Trump's Testimony and Insulting Remarks in E. Jean Carroll's Rape Accusation Trial.

Donald Trump appeared to mistake E Jean Carroll for his ex-wife Marla Maples in a deposition played for jurors in Ms Carroll's civil rape suit against him. Lawyers for Ms Carroll have argued that Mr Trump's confusion over the photo undermines his claim that Ms Carroll is "not my type", a comment he has repeated since she first came forward with the allegation in 2019. Both sides rested their case on Thursday, though Mr Trump's team called no witnesses in his defence. The nine-member jury was shown the video of a combative deposition between the former president and Roberta Kaplan, one of Ms Carroll's lawyers, filmed last October. Ms Carroll was able to bring the civil case against Mr Trump after New York passed the Adult Survivors Act in 2022.
