Trump, in deposition, doubles down on 'Access Hollywood' remark about grabbing women
Former President Donald Trump, who said in the infamous "Access Hollywood" tape that "when you're a star, you can do anything" to women, doubled down on those remarks in the just-released deposition he gave in the E. Jean Carroll defamation and battery case.
Evidence from the trial, including Trump's October 2022 deposition, was released Friday, a day after both sides rested their case following a week of testimony.
Carroll, who brought the lawsuit in November, alleges that Trump defamed her in his Truth Social post by calling her allegations "a Hoax and a lie" and saying "This woman is not my type!" when he denied her claim that Trump raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s.
The former Elle magazine columnist added a charge of battery under a recently adopted New York law that allows adult survivors of sexual abuse to sue their alleged attacker regardless of the statute of limitations. Trump has denied all allegations that he raped Carroll or defamed her.
