President-elect Donald J. Trump has been ordered by a federal judge to sit for a deposition regarding his defamation lawsuit against ABC's George Stephanopoulos, illustrating the clash between his legal challenges and political duties.
In March, Trump claimed Stephanopoulos damaged his reputation by indicating he was found liable for rape, relating to a previous jury verdict on allegations by E. Jean Carroll.
Magistrate Judge Reid stated the depositions must take place next week in Florida, further intertwining Trump's legal predicaments with his pre-presidency responsibilities.
This case reflects the complexities of Trump's transition to the presidency, as he juggles cabinet nominations and legal disputes stemming from prior accusations and their media coverage.
