A federal judge denied Donald Trump’s request for a summary judgment in writer E. Jean Carroll’s claim of defamation against him
from the former president bashing Carroll. Trump’s attorneys argued that the post was not an act of defamation, but merely a summary and/or repetition of “his denials and affirmative defense in relation to Ms. Carroll’s allegations.”
In the post, Trump wrote that Carroll “completely made up a story that I met her at the doors of this crowded New York City Department Store and, within minutes, ‘swooned’ her. It is a Hoax and a lie, just like all the other Hoaxes that have been played on me for the past seven years.” Trump’s lawyers argued that the post constituted a “report of any judicial proceeding,” and should therefore be excluded from the case, and a summary judgment given.
Kaplan wrote in his decision that the post was by no means a report of a judicial proceeding. “Instead, it is an amalgamation of Mr. Trump’s personal views and comments on a wide range of subjects, including the legal system of the United States and of New York, this Court, Ms. Carroll and her rape accusation against him, CNN and its journalist Anderson Cooper, and Ms. Carroll’s counsel,” Kaplan wrote.
