Attorneys for writer E. Jean Carroll argued that nobody, even a former president, is above the law, while Trump's attorneys called Carroll's claims a work of fiction.
Kaplan recalled Trump’s comment that “stars like him can get away with sexually assaulting women.”
Carroll is seen arriving at the federal court in New York on Monday. Trump rejected his last chance to testify at the civil trial.Repeatedly, Tacopina labeled Carroll’s claims as “unbelievable,” saying she brought them to raise her status and for political reasons. Defense attorney Joe Tacopina, left, cross-examines Carroll on the witness stand with Judge Lewis Kaplan presiding on May 1.“In a very real sense, Donald Trump is a witness against himself,” she said. “He knows what he did. He knows that he sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll.”Jessica Leeds, 81, said he grabbed her chest and ran his hand up her skirt on a 1979 airline flight.
Carroll said she was leaving the Bergdorf Goodman store through a revolving door in spring 1996 when Trump was entering the store and stopped her to help him shop for a gift for a woman.Carroll, a former “Saturday Night Live” writer, said they took escalators to the store’s desolate sixth floor, where they teased each other about trying on a piece of see-through lingerie.
