissed the allegations as "fake news."


It is important to note

Carroll's claim has not been substantiated in court

and Trump has not been charged with any crime related to the allegation. However, Carroll filed a defamation suit against Trump in response to his public denial of the prosecution, and the case was working its way through the court system.



Alleged rape of Jan Carroll by Donald Trump

It is dangerous to deserve attention and investigation.

  • It is also part of a larger conversation about sexual assault and harassment
  • and the need to hold accountable those in positions of power.
  • It remains to be seen what the outcome of the proceedings will be

but regardless of the legal outcome

it is important to believe and support survivors of sexual violence.
