A New York County Supreme Court justice ordered Wednesday that President Donald Trump can be served by mail with a summons from author E. Jean Carroll in her defamation suit against him.
Carroll, who has alleged that Trump sexually assaulted her at the Manhattan department store Bergdorf Goodman in the 1990s, is suing him for defamation. In the complaint, Carroll alleged that Trump attempted to destroy her reputation with a series of lies, including with the implication that she had falsely accused other men of rape.
Carroll and her lawyer, Roberta Kaplan of Kaplan Hecker & Fink, can mail the summons to Trump at Trump Tower in Manhattan and at the White House, New York Supreme Court Administrative Justice Deborah Kaplan ordered. The complaint was filed Nov. 4. Trump has previously denied Carroll's accusation and denied knowing her at all.
