Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to answer questions under oath Wednesday in a lawsuit filed by E. Jean Carroll, a magazine columnist who says the Republican raped her in the mid-1990s in a department store dressing room.
The deposition — if it takes place as planned — will give Carroll’s lawyers a chance to interrogate Trump about the assault allegations as well as statements he made in 2019His legal team worked for years to delay his deposition in the lawsuit, which was filed when he was still president. A federal judge last weekfor another delay, saying he couldn’t “run the clock out on plaintiff’s attempt to gain a remedy for what allegedly was a serious wrong.
Anything Trump says during his deposition could potentially be used as evidence in an upcoming civil trial. He hasn’t faced any criminal charges related to Carroll’s allegations and any prosecution is unlikely. The deadline for criminal charges over sexual assaults that occurred in the 1990s has long expired.
