"No reason for delay": Trump must sit for deposition in defamation suit against ABC, judge rules

Salon  

President-elect Donald Trump and ABC News host George Stephanopoulos will each have to sit next week for a deposition in Trump’s defamation suit against the network. U.S. Magistrate Judge Lisette Reid ruled that the depositions must go forward, writing in an order on Friday that the court “has already granted a lengthy discovery period... and, with Election Day now behind us, there is no reason for any further delay.” Trump’s testimony will be “limited to four hours and shall take place in person" in Florida where he filed the suit. Trump’s suit against the network originated in March when Stephanopoulos claimed a jury had found Trump liable for the rape of writer E. Jean Carroll in an interview with Rep. Nancy Mace. U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan oversaw the Carroll case and ruled last year that Trump's actions met the definition of rape in common speech.
