Judge won’t delay Trump’s defamation claims trial, calling the ex-president’s appeal frivolous

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — A New York federal judge expressed growing impatience Friday with what he calls ex-President Donald Trump’s “repeated efforts to delay” a defamation lawsuit against him, saying he won’t stop a January trial to await the outcome of a “frivolous” appeal of one of his rulings. Judge Lewis A. Kaplan made the remarks in a written ruling as he criticized arguments made by Trump’s lawyers in asking him to mothball the 2019 civil claims by a New York columnist who says Trump raped her in a luxury Manhattan department store dressing room in spring 1996. Defamation claims pertaining to remarks Trump made in 2019 after Carroll revealed her rape claims for the first time publicly in a memoir and remarks he made after May’s verdict would be considered at the January trial. Kaplan said Friday the arguments were “without merit” and Trump had “shown no likelihood of success on appeal.” Thus, Kaplan ruled, “this Court certifies that Mr. Trump’s appeal is frivolous.” Lawyers for Trump did not immediately return email messages seeking comment.
