Long-time advice columnist E. Jean Carroll files new lawsuit against Trump after new New York law comes into effect
A writer who accused former President Donald Trump of rape filed an upgraded lawsuit against him Thursday in New York, minutes after a new state law took effect allowing victims of sexual violence to sue over attacks that occurred decades ago.
Trump responded to the book’s allegations by saying it could never have happened because Carroll was “not my type.” New York’s new law, however, gives sex crime victims who missed deadlines associated with statute of limitations a second chance to file a lawsuit. A window for such suits will open for one year, after which the usual time limits will be reinstated.
Trump said in his statement that Carroll “completely made up a story that I met her at the doors of this crowded New York City Department Store and, within minutes, `swooned’ her. It is a Hoax and a lie, just like all the other Hoaxes that have been played on me for the past seven years.” Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, who presides over the defamation lawsuit Carroll filed three years ago, may decide to include the new claims in a trial likely to occur in the spring.
In a statement regarding the new lawsuit, Kaplan said her client “intends to hold Donald Trump accountable not only for defaming her, but also for sexually assaulting her, which he did years ago in a dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman.”

Long-awaited Indo-Pacific strategy key to Canada being seen as a partner at the tableA recent presentation by the U.S. State Department official responsible for Asia, Daniel Kritenbrink, said it all. In a wide-ranging tour d’horizon of American policy in Asia, including on engagement with partner countries, Canada was not on the list. Similarly, the press briefing for U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s October visit to Canada does not mention Asia. The Biden administration has been at pains to demonstrate its commitment to the region, and will make every effort to continue along this path, even in strained political circumstances. The president has reinforced the Quad (the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue between the United States, Japan, India, and Australia); gathered 12 countries for the initial meeting of the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF); and cemented bilateral ties through visits with the leaders of South Korea, Japan, Australia, and Southeast Asia, and most importantly, with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the margins of the G20 in Indonesia last week. Canada’s long-anticipated Indo-Pacific strategy needs to attract some attention from our neighbour. But Canada will also have to make every effort to ensure that its engagement is meaningful and sustained in order to cement partner relations in Asia. Canada (and the United States for that matter) has a role to play, not only in joining with our like-minded friends, but also in encouraging others to join by pushing for an adjustment of the rules-based order to be more inclusive and to reflect the fact that the world’s economic centre has shifted to Asia. Canada has an advantage through its participation in the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). It seems to be popular—even China has indicated an interest in joining—but there seems to be little likelihood that the United States will join anytime soon, if ever. For its part, the United States has its IPEF, which covers some aspects of CPTPP but is not a trade agreement per se. The IPEF
