President Donald Trump's legal team has requested a delay in a civil trial involving author E. Jean Carroll, who has accused Trump of sexual assault. The request was made in a letter sent to District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, citing Trump's right to a fair trial and the need for a "cooling off" period between the trial and the ongoing news coverage of Trump's criminal case. The civil trial is part of a defamation lawsuit filed by Carroll against Trump in 2019, which could provide further insight into Trump's behavior and his relationship with women. It is unclear when the trial will take place, but it is expected to be delayed until after the resolution of Trump's criminal case in Manhattan.
