Testimony began Wednesday in the civil defamation and battery trial of former President Trump, who is accused of raping a woman in a department store dressing room nearly 30 years ago.
Testimony began Wednesday in the civil defamation and battery trial of former President Trump, who is accused of raping a woman in a department store dressing room nearly 30 yearsAt first, she thought helping Donald Trump shop for a women's lingerie gift at a luxury department store would simply be "a funny New York thing."
As she took the stand to give testimony that sometimes brought her to tears, Trump, from afar, repeated his insistence that Carroll's claim of a 1996 rape is utter fiction. He called the case "a made-up scam," and more.& false story - Witch Hunt!" Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social. His comments prompted the judge to warn Trump's lawyers that he could bring more legal problems upon himself.
She said he asked her advice about selecting a gift for a woman, and she was delighted to oblige. As an advice columnist, to have Trump ask for gift guidance "was a wonderful prospect," and Carroll figured she would end up with a funny story, she said. The alleged attack happened long before the #MeToo movement forced a reckoning with how sexual assault victims are treated by law enforcement and the public. Carroll has said #MeToo fueled her decision to come forward in a 2019 memoir and accompanying magazine excerpt.
As court was about to begin Wednesday, Trump used Truth Social to vent his feelings again about the case and alluded to a DNA issue that Judge Lewis A. Kaplan has ruled can't be part of the case.Trump, the judge said, appeared to be addressing his supporters and the jury "about stuff that has no business being spoken about." Kaplan called Trump's post "a public statement that, on the face of it, seems entirely inappropriate.
