From a story on axios.com by Erin Doherty headlined “Trump sits for deposition in E. Jean Carroll lawsuit”:
Former President Trump answered questions under oath Wednesday for a defamation lawsuit filed by E. Jean Carroll, a writer who alleged that he raped her in the mid-1990s.
Why it matters: The deposition comes after Trump repeatedly attempted to delay the case proceedings.
- “We’re pleased that on behalf of our client, E. Jean Carroll, we were able to take Donald Trump’s deposition today,” a spokesperson for Carroll’s legal team said in a statement.“We are not able to comment further.”
