Jean Carroll, stemming from a civil defamation case and a 2022 verdict. The 2022 verdict found Trump liable for sexual abuse against Carroll, a former magazine writer, and for defaming her in a separate case. Trump’s attorneys sought the delay, arguing his new lead counsel needed more time to familiarize with the case, but Carroll’s attorney accused him of stalling.
