Jean Carroll and Donald Trump.

REUTERS/Jane RosenbergMay 2 (Reuters) - A friend of E. Jean Carroll on Tuesday backed up the writer’s account of being raped by Donald Trump, testifying during a civil trial that she received a phone call about the alleged attack minutes after it occurred. Birnbach, author of many books including "The Official Preppy Handbook,” said Carroll told her Trump slammed her into the wall, pulled down her tights and “penetrated her with his penis.”“I whispered, E. Jean, he raped you. Carroll told jurors last week that Trump put his fingers into her vagina, which she called "extremely painful," and then inserted his penis. Birnbach testified that Carroll refused to go to the police after the alleged rape and asked her to never tell anyone about the incident.

Trump was deposed at Mar-a-Lago on Wednesday in writer E. Jean Carroll's 2019 rape defamation suit. In his first response, Trump 'truthed' two clips from the conservative video platform Rumble.

Carroll has accused Trump of raping her in the mid-'90s in the fitting room of a Manhattan Bergdorf Goodman store.
