A federal judge has denied the latest request to delay trial for a defamation lawsuit E. Jean Carroll brought against former President Donald Trump, writing that “the appeal itself is frivolous.”

Ms. Carroll brought the suit against the former president in 2019, and district judge Lewis Kaplan wrote that the trial has yet to begin largely due to President Trump’s “repeated efforts to delay,” and that he has already made four such requests.
