U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled in a pretrial summary judgment that the upcoming Jan. 15, 2024, trial will only be about how much former President Donald Trump owes writer E. Jean Carroll in her defamation suit.

The partial victory was granted in a Sept. 6 order after the judge denied a request from President Trump’s attorneys to delay the trial in light of his ongoing criminal legal trials.
