A judge declined to consolidate two of E. Jean Carroll's defamation lawsuits against former President Donald Trump but allowed the indefinite postponement of her initial lawsuit against him.

Last week, Trump and Carroll agreed to combine the two defamation lawsuits she filed against him. Carroll, a former magazine columnist, accused him of raping her in the 1990s and later sued after he claimed she lied about the allegations.But Judge Lewis A. Kaplan wrote Monday in his motion to deny consolidating the cases that the parties"overestimate both the judicial economy benefits that would be achieved and the risk of inconsistent rulings that would be eliminated by consolidation.

Trump and Caroll's agreement on Friday was a move to conjoin two lawsuits in the yearslong legal battle brought by Carroll, who sued Trump for defamation in 2019 after he denied claims he had raped her in a New York department store in the mid-1990s. Carroll filed the suit after Trump repeatedly denied the allegations, describing her as “not my type.”
