THREAD: President Donald Trump said he had never met advice columnist E. Jean Carroll, who accused him last year of raping her in the 1990s. Now, her lawyers want to find out whether his DNA is on a dress she says she was wearing during the encounter. apne.ws/ikB1Vh6
Carroll says she has never washed the black wool dress she was wearing when she says Trump raped her in the 1990s. He denies her allegation. (2/5)
Carroll filed a defamation suit against Trump in November after the president denied her allegation, saying he didn’t know her and had never even met her. He accused Carroll of “totally lying.” (3/5)
Trump’s lawyer has tried to get the case thrown out. A Manhattan judge declined to do so earlier this month, saying the attorney hadn’t properly backed up his arguments that the case didn’t belong in a New York court. (4/5)
While the notice is a demand for DNA, such demands sometimes spur court fights requiring a judge to weigh in on whether they will be enforced. The White House and Trump’s lawyer have not responded to a request for comment. (5/5) apne.ws/sysg6OF
