Jury rules that Trump sexually abused the New York writer, but did not convict him of rape
Carroll described running into Trump as she was leaving the Bergdorf Goodman luxury department store. She said he asked for help in buying a gift for a woman and eventually led the way to the lingerie department.Carroll said Trump “snatched up” a grey-blue bodysuit in the lingerie department and demanded she try it on. “I had no intention of putting it on. I said, ‘You put it on, it’s your colour,’” she told the court.
Carroll said Trump suggested they both try it on, and motioned toward the dressing room. She said she did not take it seriously.“He immediately shut the door and shoved me up against the wall. He shoved me so hard my head banged. I was extremely confused,” she said. Carroll told the jury the situation “turned absolutely dark”. She said Trump pulled down her tights and sexually attacked her.he may have crossed the line into jury-tampering after the former president posted an attack on his social media site, Truth Social, calling Carroll’s accusations a “made-up SCAM” and a “witch-hunt”. Kaplan called Trump’s post “entirely inappropriate” and warned they could become “a potential source of liability” for him.
Carroll said that after she went public with her accusation against Trump in 2019, and the then president accused her of lying about it, she met Conway at a party. She said he encouraged her to “seriously think” about suing the president for defamation. She filed the lawsuit a few days later. Tacopina sought to paint the encounter as evidence of Carroll’s political motivation for the action against Trump.
