A New York judge rejected President Donald Trump’s argument that living in Washington means he can’t be sued in the state by an advice columnist who claims he raped her two decades ago and then lied about it.

The decision denying Trump’s bid to dismiss the case, revealed on Thursday, is an early victory for E. Jean Carroll, who went public with her allegations in a June magazine article and sued in November. The judge also denied Trump’s request to delay the exchange of evidence between the parties.

8. It is impossible to fall into a perjury trap if you tell the truth.

Too afraid to submit a sworn affidavit.

9. And now Discovery shall begin.

Can't wait to see what documents Ms Carroll's attorneys request. If she's claiming monetary damages (and I suppose she is) the plaintiff attorney can validly request Trump income documents.

12. Lock Him Up!

13. NO DENIALS?

So Trump isn't denying it happened, he's just claiming that he can't be sued in that jurisdiction?

[NewJeffCT]

16. That seems to be the case

defamation might be hard to prove, though.

14. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time, Donny.

Wait until 2021
