The former president’s lawyers are trying to toss out E. Jean Carroll's lawsuit on the grounds that a temporary New York state law letting adult sex abuse victims sue decades later is invalid. Kaplan rejected a legal argument that is similar to the one made by Trump's lawyers last January when Prince Andrew's lawyers argued against the constitutionality of a temporary state law letting victims of child sexual abuse make claims years after the statute of limitations would otherwise have prevented the claims. At the time, Kaplan said the argument that the temporary law was improper had “for good reason" been rejected by every New York state and federal court to have considered it. Two weeks ago in seeking dismissal of Carroll's lawsuit, Trump's lawyers wrote that the state's Adult Survivors Act, “well-intentioned as it may be, is a fundamentally flawed law that is unable to withstand constitutional scrutiny."
