Donald Trump has been deposed in a defamation lawsuit brought by writer E. Jean Carroll after he denied her allegations that he had raped her in the mid-1990s.

The deposition came a week after a federal judge denied his bid to postpone proceeding, rejecting his contention that questioning the former president under oath would impose an “undue burden.”
