Donald Trump's DNA, not deposition sought in defamation suit

Fresno CA

Description

A lawyer for a woman who accused former President Donald Trump of raping her in the mid-1990s and then filed a defamation lawsuit against him said Tuesday she will not seek to depose Trump prior to trial because it would cause unnecessary delay, but added that a DNA sample was still being sought. E. Jean Carroll told reporters outside court that she was looking forward to the trial on behalf of all women “who have been grabbed and groped, assaulted and raped by men in power and are silenced.” “And we are looking to bring justice, at least in this one case, against a powerful man,” she said. Carroll said she would “never settle, never.”
