A Washington, D.C., appeals court declined to shield Donald Trump from the first of two civil defamation lawsuits by E. Jean Carroll, a writer who said the former US president raped her nearly three decades ago
NEW YORK, April 13 - A Washington, D.C., appeals court on Thursday declined to shield Donald Trump from the first of two civil defamation lawsuits by E. Jean Carroll, a writer who said the former U.S. president raped her nearly three decades ago.
The court sent the case back to the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan, which had last SeptemberAlina Habba, a lawyer for Trump, said in an email: "We are confident that the Second Circuit will rule in President Trump's favor and dismiss Ms. Carroll's case." His lawyers said a delay was also needed after they belatedly learned from Carroll's legal team that Reid Hoffman, the billionaire co-founder of LinkedIn and a prominent Democratic donor, was footing some of her legal bills.
The judge did not address whether Bragg's case jeopardized Trump's right to a fair trial in Carroll's case.Both of Carroll's lawsuits stem from her alleged encounter with Trump in late 1995 or early 1996 in a Bergdorf Goodman department store in Manhattan.
