A judge ruled that an advice columnist who sued President Donald Trump for defamation after he denied raping her two decades ago can mail her complaint to the White House after Secret Service agents blocked multiple attempts to formally serve the document.

New York State Supreme Court Justice Deborah Kaplan issued the order Tuesday at the request of E. Jean Carroll, who went public with her allegations against the president in a June magazine article.
