Former President Donald Trump called E. Jean Carroll’s rape allegation against him the “most ridiculous, disgusting story” when questioned by her lawyers, according to a tape of his deposition played in Manhattan federal court Wednesday.
Trump — who will not be attending any of the trial — said during the Oct. 19, 2022 deposition that if the rape did happen “it would have been reported in minutes.”
“It’s the most ridiculous, disgusting story,” Trump said to Carroll’s lawyer during the questioning.
“It’s just made up.”
Carroll’s attorneys began playing clips of the deposition in the ongoing trial over the former journalist’s suit accusing Trump, 76, of raping her in a Bergdorf Goodman fitting room, most likely in 1996.
