E. Jean Carroll no longer seeks Trump's deposition in defamation lawsuit

Lawyers for E. Jean Carroll are no longer seeking to depose former President Donald Trump in their defamation lawsuit, saying doing so would cause too much delay

Roberta Kaplan, who represents Carroll, told reporters after a nearly one-hour federal court hearing Tuesday that they changed their minds given the former President's history of litigation and a desire to go to trial as quickly as possibleKaplan is still seeking a sample of Trump's DNA, however.
