asked a New York judge to dismiss an allegation from a woman who claimed he raped her in a department store dressing room 20 years ago.
Trumps lawyer said in a court filing Friday that E. Jean Carroll, an advice columnist, cannot sue the president in New York because the statements on issue were made in Washington.
Trump denies Carrolls claims and said New York courts lack personal jurisdiction over him even when the purported statements were published to New York readers/listeners, or were directed towards or caused harm to a New York citizen.
The president also noted that he hadnt been served the complaint in New York. Carroll has claimed that Secret Service agents blocked her attempts to serve the complaint, and a judge ruled she could serve it by mail to the White House.
Carrolls attorney said Trumps understanding of the law around personal jurisdiction is wrong and meant to avoid having to hand over documents.
