A federal judge gave former President Donald Trump more time to argue against the partial release of his deposition in a lawsuit by a woman who claims he raped her in the 1990s.

US District Judge Lewis Kaplan on Monday initially ordered the unsealing of 34 pages of Trump’s testimony in a defamation suit by New York writer E. Jean Carroll. Hours later, Kaplan granted a request by Trump to delay the release for three days while they file a formal objection.
