Donald Trump barred from countersuing E. Jean Carroll; judge slams his 'frivolous' delays

A federal judge in Manhattan has barred Donald Trump from countersuing rape accuser E. Jean Carroll — in a fiery new decision that accuses the former president of "dilatory" and "frivolous" delay tactics.

"In the Court's view, characterization of defendant's previous and threatened future actions as dilatory, in bad faith or unduly prejudicial would be a bootless excercise. They are, in varying degrees, all three," US District Judge Lewis Kaplan said in a 23-page ruling.
