Read previewAt a press conference at Trump Tower in Manhattan on Friday, former President Donald Trump wanted the world to know he would never have sexually assaulted Jessica Leeds. "She would not have been the chosen one," he told reporters, implying her appearance wasn't up to his standards. On Monday, Leeds held a press conference of her own to confront him on that insult. With Trump Tower as her backdrop, she called the GOP presidential candidate "a sexual predator" and said she is deciding whether to sue him. Jessica Leeds speaks during a press conference outside Trump Tower.

The judge who oversaw the trial later said: "Trump 'raped' her as many people commonly understand the word 'rape.'" AdvertisementBut the lawyers who won Weinstein's appeal told Business Insider that what worked for their client probably wouldn't work for Trump. In the May 2023 verdict, the jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation and awarded Carroll $5 million in damages. In the second trial, earlier this year, a separate jury said Trump owed Carroll an additional $83 million in defamation damages. AdvertisementInstead, it needed to find it was "more probable than not" that Trump sexually assaulted Carroll, a standard far more common in civil cases.

A lawyer for a writer who says Donald Trump sexually abused her in the 1990s and then defamed her while president in 2019 said Saturday that the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape and two women who accused Trump of abuse will not be put before a New York jury considering defamation damages. Trump attended the trial for two of its first three days, only skipping it on Thursday, when he attended the funeral of his mother-in-law in Florida. Both women testified at the trial that ended last May. Trump, 77, has denied her claims in the last week during campaign stops, on social media and at a news conference. However, Kaplan said she does plan to show the jury statements Trump has made since her client finished testifying in the case on Thursday.

In the deposition, Trump describes the Access Hollywood tape dropping just days before the 2016 election. Prosecutors say the tape "features prominently" in their case, which alleges that Trump falsified business documents to hide a $130,000 payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels. Trump's deposition in the Carroll case fills 209 pages of transcript, only 98 pages of which have been made public. "For example, defendant testified during his deposition about his statements captured on what is known as the Access Hollywood tape," the filing says. "The Access Hollywood tape, released publicly in October 2016 during the course of defendant's campaign for President, features prominently in the People's case," the filing says.

NEW YORK, May 9 (Reuters) - Donald Trump must pay $5 million in damages for sexually abusing magazine writer E. Jean Carroll in the 1990s and then defaming her by branding her a liar, a jury decided on Tuesday. Its six men and three women awarded Carroll $5 million in compensatory and punitive damages, but Trump will not have to pay so long as the case is on appeal. Trump has cited the Carroll trial in campaign fundraising emails as evidence of what he portrays as a Democratic plot. TRUMP MISTAKES CARROLL FOR EX-WIFECarroll testified that she bumped into Trump at Bergdorf's and agreed to help him pick out a gift for another woman. Jurors were tasked with deciding whether Trump raped, sexually abused or forcibly touched Carroll, and were separately asked if Trump defamed Carroll.
The jury deliberated for just under three hours before rejecting Trump's denial that he assaulted Carroll. Trump has cited the Carroll trial in campaign fundraising emails as evidence of what he portrays as a Democratic plot to damage him politically. Jurors were tasked with deciding whether Trump raped, sexually abused or forcibly touched Carroll, any one of which would satisfy her claim of battery. Kaplan, Carroll's lawyer, told jurors during closing arguments on Monday that the 2005 video was proof that Trump had assaulted Carroll and other women. Previously Trump had said he could not have raped Carroll because she was "not my type."

