Trump to attend mother-in-law's funeral, will miss E Jean Carroll trial after 'nasty' judge refuses to delay

Former President Trump said he will miss the E. Jean Carroll trial on Thursday so that he can attend his mother-in-law’s funeral, blasting the judge presiding over the case as "nasty" for not delaying court proceedings for the day.

"As you know, the first lady's mother passed away. The funeral is tomorrow," Trump said Wednesday during a press conference in New York City after spending the day in court. "And we would have assumed that for a trial like this, it's not an emergency in terms of timing, the judge would have been very nice, and they would let me go because I want to be at every trial day because I saw what happened in the first one where I was asked not to go by the lawyers very much — they said it's demeaning, there was no evidence, there was no anything — and so I didn't go, and I understood exactly what he meant when he said it was demeaning. There was no reason to go and you shouldn't go." ---More...
