She first sued after Trump denied the accusation in June 2019, telling a reporter at the White House he did not know Carroll, who was “not my type”, and that she concocted the claim to sell a memoir.
The judge said lawmakers passed the law to help sexual abuse victims who might have suppressed memories of their attacks, or like Carroll were deterred from suing out of fear.
