I also read that not only was Trump denied evidence submission, but the judge denied hearing Trump witnesses. This is going to be turned over on appeal, but the political damage is already done, which is pretty much how banana republic courts work.
In this instance, the damage is minimal IMO. It is still January. The appeal will be heard and maybe decided well before November. Also, the media has been demonizing trump since 2016. Anyone who changes their mind over this was already voting against him.
I think Amber Heard and the Johnny Depp trial did a good job of undermining the power of accusations like this. Anyone who has heard of Trump can look at that accuser and know that she wasn't the type of woman Trump was reputed to be interested in. That is Bill Clinton's reputation.
