A writer suing Trump has taken the stand to tell jurors that the future president raped her after she accompanied him into a deluxe department store fitting room in 1996.
Former advice columnist E. Jean Carroll arrives to Manhattan federal court, Wednesday, April 26, 2023, in New York. A nearly 30-year-old rape claim against former President Donald Trump went to trial Tuesday as jurors in the federal civil case heard Carrolls allegation of being attacked in a luxury department store dressing room. – At 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.
“I’m here because Donald Trump raped me, and when I wrote about it, he said it didn’t happen. He lied and shattered my reputation, and I’m here to try and get my life back,” Carroll told jurors. Carroll, a 79-year-old former advice columnist, was largely matter-of-fact on the witness stand — so much so that after she wept while telling jurors that"being able to get my day in court is everything to me,” she rapidly composed herself and declined to take a break.Carroll testified that she crossed paths with Trump at the revolving door to Bergdorf Goodman on an unspecified Thursday evening in spring 1996.
But then, she alleges, Trump stamped his mouth onto hers, yanked down her tights and shoved his hand and then his penis inside her while she struggled against him. She said she finally kneed him off her and fled.
