Trump DEPOSITION scheduled in E. Jean Carroll Defamation Case in October - Meidas Touch

[Rhiannon12866]

E. Jean Carroll set the deposition of Donald Trump for October 19 in connection with her defamation action it was revealed in recent court filings. Trump has asked his deposition be delayed until after the Court of Appeals rules on his pending motion to substitute the government as a defendant and dismiss the case. Regardless of if the defamation case is dismissed, E. Jean Carroll May now file a case for the underlying sexual assault since New York just passed the Adult Survivors Act which revives the statute of limitations on previously time-barred claims for an additional year.

1. You can say "Bill Barr swoops in"...

… but isn’t it still DOJ’s position?

I don’t see how you force testimony in a trial where the judge has yet to decide whether the case can even move forward.

As for the new claim that Carroll wants to join to this action. I don’t see how it gets around the constitution’s ex-post-facto rule, but I’ll be entertained to see SCOTUS try - since Stogner came from the liberals on the court at the time and Thomas/Scalia dissented. But either way, the claim can’t exist until well after the date they’re asking for
