Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

When E. Jean Carroll pursued a civil case against Donald Trump, it wasn’t just a blow to Trump. It was also a high profile test case for a recently passed law in New York that allows rape victims to seek civil damages even after the criminal statute of limitations has expired.

Now that Carroll has won her case in court against a former United States President, it’s opened the door for other women to trust that they can also get vindication through the court system. Accordingly, a former employee of Rudy Giuliani is now bringing a civil case against him in New York for alleged rape. She even reportedly has recordings of Giuliani making inappropriate remarks toward her. But there’s more.

As important as any case involving alleged rape is, this particular case also involves a number of other allegations of different kinds of crimes. Noelle Dunphy, who’s bringing the suit against Giuliani, is also accusing him of selling pardons and of urging her not to cooperate with the FBI. If proven, these would be felonies (as is rape). So even though this is a civil suit, it won’t be shocking if the DOJ ends up seeking Dunphy’s cooperation in its presumably still-ongoing criminal probe into Giuliani for 2020 election fraud.
