Judge rejects Trump's 'frivolous' bid to delay E. Jean Carroll defamation trial

A federal judge denied Trump's fourth attempt to delay the trial in Carroll's defamation lawsuit.
The judge deemed Trump's appeal frivolous and an attempt to delay the resolution of the case.
Carroll accused Trump of defaming her by denying her sexual assault allegations against him.
In a separate case, a jury awarded Carroll $5 million in damages for battery and defamation claims.
The defamation trial is scheduled to begin January 15, 2024, likely around the Iowa caucus.
