A friend of former columnist E. Jean Carroll took the stand in the defamation trial against former President Donald Trump Tuesday, testifying that Carroll was"hyperventilating" when the writer said she had been raped by him.
“Her voice was doing all kinds of things,” Birnbach said of Carroll, who is now 79. “She might have been laughing. It sounded like she had a surge of adrenaline.” Tacopina later engaged in cross-examination with Birnbach, asking about her political affiliations, to which she agreed when asked if she had ever called Trump"demented" or a"Russian agent."
“I’m here because I’m her friend, and I want the world to know she is telling the truth," Birnbach said. Leeds said her alleged encounter with Trump occurred after a flight attendant invited her to sit in first class. Carroll's legal team called Leeds to show jurors that Trump has a history of sexual misconduct allegations. Her team also plans to play a snippet from the infamous Access Hollywood tape where Trump said in a recorded tape that he could grab other women by the vagina when he wanted to.
