Trump's lawyers to argue that the Adult Survivor's Act is unconstitutional

Raw Story  

A lawyer for Donald Trump is seeking to dismiss a lawsuit that accuses the former president of an alleged rape in the 1990s with an argument that New York's Adult Survivors Act is unconstitutional, according to Politico. New York's Adult Survivor's Act is a two-year opportunity for past victims of sexual assault to sue their alleged assailant in cases that previously would have expired due to the statute of limitation. In the Politico story, Michael T. Madaio, the lawyer representing Donald Trump, said, "There's a serious question here to whether the Adult Survivors Act is constitutional." IN OTHER NEWS: Trump loses in court again after Florida judge denies his bid to block NY AG from obtaining documents Carroll had previously filed suit against Trump for defamation for his denial of the alleged action and has stated she has not been able to be in a relationship since due to the trauma of the attack.
