On Friday, the public gained access to footage of the deposition given by former President Donald Trump in October 2022 for the defamation lawsuit filed by E. Jean Carroll.
Inner City Press had previously written a letter to Judge Lewis Kaplan, the presiding judge in the trial, requesting the release of the deposition and other evidence to the general public.
“Inner City Press and others have been covering this case involving a former president of the United States being sued for battery / sexual assault as well as defamation,” Matthew Lee of Inner City Press wrote to Kaplan. “The exhibits, as well as the still-sealed motions and briefs, are of public interest.”
