NEW YORK — (NEW YORK) -- A federal judge in New York on Thursday denied former President Donald Trump's request to dismiss E. Jean Carroll's original defamation claim against him, ruling his arguments lacked merit.
Carroll, a former Elle magazine columnist, sued Trump in November 2019 over comments he made shortly after Carroll publicly accused him of raping her in a Manhattan department store dressing room in the 1990s. In those statements Trump denied the accusation, said Carroll was"not my type," and suggested she fabricated her accusation for ulterior and improper purposes, including to increase sales of her then-forthcoming book.
Trump argued the case should be dismissed because he is immune from her claim since he was president at the time. In a separate filing Thursday, Trump's attorneys argued he deserved either a new trial or a downward modification of the damage payment.
