Already Proved? | Donald Trump, E. Jean Carroll, Legal Liability and Estoppel (H&H | 9-7-23)
In this episode, Richard Hoeg updates listeners on his health, discusses media portrayal of Donald Trump, shares views on Starfield and other video games, and delves into Bitcoin and health awareness. Guest Runkle of the Bailey joins to discuss ignoring health symptoms, sensitive legal topics, and family dynamics. They also cover Trump's defamation trial, media accuracy, and the influence of politics on news reporting. The episode concludes with listener questions and future podcast plans.
Key Points
- The judge ruled that Eugene Carroll doesn't have to prove again that Donald Trump defamed her in another lawsuit, and must only show what damages he should pay for comments made in 2019.
- Different media outlets present the news of Trump's liability in the defamation case with varying degrees of editorialization in their headlines.
- Collateral estoppel, the legal principle at play, can be controversial when it eliminates the need for a trial by using a prior verdict, which is something that Trump's team plans to appeal.
