for the DOJ to intervene in the case.
"As the Court noted in an earlier opinion in this case, 'defendant's litigation tactics have had a dilatory effect and, indeed, strongly suggest that he is acting out of a strong desire to delay any opportunity plaintiff may have to present her case against him,'" Kaplan wrote in his ruling. "I don't know this woman, have no idea who she is, other than it seems she got a picture of me many years ago, with her husband, shaking my hand on a reception line at a celebrity charity event. She 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," Trump said.
Trump added that he is prepared to go through"years more of legal nonsense" in order to"clear my name of her and her lawyer's phony attacks on me."There is currently a routine order allowing both Trump and Carroll to keep their depositions confidential throughout the pretrial discovery process, meaning details of the line of questioning will almost certainly not be known at this time.
