NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump angrily lashed out in a statement after a judge ordered him to answer questions under oath next week in a defamation lawsuit filed by a writer who says he raped her in the mid-1990s. The ruling Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan prompted the defiant statement from Trump in which he called writer E. Jean Carroll’s lawsuit a “complete con job” and a “hoax” and a “lie.” She says Trump raped her in an upscale Manhattan department store’s dressing room. Trump’s outburst came after Kaplan rejected a request by his lawyers to delay his testimony, set for Oct. 19.
