The filing from Judge Lewis A. Kaplan came as Trump’s attorneys have sought a new trial and have argued that the jury’s $5 million verdict against Trump in the civil suit was excessive. The reason, they argue, is that sexual abuse could be as limited as the “groping” of a victim’s breasts.

 Kaplan roundly rejected Trump’s motion Tuesday, calling that argument “entirely unpersuasive.”

“The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was ‘raped’ within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape,’ ” Kaplan wrote.

Ibid.

Why did Judge Kaplan make those comments?

You need to a stand and explain your position.  I have and then you validated my comments.  I thank you for that.

No questions until you answer the one you are running from on you inflation thread.

But again, you validated the objective fact that the jury did not find Trump liable for rape.  And the is was a judge who said it was.  Exactly as I posted.
