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.
I get booster shots as soon as they’re available, but they’re no guarantee for me and they don’t help people like the immunocompromised or babies, neither of whom can get vaccinated against COVID who need everyone else to be vaccinated to protect them.
Which is why every single person who can safely be vaccinated and chooses not to is very selfish. It’s not about them, it’s about sick people and fucking babies.
