Donald Trump has denied raping the writer E. Jean Carroll in a dressing room of a New York department story in the mid-1990s.
Carroll's first lawsuit, filed when Trump was still president, alleges he defamed her with false and disparaging comments after when she went public in a New York magazine article about her account of being raped by him in a dressing room of the Bergdorf Goodman department store in 1996 or 1997.
The 76-year-old Republican also claimed that she was motivated to make up the account in order to increase sales of a book that included those allegations, and that Carroll, 79, also acted out of political animus toward him. But that case is at risk of being tossed out by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Carroll's second suit, filed late last year, also alleges defamation and makes a legal claim of battery against Trump for the alleged rape itself.
