    "by the very definition, you can’t rape your spouse" - uh, what??? Marital rape has been illegal in New York since 1984. Might want to mention that in the answer (it kind of goes to the credibility of the lawyer's statement if the second sentence is an outright lie).

    "the deposition in question is missing and was possibly destroyed in a fire" This is the worrying bit.

    Wow, you'd think someone who was special legal counsel would know enough to not say something that ignorant and legally wrong. Commented Sep 28, 2017 at 14:57

    The Federal definition of "rape" doesn't have a "spouse" clause, even before it was changed in 2014. ucr.fbi.gov/recent-program-updates/… And after Trump's own changes, it apparently only matters if it was violent. independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/… Commented Sep 10, 2020 at 19:30
