.EJeanCarroll files fresh lawsuit against realDonaldTrump on heels of new state law
Carroll “intends to hold Donald Trump accountable not only for defaming her but also for sexually assaulting her," her lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, said.
Trump has vehemently denied the accusations, saying Carroll concocted the story in order to sell her book, in which she first publicly made the claims. Attorney Michael Madaio, who is representing Trump, said at a court hearing that the new allegations are different than the original defamation lawsuit, according to the Associated Press. Madaio said the new filing would require"an entirely new set" of evidence gathering.TRUMP APPEARS FOR DEPOSITION IN E. JEAN CARROLL DEFAMATION LAWSUIT
The new law allows New Yorkers over the age of 18 to sue those they allege sexually assaulted them, regardless of the statute of limitations.Carroll claims that she ran into Trump at the Bergdorf Goodman store in New York City in 1995 or 1996, at which point the two started discussing lingerie. After going to the dressing room, she says Trump pinned her against the wall and raped her and that she eventually fought him off and ran away.