A Manhattan jury found Donald Trump liable for the sexual abuse of E. Jean Carroll. "They're trying to take parts of Donald Trump you dislike and stretch it over Ms. Carroll's story," Tacopina said. Carroll's lawyers, for their part, said their willingness to bring the case to court only made them more believable. "There wasn't even a 'he said,' because Donald Trump never even looked you in the eye and said she was a liar," Ferrara said. "You heard from Donald Trump himself — this is just how he treats women," Ferrara said.
Carroll receiving a monetary award from this trial hinged on whether the jury unanimously believed her claims against Trump. “For E. Jean Carroll this lawsuit is not about the money,” attorney Roberta Kaplan said during closing arguments on Monday. Trump appears the most agitated on the video when he denies Carroll’s rape allegation. Two friends that Carroll testified she told soon after the alleged rape testified about their recollection of Carroll’s account in 1996. Tacopina in his closing argument Monday also accused Carroll of fabricating her rape allegations to sell her book.
Donald Trump's lawyers have tried to undermine E. Jean Carroll, who accuses him of rape. Just moments later, Trump's lawyers rested their case as well, without presenting any evidence. Carroll and her friends, Trump's lawyers suggest, all have Trump Derangement Syndrome. According to Trump's lawyers, the whole lawsuit is a conspiracy schemed up by ardent Trump critic George Conway. AP Photo/John MinchilloTrump's attorney pointed out that Birnbach had said Trump and his allies had symptoms of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
CNN —The video deposition of Donald Trump played before the jury in the E. Jean Carroll civil battery and defamation trial was made public Friday, showing the former president discussing the accusations against him, the “Access Hollywood” tape and the Russia “hoax.”The edited deposition runs for nearly an hour. In the video, Trump confirms that he made the allegedly defamatory statements denying knowing Carroll, calling her allegations that he raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman’s dressing room in the mid-1990s a “hoax,” and saying she is not his type. And many times during the deposition, he calls Carroll a series of names, including “nut job,” a “whack job” and “mentally sick.”Trump also mistakes Carroll in a black-and-white photo for his second wife, Marla Maples. In addition, Trump reacts to allegations from two other women – Jessica Leeds and Natasha Stoynoff. And, Trump rattles off a list of what he deems as hoaxes, including, “Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine.”
Donald Trump was deposed for a rape and defamation lawsuit brought by E. Jean Carroll. Under oath, Trump denied the rapeIn response to deposition questions by Carroll's attorney Roberta Kaplan, Trump continued to deny raping Carroll, as she alleged, and called her "mentally sick" and "not my type." In the deposition, Trump said he seldom purchased gifts for women he dated and denied that he publicly dated other women while married to Maples. AP Photo/John MinchilloTrump appeared to mix up various timeframes throughout the deposition video shown to jurors. Trump's attorney Joe Tacopina has said Trump will not testify in the Carroll trial, and rested the defense case on Thursday afternoon without bringing any witnesses.
Lawyers for E. Jean Carroll rested her civil case against Donald Trump on Thursday, shortly after jurors were shown a deposition video of the former president confusing the accuser with his ex-wife Marla Maples. "It's Marla," Trump said during a deposition for the case when shown a picture of him, Carroll and Carroll's ex-husband in the 1980s. The end of Carroll's case potentially paves the way for the trial to move to closing arguments on Monday. Asked if he was going to the trial, he said, "I'll probably attend," according to a Sky News video of his remarks. In the deposition, Trump also mocked two other women who've accused him of sexual misconduct: Jessica Leeds, a retired stockbroker, and Natasha Stoynoff, a former People magazine reporter.

