Trump is accused in court of rape. Will it matter in 2024?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:55:36 GMT

E. Jean Carroll testified in sometimes searing detail about the day she says Donald Trump raped her in a department store dressing room two decades before he became president, allegations the Republican has repeatedly and vehemently denied. Taking the witness stand in support of Carroll this week, two friends told jurors that they spoke with the former magazine columnist shortly after the alleged 1996 attack, and that they believe she is telling the truth. Other women testified about separate encounters; one said Trump grabbed and groped her while they were on a flight in the late 1970s, the other told jurors he forcibly kissed her at his Florida home in 2005. The accounts, shared during the civil trial on Carroll’s claims of battery and defamation against Trump, mark the first time that any of the numerous allegations of sexual misconduct against the former president have been heard in a court trial. Given a chance to rebut Carroll’s accusations on the witness stand, Tr...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:55:36 GMT

PARIS — France’s top protocol chief was fired this week within hours of taking office over past wrongdoing, drawing ire from the diplomatic corps amid questions over the vetting process at the French foreign affairs ministry. Philippe Casenave was briefly state protocol director, a discreet but key position in the French diplomatic machinery with responsibilities that include overseeing official visits from foreign leaders hosted by the French presidency and the prime minister’s office. Casenave took office Tuesday morning but was dismissed in the afternoon over the alleged misuse of state property while he was France’s general consul in Marrakesh, Morocco, from 2017 to 2021, three French diplomats told POLITICO.
