Former President Donald Trump's DNA will not be used as evidence in the civil suit brought by writer
E. Jean Carroll, who alleges Trump raped her in a New York City department store in the 1990s, the judge presiding over the case said Wednesday.
In a
21-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan said that the time for new evidence in the case had passed and that the matter will proceed to trial without a sample of Trump's DNA.
Carroll’s lawyers first asked Trump to turn over a sample of his DNA in January 2020 to see whether his genetic material was on a dress she said she wore during the alleged encounter. The request was to be used for “analysis and comparison against unidentified male DNA present on the dress,” they said.