REUTERS/Russell CheyneMay 3 (Reuters) - Donald Trump denied raping writer E. Jean Carroll in a deposition video played on Wednesday for a Manhattan federal jury, as the former U.S. president sought to defend himself in a civil trial without testifying in person. “It’s the most ridiculous, disgusting story,” Trump said in the video, hunched over a conference table as Carroll’s lawyers presented documents to him. "I hear we're doing very well in New York," Trump said on Wednesday when asked why he was not in court. The trial has also featured testimony from two women who say Trump sexually assaulted them decades ago.
[1/3] Former U.S. President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump reacts after arriving at Aberdeen International Airport in Aberdeen, Scotland, Britain May 1, 2023. Trump, front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, said in the October 2022 deposition that the alleged rape in the dressing room of the Bergdorf Goodman department store in New York City decades ago didn’t happen. “It’s the most ridiculous, disgusting story,” Trump said in the video, hunched over a conference table as Carroll’s lawyers presented documents to him. The trial has also featured testimony from two women who say Trump sexually assaulted them decades ago. Another woman, Jessica Leeds, testified on Tuesday that Trump kissed her, groped her and put his hand up her skirt on a flight in 1979.
It was Ms. Martin who advised her not to go to the police, Ms. Carroll testified. Ms. Kaplan said they also expected that Ms. Carroll’s sister would testify. Ms. Kaplan said she planned to finish presenting Ms. Carroll’s case perhaps by midday on Thursday. “She said, ‘Lisa, you are not going to believe what happened to me,’” Ms. Birnbach testified. She said Ms. Carroll sounded “breathless, hyperventilating, emotional.”
On Tuesday, Tacopina said the 76-year-old Trump would not testify before the jury in U.S. District Court in Manhattan. Trump has not appeared in that court since the trial began last week. Carroll, 79, alleges that Trump raped her in a dressing room of the Bergdorf Goodman department store in Manhattan after a chance encounter with him there. Trump has also said he would not have even had consensual sex with her because she was not his "type." However, during questioning under oath by Carroll's lawyer for his deposition, Trump mistook Carroll for his former wife Marla Maples in a photo that shows Carroll and her then-husband John Johnson with Trump and his then-wife Ivana Trump.
Trump's lawyer Joseph Tacopina has requested a mistrial in the E. Jean Carroll rape case. The request accused the court of acting in "pervasive unfair and prejudicial rulings." Tacopina said the court has "mischaracterized" evidence in favor of Carroll. Tacopina's request alleges that the court has "bolstered the testimony" of Carroll and allowed her to avoid clarifying information about surveillance cameras. Tacopina's request for a mistrial comes during ongoing testimony from Carroll in her civil trial against Trump, which is happening in Manhattan federal court.
She told jurors they would also hear testimony from two other women who say Trump sexually assaulted them, which Trump denies. Trump's lawyer Joe Tacopina countered in his opening statement that the evidence will show the former U.S. president did not assault Carroll. Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts on April 4 at a New York state courthouse, a three-minute walk from Tuesday's trial. Trump did not attend the trial and is not required to, and according to lawyers from both sides is unlikely to testify. Carroll is also suing Trump for defamation after he first denied her rape claim in June 2019, when he was still president.
[1/2] U.S. President Donald Trump rape accuser E. Jean Carroll arrives for her hearing at federal court during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic in the Manhattan borough of New York City, New York, U.S., October 21, 2020. There, he called Carroll's rape claim a "Hoax and a lie" for promoting her memoir, and maintained that she was "not my type!" Carroll first sued Trump for defamation in November 2019, five months after he first denied her rape claim. She has long accused Trump of stalling, and U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan has rejected multiple efforts by Trump to delay Carroll's case. Last year, Trump refused to let his Trump Organization concede wrongdoing in a New York criminal tax fraud case, which ended in a conviction that is being appealed.
Carroll sued Trump when he loudly denied her claim that he raped her in the mid-1990s. Thus, in order to prevail on her libel claim, Ms. Carroll must prove that Mr. Trump sexually assaulted her," Kaplan wrote in his ruling. "Mr. Trump's alleged sexual assaults on Mss. Indeed that surely is why Mr. Trump seeks to exclude it." Representatives for Trump and Carroll did not immediately return Insider's request for comment on Judge Kaplan's ruling Friday.
Trump's lawyers asked to have his infamous Access Hollywood tape banned from an upcoming trial. The request to exclude the "Access Hollywood" tape was made in the defamation case. Trump's lawyers argued in court filings Thursday that the "Access Hollywood" tape "must be precluded" from trial because it is "irrelevant and highly prejudicial." In the tape, a hot mic captured Trump bragging to "Access Hollywood" host Billy Bush in 2005 about groping women without their consent. Trump has denied ever sexually assaulting anyone and has dismissed his "Access Hollywood" comments as "locker-room talk."
Trump's lawyers also asked Kaplan to prevent attorneys for Carroll, 79, from showing jurors evidence of Trump's speeches and statements when he campaigned for president. Leeds has said the now-76-year-old Trump sexually assaulted her on an airplane around 1979 after a stewardess invited her to sit next to him in first class. "Stoynoff's and Leeds' accusations against Trump, and his responses denying those accusations, are relevant evidence that he committed additional sexual assaults," the filing says. Carroll, in making her claims, joined at least two dozen or so women who have alleged sexual misconduct by Trump over five decades. During his own recent deposition by Carroll's lawyers, Trump repeated his claim that Carroll is not his type.
