A New York judge rejected President Donald Trumps argument that living in Washington means he cant be sued in the state by an advice columnist who claims he raped her two decades ago and then lied about it.
The decision denying Trumps bid to dismiss the case, revealed on Thursday, is an early victory for E. Jean Carroll, who went public with her allegations in a June magazine article and sued in November. The judge also denied Trumps request to delay the exchange of evidence between the parties.

Too afraid to submit a sworn affidavit.

Can't wait to see what documents Ms Carroll's attorneys request. If she's claiming monetary damages (and I suppose she is) the plaintiff attorney can validly request Trump income documents.

So Trump isn't denying it happened, he's just claiming that he can't be sued in that jurisdiction?

defamation might be hard to prove, though.
