E. Jean Carroll's Attorney Says Trump ‘Knows What He Did'; Trump's Attorney Calls Accusations ‘Unbelievable'

Judge Lewis A. Kaplan told jurors that they would begin deliberations Tuesday

Trump's attorney, Joe Tacopina, attacked the allegations as absurd, saying they were an “affront to justice” and minimized “real rape victims.”Tacopina told jurors they won't have to “let her profit to the tune of millions of dollars” because they will be left with “no doubt about how this story, this scam of a lawsuit, came together.”

“He didn't even bother to show up here in person,” Kaplan said, referring to Trump's absence from the proceedings in federal court in Manhattan. She told jurors that much of what he said in his deposition and in public statements “actually supports our side of the case.” Carroll, 79, who is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, testified for more than two days. Kaplan praised her testimony as “credible.”She contrasted that testimony with Trump's deposition, noting that a man who had derided Carroll as not his “type” was shown a photograph of Carroll from over three decades ago and twice misidentified her as his second wife, Marla Maples.

Carroll, a former “Saturday Night Live” writer, said they took escalators to the store's desolate sixth floor, where they teased each other about trying on a piece of see-through lingerie.
