Judge Rejects Donald Trump's Request for Delay in E. Jean Carroll Defamation Trial

Donald Trump is being sued by E. Jean Carroll for defamation and sexual battery after denying her claim that he raped her in the '90s.
Trump's lawyers requested a one-month delay in the trial, claiming recent media coverage of other legal issues against Trump would make it hard to find impartial jurors.
The federal judge denied the request, saying Trump's own actions largely provoked the media coverage and the jury selection process would account for jurors' awareness of Trump's legal issues.
The trial is set to begin April 25 to determine if Trump defamed Carroll when he denied her accusation of rape against him.
Carroll claims Trump sexually assaulted her in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s, which Trump denies.
