The writer E. Jean Carroll accuses Donald Trump of raping her in a New York department store in the 1990s. He has said the incident never happened.
The order came a week after a federal district court judge ruled that Trump is civilly liable for defamatory statements he made about Carrol in 2019 when she first went public with her allegations of having been raped by him. The ruling means that the upcoming trial will solely deal with the question of how much Trump should pay Carroll in monetary damages.
Carroll's lawyer Robbie Kaplan in a statement said,"We look forward both to the January 15 trial on damages and to making our arguments to the Second Circuit that Donald Trump waived presidential immunity." Kaplan in court filings has scoffed at Trump's appeals of two adverse rulings by the judge in the case, accusing the former president of legal gamesmanship by raising a claim of absolutely presidential immunity at the tail end of litigation as the case got closer to trial and he kept losing court rulings.
In July, the DOJ dropped that efforts, citing a ruling by the federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., that suggested Trump could be personally sued if his statements did not have the purpose of serving the U.S. government. The DOJ also noted that Trump's allegedly defamatory statements about Carroll continued after he left the White House in January 2021
