Trump will not mount a defence case in rape trial, his lawyers say
Donald Trump denied raping writer E Jean Carroll in a video played at the rape and defamation trial against him, as his lawyers told the court he will not present a defence case.
“The people of Ireland have been great and we’ve had tremendous success – and I hear we’re doing very well in New York,” he added.Carroll is a journalist and author who wrote the long-running “Ask E. Jean” advice column formagazine between 1993 and 2019. She has accused Trump of raping her in the lingerie dressing room of the Bergdorf Goodman department store in the mid-1990s – something that the former president insists never happened.
She testified that Carroll, now aged 79, has suffered from years of painful memories, low self-esteem and an inability to be intimate with others. Carroll’s lawsuit claims Trump is liable for battery for the alleged rape, as well as for defamation after he called her a liar when she went public with her story decades later. Several witnesses have also appeared to boost her case, including other women who say they were also sexually assaulted by the former president.
