Trump is about the woman who accuses him of raping her: not my taste
In response to being called to court in a defamation case brought against him by a woman who accused him of raping her in the mid-1990s, former US President Donald Trump said, "Not of my taste."
The former President issued a statement denying that he had assaulted the author
E. Jean Carroll
in 1996, when in the New York Bergdorf Goodman shop, saying:
- This case is disingenuous
- and our legal system in this country
- particularly in the State of New York, is a disgrace."
He added: "I don't know this woman
- I have no idea who she is.
- I made up a story I met on the doors of this store.
- Busy in New York City.
It is a hoax and a lie, just like all the others that have been played on me for the last seven years. And while I'm not supposed to say that, I will. This woman is not my taste! ".
"Now all I have to do is spend additional years of legal foolishness to clear my name and her attorney's phoney accusations," he said.
US judge obliges Trump to attend hearing in rape indictment
A federal judge has rejected former US President Donald Trump's request to halt defamation proceedings against him from a woman who accused him of rape, requiring him to prepare to testify next week.
U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled that Trump's argument did not meet the legal threshold required to issue a stay in the author's case, E. Jean Carroll.
Carroll, former US President Trump
was accused of raping her at a Manhattan-area store in New York in the 1990s, and Trump responded by being false and citing remarks critical of her appearance.
Trump argued that he should enjoy immunity from the lawsuit, but the judge found that Trump was trying to postpone the case as much as possible.
Earlier
lawyers argued that Trump should grant immunity in Carroll's rape case.
- In a previously filed filing with the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan,
- lawyers confirmed that Trump should be classified as an "employee of
- the government" and obtain immunity from
- the case under what is known as the "Wiswall" Act.
This Act grants federal officials absolute immunity from claims arising in the context of their official duties.
It is not the first time that Trump has been accused of raping a woman. Many similar charges have already been made
