A federal judge rejected a request to delay former President Trump's trial this month on civil claims that he raped a woman in the mid-1990s, but has granted a request by Trump's lawyers to gather more evidence about who is paying the accuser's lawyers.
Carroll alleges the assault occurred in late 1995 or early 1996 in the dressing room of the Bergdorf Goodman department store.
Habba wrote that the revelation raises significant questions about Carroll's credibility and motives for suing Trump in November after New York state enacted a law allowing victims more time to sue those who committed sexual abuse against them, even if it happened decades ago. Kaplan said her client was preparing for trial recently when she recalled hearing that her lawyers, who were operating on a contingency fee basis, had also secured funding from a nonprofit organization. Carroll's lawyers then notified Trump's lawyers, who demanded to know the source of the funding.
