A New York federal judge expressed growing impatience Friday, Aug. 18, with what he calls ex-President Donald Trumps repeated efforts to delay a defamation lawsuit against him, saying he wont stop a January trial to await the outcome of a frivolous appeal of one of his rulings. In May, a jury awarded the writer, E. Jean Carroll, $5 million in damages, concluding she was sexually abused and defamed by Trump, though she was not raped. Her lawyers now seek another $10 million in compensatory damages and substantially more in punitive damages for remarks he made while president and after the jury verdict.
