Columnist E. Jean Carroll's lawyer says she won't try to question Donald Trump in a deposition before a potential trial in Carroll's defamation lawsuit, but she is seeking the former president's DNA.
Attorney Roberta Kaplan first made the revelation in Manhattan federal court during a pretrial hearing before explaining the decision to reporters outside the court as her client, E. Jean Carroll, stood by her side.“We want the case to go forward,” she said.
She said she would be “more than perfectly happy” to wait to interview Trump at trial, which she estimated could occur in as little as six months, after some near-term legal obstacles are cleared. “This is about principle. It’s about a powerful man assaulting and raping a woman and then getting away with it. That’s not right,” she said.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is expected to rule eventually on Trump’s request that the United States take his place as the defendant in the lawsuit. The U.S. Justice Department has asserted that Trump cannot be held personally liable for “crude and disrespectful” remarks he made about Carroll because his remarks were made as he was carrying out his duties as president.Judge Lewis A.
