A lawyer for former United States President Donald Trump has called a rape and defamation case brought by the writer E Jean Carroll an affront to the justice system.During closing arguments in a civil trial in Manhattan federal court on Monday, lawyer Joseph Tacopina urged jurors to set aside any opinions they might have about Trump and reject what he called Carroll’s effort to “profit” from a false story.“What E Jean Carroll has done here is an affront to justice. She has abused this system by bringing a false claim for — amongst other things — money, status, political reasons,” Tacopina said.
