Legal analyst lists 'wacky things' Trump lawyers 'tried' in motion for Carroll trial appeal

During a Tuesday, January 30 appearance on MSNBC's All In With Chris Hayes, legal analyst Lisa Rubin lays out the ways Donald Trump attorneys have attempted to reverse the former president's order to pay writer E. Jean Carroll $88.3 million in damages.

"They're trying to get a new trial, Trump's lawyers?" Hayes asked Rubin.

"They've insinuated that they're gonna file a motion for a new trial," the legal analyst replied. "That's even in the letter where they've conceded that there actually isn't a problem between [E. Jean Carroll lawyer Roberta Kaplan and Judge Lewis Kaplan — no relation]. They drop a footnote saying, 'Of course, we're going to address this bias problem that the judge has with us in our post-trial motions, including, potentially under rule 59 — a shorthand for a motion for a new trial."

Rubin continued, "And Chris, I want to point out to you and our viewers, they've tried a lot of these kind of wacky things so far. They've asked for a refusal recusal of Judge Kaplan, on the basis of his relationship with another of E. Jean Carroll's lawyers. They've asked for a mistrial after E. Jean Carroll admitted to deleting death threats against her. So this is the third time they've tried for a do-over or cutting it short, based on bias or alleged improprieties because they know they don't have real substantive grounds for appeal."
