Trump's attorneys withdraw claim he can't be sued for rape based on his residential status

E. Jean Carroll, who has accused Trump of raping her inside the luxury department store Bergdorf Goodman in the 1990s and is suing him in Manhattan Supreme Court for defamation.

“Because you retweeted his call to the Governors when he bragged ‘I live in Manhattan,’ his lawyers dropped the claim I can’t sue him cuz he’s not a resident of New York!” Carroll wrote.

In a letter to the court dated June 15, Carroll’s defense attorney Roberta Kaplan argued against the idea put forth by Trump’s lawyers that he can’t be sued in Manhattan because he doesn’t live there.

“As darker chapters of his story have begun catching up with him, Trump has worked hard to distance himself from New York. This case is one example of that retreat,” Kaplan wrote.

Trump, a lifelong New Yorker, changed his residency to Florida late last year.

2. Could Trump now be accused

of voter fraud is he dies mail in voting to Florida? It would make an interesting public accusation

3. If that claim had been pursued further and held up

There are a lot of people that would be committing civil crimes and/or dodging civil trials by fleeing the state

4. I may be wrong, but I believe another benefit of Florida residency is that

you can keep your home when you declare bankruptcy.

5. The rape occurred in New York

This is a bad legal argument
