A New York federal Judge ruled that the ManhattanDA's Office can subpoena a deposition used in the civil trial for E. Jean Carroll after prosecutors said it contained information relevant to Donald Trump's alleged 'hush money' case.
A New York federal Judge ruled Thursday that the Manhattan District Attorney's Office can subpoena a deposition used in the civil trial for E. Jean Carroll after prosecutors said it contained information relevant to former President Donald Trump's alleged"hush money" case.
Trump was ordered on May 9 in a separate court battle to pay roughly $5 million in damages after a New York jury found him liable for defamation after he denied raping Carroll in the mid-1990s. The former president is in the process of appealing the civil suit decision and is grappling with a similar defamation lawsuit also filed by Carroll.
In filings that have not been made public, Trump's lawyers sought to shield a variety of communications between Trump Organization employees and White House staff between Inauguration Day 2017 and Dec. 31, 2017. A separate effort to subpoena Melania Trump's emails failed, with a different judge ruling the subpoenas were overly broad.
Trump was indicted again in a separate federal case on June 9, and prosecutors led by special counsel Jack Smith initially accused him of 37 felonies related to the"willful retention" of classified records. On July 27, Smith's office added three more counts against Trump, including two new obstruction counts and one additional account of willful retention of a classified document.
