Writer E. Jean Carroll proved in a trial this spring that comments President Donald Trump made about her in 2019 were false, a judge ruled.
The case scheduled for trial in January was filed three years before the lawsuit that went to trial this spring. It focuses only on defamation, not the alleged rape, because it was filed before the passage last year of a New York law that allows people to sue over long-ago sexual assault allegations.case has been winding through the courts for years, as judges considered whether Trump could be sued over speech that he made while president of the United States.
At the town hall, Trump repeated earlier assertions that Carroll was mentally unstable and making the story up. In addition to the January civil defamation trial, Trump is scheduled for trial in Washington in early March on criminal charges of trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election, and separately scheduled for trial in New York in late March on state charges of business fraud connected to hush money payments during the 2016 presidential campaign.
He is also scheduled for trial in Florida in late May on federal charges of improperly retaining classified documents after leaving office, and obstructing government attempts to retrieve the material. In addition, he and two of his adult children are scheduled for a civil trial in October over allegedly fraudulent business practices at Trump Organization.
