'This is about principle. It's about a powerful man assaulting and raping a woman and then getting away with it. That's not right,' E. Jean Carroll said.
NEW YORK — A lawyer for a woman who accused former President Donald Trump of raping her in the mid-1990s and then filed a defamation lawsuit against him said Tuesday she will not seek to depose Trump prior to trial because it would cause unnecessary delay, but added that a DNA sample was still being sought.
Kaplan, though, said the DNA sample had been requested after the case was first filed in state court, and the demand still exists after it was moved to federal court. She told reporters outside court that she was looking forward to the trial on behalf of all women"who have been grabbed and groped, assaulted and raped by men in power and are silenced."Carroll said she would"never settle, never."
The book excerpt prompted Trump to deny the allegations and question Carroll's credibility and motivations in a statement from his White House press office, comments in an Oval Office interview and statements to the media as he boarded a helicopter for Camp David. He also has rejected a request by Trump's attorneys that the progression of the lawsuit, including depositions, be delayed until the 2nd Circuit rules on whether Trump can be replaced as the defendant.
