The statement was recorded in October last year in the presence of Carroll’s lawyers, but its contents have so far been classified. Even after the screening in court, the images have not been released, but parts of the text have been included in the public court documents. Trump has previously dismissed Carroll’s accusations as “lies.” He refuses to testify in person in court and does not attend the hearings.
Carroll, 79, accuses Trump (76) of raping her in the fitting room of a New York department store in the 1990s. She also finds him guilty of libel. She is seeking compensation for the psychological suffering allegedly inflicted on her.
Carroll testified at length last week about what allegedly happened. Trump raped her in a fitting room, the writer said in an emotional testimony. This negatively affected her relationships with men for the rest of her life. On Tuesday and Wednesday, two other women testified that they were sexually assaulted by Trump in 2005 and 1979. Trump’s lawyers told the judge on Wednesday that the defense will not call witnesses.
