A D.C. appeals court refuses to decide whether former President Trump can be shielded from the first of two defamation lawsuits by a writer who alleges he raped her nearly three decades ago.

The Washington court said the 2nd Circuit or a federal district judge in Manhattan should assess Trump’s role.Thursday’s decision for now preserves both of Carroll’s civil lawsuits against Trump over their alleged encounter in late 1995 or early 1996 in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in Manhattan.

After Carroll described the incident in a June 2019 New York magazine excerpt from her memoir, Trump told a reporter at the White House that he did not know Carroll, that “she’s not my type,” and that she concocted the rape claim to sell her book. He largely repeated his denial in October 2022, when he called the rape claim a “hoax,” “lie,” “con job” and “complete scam” on his Truth Social media platform.That case also includes a battery claim under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which lets sexual abuse survivors sue their alleged attackers even if statutes of limitations have run out.

Trump Raped Her And Must Face Jail Time

I read somewhere that every man was treated equally under the law and that no man was above that law. 🤔

Why would anyone rape a scarecrow?

Why should a serial rapist be shielded?

Yawn.

I’ll decide then. He cannot be shielded. You’re welcome legal system.
