Trump's defamation trial with E. Jean Carroll delayed and evidence allowed.

The defamation lawsuit brought by writer E. Jean Carroll against former President Donald Trump has been indefinitely delayed by a federal judge. Carroll claimed Trump defamed her when he denied her allegation that he raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s. The delay is due to a decision from a different court that could affect whether the trial goes forward. The Washington, D.C., Court of Appeals is deciding whether Trump was acting in his official capacity as president when he spoke out against Carroll.
