Trump angrily lashes out after his deposition is ordered

By LARRY NEUMEISTER and JILL COLVIN
October 13, 2022

NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump angrily lashed out Wednesday, calling the nation’s legal system a “broken disgrace” after a judge ruled he must answer questions under oath next week in a defamation lawsuit lodged by a writer who says he raped her in the mid-1990s.

He also called the 2019 lawsuit by E. Jean Carroll, a longtime advice columnist for Elle magazine, “a hoax and a lie.”

The outburst late in the day came hours after U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan in Manhattan rejected a request by his lawyers to delay a deposition scheduled for Oct. 19.

Kaplan is presiding over the case in which Carroll said Trump raped her in the dressing room of a Manhattan Bergdorf Goodman store in the mid-1990s. He called the lawsuit “a complete con job.”

In the rape case, she wants a DNA-sample test because Hair Furhair left his scum on her dress.

People voted for this slimy excuse for a human. He was nothing but a con man from the start and will continue to be that way for the rest of his miserable life. Melanoma is no better. The whole family, less Tiffany, seems to be as scummy as he is. And, she may be that way also.

I'm tired of seeing him in the news. Indict him, find him guilty in the D.C. courts, and get on with life.

If Obama had committed ONE THOUSANDTH of the shit Trump has done, the Republican Party would have hanged him in public from the Capitol steps...............

There is no way future generations or respected historians will ever be able to convince anyone this whole entire nightmare ever existed. Of course if the MAGAots take over, they will revise everything that has happened into the biggest fictional storybook ever written.

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't ask the question: Don't these Republicans have children and grandchildren??????

Abe Lincoln is quoted as having said: Statesmen are interested in the future, Politicians only in the next election......

The real truth of the matter is, that Trump would have never been able to pull this entire conflagration off without the entire Republican Senate, Republican House, and Republican Party behind him every step of the way......AND without our worst enemy, Russia/Putin's
incredible assistance..........

This is why he NEVER says that or his lawyers in court.

vomit. I hope she kept the clothes, anyone know if she did? Either way, I believe her completely, because we hear TFG admitting that when you are a celebrity "they just let you do it". Castrate the bastard. At deps he will do what comes natural, lie. For 6 years this man has occupied a space in my head and I want him out. My kids laugh at me because I hated Bush so much but who ever thought a creature like TFG existed. I tell my kids I would take Bush for president for life instead of TFG. Bush must thank God every day for Trump who has increased his stature exponentially.

Oct 2022

"The Fifth Amendment does not forbid adverse inferences against parties to civil actions when they refuse to testify” in response to evidence of wrongdoing, Justice Bryon R. White wrote for the court in 1976. That means Mr. Trump may pay a price for his decision to invoke the Fifth Amendment in a civil case.

but our very own DOJ decided that Trump calling a woman who accused him of raping her a liar is an official duty of the presidency and that DOJ would represent Trump (the office) in the defamation suit. This latest judge's ruling goes against DOJ's opinion.

This was so long ago, correct me if I'm wrong. I remember people, like myself, being upset that DOJ decided to defend Trump in this case. Maybe it was the criminal case and not the defamation case?
