Journalist E. Jean Carroll claims she was raped by former President Donald Trump in a dressing room at a luxury New York department store in the mid-1990s. Now, she plans to use a new law to bring the former commander-in-chief to court.
Under New York state’s new “survivors” law, alleged sexual assault victims have a one-year window to sue their accusers even if the statute of limitations has long expired.
Carroll plans to use the law to sue Trump for sexual battery according to court papers disclosed Tuesday.
Carroll’s lawyers also want to question the former president under oath. Earlier this year, her attorneys said that getting sworn testimony from Trump wasn’t necessary. They now argue in a letter to the judge that a deposition is warranted since Trump has “barely participated” with boilerplate statements in the fact-finding process.
The New York Times further reports:
She plans to file her new case against Mr. Trump on Nov. 24, the start of a one-year window in which the law allows such suits to be filed, Ms. Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta A. Kaplan, wrote in a letter to the federal judge overseeing the defamation lawsuit.
Ms. Kaplan said in the letter that she plans to ask Judge Lewis A. Kaplan of the Southern District of New York to have the two cases tried together on Feb. 6, when Ms. Carroll’s defamation lawsuit was scheduled for trial.
Carroll had previously sued Trump for defamation in 2019 when the then-president denied raping her and called her a liar. Trump has also denied ever defaming Carroll.
The letters from Ms. Kaplan and Ms. Habba were dated in August and had not previously been filed publicly by the court.
Ms. Carroll, a longtime advice columnist for Elle magazine, wrote in a 2019 book and in an article published in New York magazine about the assault that she accused Mr. Trump of committing.
Carroll first accused Trump in a June 2019 article in New York Magazine, which she then described in her book “What Do We Need Men For?: A Modest Proposal.” She also accused former CBS Corporation CEO Les Moonves of sexual assault.
According to ABC News, at least 18 women have accused Donald Trump of varying degrees of sexual misconduct. Most came forward with their allegations before his first White House run. Trump adamantly denies the allegations.

Wow! Look out Bill Clinton. There are many women getting ready to sue you.
how come no one talks about the sexual assault victim involving biden~
No, they won’t bother – too many Dems in power will let him skate as usual – they couldn’t even prosecute him when in the W.H. & he gave secret computer info. to China.
Just like with kavanagh…another phoney claim against Trump…these women should be criminally charged for making false criminal accusations! They are a disgrace to all decent women and all Real sexual assault victims!
OMG! Will the Witch Hunt Never End?????
Does the new NY law actually give Carroll a Mulligan for her previous 2019 suit?
Here we go again……sigh
if at first you don’t succeed. . .lose, lose again!
I do not believe these laws will pass muster when presented to SCOTUS, see Article 1, section 9, clause 3 the no ex post facto law prohibition.
NY seems to enjoy getting punched by SCOTUS
And deservedly so.
Not to be picky, but there’s this pesky little thing called “evidence”. She’s had almost 30 years to produce any, yet we have only seen copious caterwauling, nothing more. But per leftist SOP, evidence is the last thing you need, the most important thing is “The seriousness of the charge”. Got GHW Bush investigated over negotiations with the Ayatolah, flying in the back seat of a SR-71 Blackbird, which was beyond ridiculous to everyone but Tip O’Neal…
seems wrong that a new law can be used reaching back to an old claim of crime.
With a wife that looks like Trumps wife, why in hell would he grab somebody off the street and rape them? Give me a break!!
Considering how that woman looks, trump wouldn’t touch that with someone else’s! She is lying her arse off, just like Ford did to Kavanaugh! They are so needy for attention, even bad attention is better than none. What about the accusations against creepy joe the molester, of which there are many?
Another lib liar who has no proof. How much were you paid, witch??
I didn’t know a law could be written to allow an accuser to go back in time. Besides didn’t they prove she wasn’t a minor at the time?
