Trump's attorneys said they previously had believed, as a result of a prior order by Kaplan, that Carroll's lawyers, not they, were obligated to address the question of whether the deposition should remain under seal.Kaplan agreed to give Trump's lawyers the time they requested, keeping the documents out of public view, for now.That new suit also added a count of battery, which Carroll was allowed to claim with the recent enactment of New York's Adult Survivors Act, which opened a one-year window for adults to file civil claims of sexual assault even if those allegations fall outside of the normal statute of limitations.All of the questions they posed and the answers he gave in that deposition — which was conducted as part of Carroll's first defamation lawsuit — were blacked out in a publicly available copy of the filing.Madaio wrote that after Kaplan issued an order last month in the case, he had believed that the burden was on Carroll's lawyers to explain why unsealing the deposition transcript was necessary."
