Jurors watched former President Donald Trump's video-recorded deposition as he chose not to testify in E. Jean Carroll defamation lawsuit.
Wednesday's session featured testimony from a woman who said Trump physically assaulted her.
Natasha Stoynoff, a journalist, said Trump shoved her up against a wall and tried to kiss her during a 2005 tour of his Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Fla. Trump has denied the allegation. Attorneys also played the infamous audio tape of Trump talking about women by saying he could"grab 'em by the p----y." The tape surfaced during the 2016 campaign and was made just before Trump filmed a segment on the program"Access Hollywood."Psychological testimony
The judge and attorneys discussed the schedule during a break in testimony from a psychologist who discussed Carroll's emotional scars from the incident. Leslie Lebowitz, a clinical psychologist and trauma specialist who has interviewed Carroll for some 20 hours, said the assault"made her feel she was worthless. She felt degraded, diminished."Carroll is suing Trump for defamation, claiming he lied about the attack and disparaged her character while doing so.
