Former President Donald Trump's lawyers say new revelations that a major contributor to Democrats helped finance a lawsuit accusing him of rape is fresh reason to delay this month's trial for a month
Trump has denied that he raped Carroll and has accused the former longtime Elle magazine columnist and her lawyer of being politically driven after Carroll disclosed her claims for the first time publicly in a 2019 memoir while Trump was still president.
She said it also goes to the heart of Trump's defense because he has consistently labeled Carroll's claims a “con job” and a “hoax” and has questioned whether she is pushing a political agenda or being funded by a rival political party.Roberta Kaplan, Carroll's lawyer, responded in a letter to the court Thursday, asking the judge to deny Trump's latest bid for a delay to the trial.
Meanwhile, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals released a written opinion Thursday providing additional legal insight that the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals can use to decide if the United States can be substituted for Trump as the defendant in a defamation lawsuit Carroll filed before her November rape lawsuit.
