Kaplan noted with disapproval a series of attempts by Trump to delay the collection of evidence in the defamation lawsuit. “Given his conduct so far in this case, Mr. Trump’s position regarding the burdens of discovery is inexcusable,” he wrote. Trump has repeatedly denied ever meeting Carroll, saying she was “totally lying” when she accused him of sexual assault.

Jean Carroll after he denied having raped her, ahead of a deposition of the former U.S. president scheduled for Oct. 19.

REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst/File PhotoNEW YORK, Sept 27 (Reuters) - A federal appeals court on Tuesday stopped short of declaring Donald Trump immune from author E. Jean Carroll's defamation lawsuit, saying it needed guidance on whether Trump was acting as U.S. president when he denied raping her. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan asked an appeals court in Washington to weigh in on whether the laws of that district shielded Trump from liability. The Manhattan court also handed Trump a victory in declaring he was a U.S. government "employee" when he allegedly defamed Carroll, a condition underlying his immunity claim. Roberta Kaplan, a lawyer for Carroll, said in a statement she was "confident" the District of Columbia court would let the case proceed.
