Trump cannot exclude ‘Access Hollywood’ tape from rape accuser’s trial

A U.S. judge rejected Donald Trump’s effort to exclude an “Access Hollywood” tape of him making vulgar comments about women from a defamation lawsuit by the writer E. Jean Carroll, who says the former president raped her in the mid-1990s. | Reuters

Trump has denied raping Carroll. His lawyers did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Carroll’s lawyers, through a spokesman, declined to comment.

The 23-page decision came in the first of Carroll’s two defamation lawsuits over her alleged encounter with Trump in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in Manhattan. Carroll sued Trump in 2019 after he told a reporter at the White House that he did not know Carroll, that she was not his type, and that she made up the rape claim to sell her memoir. She sued again in 2022 after Trump repeated his denials online.In the “Access Hollywood” excerpt, Trump graphically described his unsuccessful attempt to have a sexual encounter with a married woman, and described himself as being attracted to beautiful women.

“I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star they let you do it,” Trump said. “Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.” The tape was released in October 2016 and threatened to upend Trump’s White House run. He defeated Hillary Clinton the following month to become president.
