District Judge Lewis Kaplan denied Donald Trump's fourth attempt to delay a defamation trial in New York.
Carroll, who was awarded $5 million in damages by a jury that found Trump likely sexually abused her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s, sued Trump in 2019 for allegedly defaming her by denying her sexual assault allegations and by suggesting that she made up the claims to sell a book. Trump is appealing the verdict.
"Mr. Trump has not provided a single reason for the Court to find that there is any likelihood that he will succeed on appeal, let alone a 'strong showing,'" Kaplan wrote. "This case was largely stalled for years due in large part to Mr. Trump's repeated efforts to delay, which are chronicled in the Court's prior decisions," Kaplan said."Mr. Trump's latest motion to stay—his fourth such request—is yet another such attempt to delay unduly the resolution of this matter.
