A federal judge denied former President Donald Trump's motion to stay a pending appeal in the defamation lawsuit brought against him by E. Jean Carroll.
Judge Lewis Kaplan also certified Trump's appeal of the court's denial of his motion for summary judgment was"frivolous" in a court filing on Friday."Mr. Trump has not made any argument different from the points contained in his summary judgment briefing – all of which this Court has rejected – that would permit a determination that absolute presidential immunity is a nonwaivable question of subject matter jurisdiction," Kaplan wrote.
Trump's lawyers had filed a motion to stay the case pending the appeal in July, arguing they had shown a sufficient probability of success in getting the appeal and that Trump would suffer irreparable harm if the stay were not guaranteed.
