The lawyer representing E Jean Carroll on Wednesday welcomed a ruling allowing the writer to include in an ongoing defamation lawsuit disparaging comments Donald Trump made about her after she won her sexual abuse case against him.
Roberta Kaplan, the attorney for Carroll, also noted on Tuesday night that she and her client looked forward to “moving ahead expeditiously” with the remaining claims after a federal judge ruled Carroll could pursue her $10m defamation case against the former US president that was filed following the publication of her 2019 book in which she accused Trump of rape and his claim she was lying.
