Idunno’ where this best lives, but the judge in E. Jean Carroll’s _other_ Defamation suit against Trump has said the jury will (also) be anonymous … due to … Trump’s incorrigible bad behavior in all of his other ongoing judicial issues: > **[Judge, citing Trump's 'repeated public statements,' orders anonymous jury in...](https://news.yahoo.com/judge-citing-trumps-repeated-public-214422287.html)** > > A New York federal judge cited former President Donald Trump’s “repeated public statements” Friday among reasons why a jury will be anonymous when it considers damages stemming from a defamation lawsuit by a writer who says Trump sexually abused her... > [@](#): > > After the May verdict, Kaplan ruled that Carroll’s lawyers will not have to re-establish to a new jury that Trump sexually attacked Carroll.

Carroll seeks at least $10 million in compensatory damages and substantially more in punitive damages. Trump. That rascal. ---
