A federal judge scheduled E. Jean Carroll’s second defamation trial against former President Donald Trump for January 2024, just days before Republican primary voters will begin the presidential nomination process.
On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan set Carroll’s civil trial against Trump for January 15, 2024, in a brief scheduling order.
The scheduling comes days after Kaplan allowed Carroll to amend her second defamation lawsuit against Trump to seek up to $10 million in damages.
Last month, a nine-member jury found Trump liable for sexual battery and defaming Carroll and granted her an award of $5 million in damages. The jury awarded Carroll $2 million in damages for the sexual battery claim and $3 million for defamation.
Carroll’s second lawsuit stems from comments Trump made in 2019 regarding her accusations of rape. Kaplan allowed Carroll to amend her lawsuit to include Trump’s comments at a recent CNN town hall, where he insisted he had “no idea who this woman is” and that her allegations are a “fake” and a “made-up story.”

This judge sounds politically corrupted. Just another day in the destruction of America.
How do you molest someone in the First Class section of an airplane? There are a lot of passengers and staff there.
Is Trump “the Invisible Man”? Sci-first fans really want to know!
Hopefully he fights back with his accusers. I don’t know why anyone thinks he should “put a sock in it”.
What total BS.
You have to be a moron to find this believable.
Oh that’s right...it’s NEW YORK.
I hope he appeals this crap.
Is Soros bankrolling E. Jean Carroll?
If it was up to me Alvin Bragg, Jack Smith, and Merrick Garland would be out of a job today.
But what does Alvin Bragg have to do with a case in Federal Court? You only Trumpers are confused people. You think with your emotions just like Liberals.
Conspiracy of intent. Ever heard of it? Howzabout Sorros funding elections of DA’s and State Attorneys General? You RINOs aren’t half as clever as you dream.

Just imagine getting paid vast sums to prove you are BAT CRAP CRAZY
You DeSantis fanboys love to assume.
Yes, I support Trump and will vote for him. But, if DeSantis is the nominee, I will support him, despite the despicable and hate filled DeSantis cultists who infest this site.
Sorry to destroy your narrative. .
I never assume. I only observe. LOL
I’m not aware of any pro-Desantis cult. I am aware of the only-Trump cult, and the anyone-but-Trump response. Desantis looks good to me, but anyone but Trump can win in 2024, and we really need to win!
Why not Trump? He will lose! The only people in America who now think he didn’t assault E. Jean Carroll are members of the only-Trump cult. There are others, like me, who really don’t care if he did or not; we like most of his public policies and will vote for him in a general election against a Rat. But a majority of Americans, especially American women, will not vote for Trump. The 2020-style Rat fraud may not even be needed in 2024 if Trump is the GOP nominee.
The only-Trump-cult rant that Judge Kaplan is a leftist and the jury were just delusional New Yorkers won’t sell. Alvin Bragg & Jack Smith are leftists, and their anti-law indictments only greatly help Trump. But as far as I can tell Lewis Kaplan is just a hard-nosed judge who takes no nonsense from anyone.
Trump lost in Kaplan’s court, will lose again next January, and will lose in November 2024 if as now seems likely he is the Republican nominee. It seems like an unfolding Greek tragedy to me, and I wish I knew what to do about it.
