Former President Trump faces a new lawsuit accusing him of battery in the alleged assault of E. Jean Carroll, a former magazine advice columnist.
E. Jean Carroll leaves the Daniel Patrick Moynihan United States Courthouse following a hearing in her defamation lawsuit against Donald Trump, Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2020, in New York.
Trump's lawyers have also argued that the U.S. government, which has sovereign immunity from lawsuits, should be substituted for him in Carroll's defamation case."This court has already recognized that 'whether Mr. Trump raped Ms. Carroll is the paramount issue in both cases,' and the inclusion of a new claim based on an allegedly defamatory statement that closely tracks the existing defamatory statements only reinforces that conclusion," wrote Roberta A.
In a previous letter to the judge, defense attorney Alina Habba wrote that Trump"wholly and adamantly" objected to consolidating the two cases. "There can be no reasonable dispute that permitting to effectively amend her complaint to include" new allegations"would severely prejudice rights," she wrote.
In a statement at that time, Habba said the session enabled the former president to"set the record straight."Carroll's account alleges that Trump - whom she had met before while he said they had not, despite photos showing otherwise - forced himself on her in a dressing room in the Bergdorf Goodman's department store. She said the attack occurred during the 1990s after Trump asked her to try on lingerie that he considered buying as a gift.
