However,\u2063 U.S. \u200bDistrict Judge Lewis Kaplan has \u2063now dismissed Trump&#8217;s \u200dclaim, stating that \u2063Carroll&#8217;s statements were &#8220;substantially\u2062 true.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We are \u200dpleased \u2063that the Court dismissed Donald \u200cTrump&#8217;s counterclaim,&#8221;\u2064 said Carroll&#8217;s attorney, Roberta Kaplan.\u200c &#8220;That means that the January 15th jury trial will be limited to\u2064 a narrow set of issues and shouldn&#8217;t \u200btake very long to complete.

Judge Kaplan agreed with this argument, noting that\u200c New \u200bYork penal law\u200d defines rape as forcible penetration of the vagina by a penis.<\/p>\n<p>Trump,\u2062 who has consistently denied Carroll&#8217;s allegations, has\u2064 appealed the jury&#8217;s verdict \u200cthat ordered him\u200b to pay $5 million in damages.
