Former President Donald Trump expressed his frustration with a New York City judge who denied his request to delay his trial against E. Jean Carroll in order to attend his mother-in-law’s funeral.
On Saturday, the 45th president took to his social media platform Truth Social to criticize Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, calling him “a bad person and a worse judge.”
“Crazed, Trump hating Judge, Lewis Kaplan, who presided over the Election Interference Witch Hunt, disguised as a trial, of a woman I have never met before (celebrity photo line does not count – I had no idea who she was!), was asked if he could delay this Rigged Political Scam for one day so that I could attend the FUNERAL OF MY BELOVED MOTHER-IN-LAW WITH MY WIFE, THE FORMER (AND NEXT!) FIRST LADY OF THE UNITED STATES — AND HE SAID NO,” Trump wrote.
On Tuesday, former First Lady Melania Trump announced the passing of her mother, Amalija Knavs.
In a letter to Judge Kaplan, Trump’s lawyer Alina Habba requested a delay in the trial so that the former president could attend his mother-in-law’s funeral.
However, Kaplan rejected the request, stating that while the court offers its condolences, the application is denied.
The trial, which aims to determine the amount of defamation damages Trump owes Carroll for her allegations of sexual assault, is set to begin soon.

Why did Judge Lewis A. Kaplan deny Former President Trump’s request for a trial delay?
Title: Former President Trump Criticizes Judge’s Decision to Deny Trial Delay
Introduction:
Former President Donald Trump recently voiced his frustration over a New York City judge’s ruling denying his request to delay his trial against E. Jean Carroll. The reason for the delay was to attend his mother-in-law’s funeral. Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to express his disappointment in the judge’s decision. The trial, which revolves around defamation allegations made by Carroll, is set to proceed as scheduled, despite the former President’s plea for compassion.
Background:
On Saturday, January 14, 2024, the 45th President, Donald Trump, expressed his discontent with Judge Lewis A. Kaplan’s decision to proceed with the trial against E. Jean Carroll without delay. Trump referred to the judge as “a bad person and a worse judge” in a post on his social media platform.
Quoting Trump’s statement, he accused Judge Kaplan of presiding over a “Election Interference Witch Hunt disguised as a trial.” Trump further claimed that he had never met Carroll before and that her celebrity photo did not count as an actual encounter. He requested a one-day delay to attend his beloved mother-in-law’s funeral alongside his wife, the former (and possibly next) First Lady of the United States.
Contrary to Trump’s wishes, Judge Kaplan denied the request, citing that while the court extends its condolences, the trial will proceed as planned. The trial seeks to determine the amount of defamation damages that Trump allegedly owes Carroll as a result of her accusations of sexual assault.
Conclusion:
Former President Trump’s frustration with Judge Lewis A. Kaplan’s decision to deny a delay in the trial against E. Jean Carroll is evident. Despite his plea to attend his mother-in-law’s funeral, the judge maintained that the trial would proceed as scheduled. This case highlights the challenges faced by public figures when balancing personal matters with legal proceedings. As the trial commences, it remains to be seen how this dispute will unfold and whether it will impact the final outcome of the defamation case against the former President.
