A federal judge on Wednesday denied former President Donald Trump’s request to pause his deposition in a defamation lawsuit scheduled for next week.

Trump is scheduled to be deposed on October 19 in the defamation lawsuit brought by E. Jean Carroll, a former magazine columnist who accused Trump of raping her in a department store in the mid 1990s. Trump has denied the allegations.

Judge Lewis Kaplan said a federal appeals court could decide the outcome of the lawsuit either way, and that was not a reason to pause the depositions and document collection.
