Writer E. Jean Carroll took the stand in court Wednesday in the trial over her defamation and battery lawsuit against former President Donald Trump.
"I'm here because Donald Trump raped me, and when I wrote about it, he said it didn't happen," Carroll, 79, said, adding that the alleged defamatory remarks"shattered my reputation."A jury of six men and three women will decide if Trump, 76, should be held financially liable for sexually assaulting Carroll in the mid-1990s and defaming her last year by saying on social media that she fabricated the allegation to sell a book.
Trump said, “Hey, you are that advice lady,” referencing her work as a columnist at the time, according to Carroll. Trump allegedly suggested they go to a dressing room, and soon after, they entered one and he closed the door, according to Carroll. She described contacting two friends soon after. One told her to go to the police, while another told her not to. She said that out of shame and fear of retaliation, she opted to stay silent.
