Author testifies about rape charges against Trump in court – news Urix – Foreign news and documentaries

– I am here because Donald Trump raped me, said Carroll (79) in the courtroom in New York on Wednesday. She has taken civil action against the former president (76) for defamation. – And when I wrote about it, he lied and said it didn’t happen. He lied and ruined my reputation. I’m here to try to get my life back, she said. The case concerns a rape that is said to have taken place in the 90s, and the aftermath her debt has had. She believes he defamed her after she went public with the story several years later. Told details from the fitting room During the testimony, Carroll spoke of a chance meeting with Trump at the department store Bergdorf Goodman in Manhattan in late 1995 or early 1996. The meeting quickly turned violent. According to her, Trump asked for advice when he was going to buy women’s underwear as a gift. He got her into an examination room, where the rape is said to have taken place. – While I’m sitting here now, I can still feel it. The incident left me unable to have a romantic life ever again, Carroll said. She also said that she blamed herself for what happened. She feared getting fired or retaliation from Trump if she reported him to the police. If he rejects the debts on Thursday, it is expected that Trump’s lawyers will be able to ask Carroll questions. It is expected that, among other things, they will challenge her that she does not remember exactly when the abuse is supposed to have happened. The case is one of several legal challenges facing Trump as he tries again to become president in 2024. Trump was not present in court during Carroll’s testimony on Wednesday. He is not required to appear during the trial. Trump has rejected the debts several times. On Wednesday, he referred to the case as a witch hunt in social media, and asked how anyone could believe that Carroll’s claims are true. – Didn’t she scream? Is there no witness? Did no one see this?, he wrote.
