A jury will be asked to decide whether the rape occurred and if Trump defamed her with his comments
NEW YORK — An attorney for Donald Trump is seeking a one-month delay in the trial regarding a columnist’s claims that Trump raped her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s, contending that his client’s right to a fair trial depends on a “cooling off” period following the former president’s indictment and arraignment.
The civil case before Kaplan was brought against Trump in November by E. Jean Carroll, a columnist who says the wealthy real estate developer raped her in early 1996 after a chance meeting at the Bergdorf Goodman department store. A temporary state law that took effect last year allows adult rape victims to sue their abusers, even if attacks happened decades ago.
