It continues to get complicated:
Former US President Donald Trump's request to dismiss the lawsuit of the journalist, Jean Carroll, was rejected in court today (Friday).
The journalist filed a defamation lawsuit against Trump after he denied that he raped her in the dressing room of a Manhattan department store in the mid-1990s.
Manhattan District Judge Lewis Kaplan rejected Trump's arguments that the defamation claim was legally unfounded.
Among other things, because it does not include "special damages".
Carol published a book in 2019 called "What do we need men for?", in which she wrote that Trump raped her in the locker room.
The former president insisted that he did not meet with her and stated that she was "not his type".
Later the journalist was fired from her job at the magazine and claimed that the reason for this was the reaction of the politician and businessman.
Against this background, she filed the defamation claim against him.
