Donald Trump requests mistrial in rape accuser Carroll's civil case

Donald Trump has requested a mistrial in a civil case where the writer E. Jean Carroll is accusing him of rape and defamation, according to a letter from the former U.S. president.

In a letter filed early Monday in Manhattan federal court, Trump's lawyer Joe Tacopina cited several alleged errors by the judge, including that it mischaracterized parts of the case and interfered with his ability to defend Trump.
