Judge Delays Unsealing Trump’s Deposition in Rape-Defamation Lawsuit by E. Jean Carroll

HeadlineJan 10, 2023

A federal judge in New York has delayed the unsealing of a deposition given by Trump in a lawsuit accusing him of defamation. Former magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll has accused Trump of raping her in the 1990s — which the former president has denied. The lawsuit will be heard today by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, where Trump’s lawyers will argue presidents can’t be personally sued for statements made while in office.
