Donald Trump’s final appeal of the E. Jean Carroll sex abuse case has been rejected by a New York court. The case stems from Carroll’s allegations that Trump sexually assaulted her in a New York City department store in the mid-1990s, which Trump has denied. The former president attempted to invoke a law that protects government employees from being sued for actions taken during their official duties to have the case dismissed.
The court’s decision to reject Trump’s appeal means that the case can move forward, allowing Carroll to proceed with seeking a deposition and DNA sample from Trump. Trump’s legal team argued that his comments denying the assault were made in his official capacity as president when he denied knowing Carroll, therefore invoking the protection under the law.
Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, welcomed the court’s decision, stating that it reaffirms that “no one, not even the president, is above the law.” Carroll herself expressed relief at the ruling, emphasizing her commitment to holding Trump accountable for his alleged actions.
This development comes after a series of legal battles between the two parties, with Trump previously attempting to delay the case and have it dismissed. The case has been closely watched as it raises important questions about the limits of presidential immunity and accountability for alleged personal misconduct.
Carroll’s allegations against Trump have been a point of contention since she first came forward with them in 2019. With the court’s decision to reject Trump’s appeal, the case is set to proceed, bringing the issue back into the spotlight.
