Trump deposed in E Jean Carroll lawsuit accusing him of rape
The Guardian ^ | October 19, 2022 | Maya Yang

Donald Trump answered questions under oath Wednesday in a lawsuit filed by E Jean Carroll, a magazine columnist who says the Republican former president raped her in the mid-1990s in a department store dressing room.

The deposition gave Carroll’s lawyers a chance to interrogate Trump about the assault allegations as well as statements he made in 2019 when she told her story publicly for the first time.

Details on how the deposition went weren’t immediately disclosed.

Anything Trump said during his deposition could potentially be used as evidence in an upcoming civil trial. He hasn’t faced any criminal charges related to Carroll’s allegations and any prosecution is unlikely. The deadline for criminal charges over sexual assaults that occurred in the 1990s has long expired.

How much did they pay this woman to bring this up? Seems something that serious would have been pursued sooner than almost 3 decades ago.

Compare and contrast:

Mrs. Ivana Trump
Mrs. Melania Trump
E. Jean Carroll

C’mon man.
Trump wouldn’t even have sniffed her hair!

Which means they got zilch. Had they gotten any juicy details, they would have been leaked to WaPo by now.

What I think is hilarious is that the RAT “media” has convinced 97% of democRATS and their minions that President Trump is running for President next month. That opioid problem again.

They didn’t need to pay her anything, not directly. She was promoting a book. She makes the accusation, her book sales skyrocket.

LOL, at least Clinton trolled trailer parks with dollar bills!

The Left just gets people like Anita Hill or Christine Blasey-Ford who are eager and willing to debase themselves with lies.

And JFK and Clinton were both known serial rapists and sexual predators.

I laughed when Trump said the woman was not his type. In other words, her looks would make a freight train take a dirt road.

I guess she felt putting in being sexually assaulted by Trump would draw attention and help her sell more books.

It’s about the most lame sexual assault case I’ve ever seen. It’s worse than a freakin’ joke.

I was sexually assaulted by E. Jean Carroll in 1988 or 1989. I have zero proof of that other than my imagination. She should be locked up for tying our courts up with such bs lies just to help her sell books.

She says she has a Lewinsky outfit, and wants the dna tested against Trump.

This woman was very plain even when young. Trump has always had very beautiful women throwing themselves at him, so why would he even think of doing this creature?

Because women always keep for decades the dresses they were wearing when raped.

Sorry... this does sound like BS.

If there is a girl who is a virgin engaged to a man, and another man finds her in the city and lies with her, then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city and you shall stone them to death; the girl, because she did not cry out in the city, and the man, because he has violated his neighbor’s wife. Thus you shall purge the evil from among you.

“But if in the field the man finds the girl who is engaged, and the man forces her and lies with her, then only the man who lies with her shall die. But you shall do nothing to the girl; there is no sin in the girl worthy of death, for just as a man rises against his neighbor and murders him, so is this case. When he found her in the field, the engaged girl cried out, but there was no one to save her. Deuteronomy 22:23-27

If this happened in the dressing room of a department store, she should have screamed.

She gets to testify under oath that she does, and was raped/ had sex with him.

Mrs. Ivana Trump
Mrs. Melania Trump
E. Jean Carroll


You have to include Marla Maples, as she was Trump's wife during that period.

In any event, Carroll was 50 years old at the time.
