That isn't what they said. They are attempting to demand what he says in his testimony. What she said was "President Trump cannot and should not be made to testify under oath in any particular affirmative manner."
From the Article:
Carroll's legal team requested Trump be required to state on the record and under oath, "that he understands that it is established for purposes of the trial that he sexually assaulted Ms. Carroll and he spoke falsely with actual malice and lied when accusing her of fabricating her account and impugning her motives and that Mr. Trump further understands and accepts all of the limits that the Court has imposed on his testimony in this action and will conduct himself in the courtroom in accordance with those limitations."
Alina Habba responded like this:
On Sunday, in a letter to Kaplan, Habba responded to Carroll's legal team and addressed the request, as she outlined several issues she has with the proposals, and wrote that, "President Trump cannot and should not be made to testify under oath in any particular affirmative manner."
Asking him to affirm under oath that he understands the legal situation he's in isn't forcing testimony that is of consequence in the current case. It's similar to a "do you understand your situation" question.
