A judge has ruled that former President Donald Trump will have to sit for a deposition next week in a defamation lawsuit filed by a writer who says he raped her in the mid-1990s
FILE - Columnist E. Jean Carroll leaves federal court, Feb. 22, 2022, in New York. A federal appeals court asked a Washington D.C. appeals court Tuesday, Sept. 27, 2022, to help it decide whether the United States should be substituted for former President Donald Trump as the defendant in a defamation lawsuit brought by Carroll, who says he raped her over a quarter century ago.
Trump's lawyer, Alina Habba, said in a statement: “We look forward to establishing on the record that this case is, and always has been, entirely without merit.” “The defendant should not be permitted to run the clock out on plaintiff’s attempt to gain a remedy for what allegedly was a serious wrong,” he wrote.
Kaplan, the judge, said Trump has repeatedly tried to delay the collection of evidence in the lawsuit. “Mr. Trump has conducted extensive discovery of the plaintiff, yet produced virtually none himself,” Kaplan said. “Completing these depositions — which already have been delayed for years — would impose no undue burden on Mr. Trump, let alone any irreparable injury.”
