I mean it is ugly to declare that somebody is deleting death threats against oneself to hinder the course of justice. She did not bring it up and so nobody else should do so. It was a gambit by Trump to make it look suspicious and the venture has miserably failed.

Judge Lewis Kaplan has denied former President Donald Trump's motion to declare a mistrial and place sanctions in the E. Jean Carroll case, reported MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin.

The motion was based on the fact that Carroll, a writer who sued Trump for defamation after he disparaged her rape allegations against him as a lie to sell books, deleted some emails she received containing death threats against her, which Trump and his lawyer Alina Habba tried to argue was deliberate misconduct — but Kaplan found nothing of the sort.
