Summary

Donald Trump has been ordered to sit for a deposition the week of Dec. 16 in his defamation lawsuit against ABC News and George Stephanopoulos.

The lawsuit stems from Stephanopoulos’ March statement that Trump had been “found liable for rape,” which Trump claims is defamatory.

While a jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll but not for rape, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan later stated Trump did “‘rape’ Ms. Carroll as that term commonly is used.”

Both Trump and Stephanopoulos will be deposed, with sessions limited to four hours.

    10 upvotes for bemoaning that Trump won’t be punished if he loses a lawsuit he instigated.

      well, the asshole has been on the recieving end on so many fucking lawsuits, it gets hard to interpret news about “TRUMP TOLD TO DO SOMETHING IN LEGAL CONTEXT” without thinking his ass is being told off, but won’t suffer any consequences.
