Close to thirty women have publicly accused Donald Trump of sexual misconduct. The allegations span decades and include anything from harassment to assault. Now, one of the women who have spoken out about their experiences is hoping he’ll face the consequences. Closing arguments were heard today.
In the civil case of columnist E.Jean Carroll against the former president. She accuses him of raping her in a department store and of harming her reputation by calling her a liar when she came forward. Over the two-week trial, the plaintiff presented evidence aimed at exposing a pattern of predatorial behavior, replicating an image Trump himself has proudly cultivated over the years. And that might well get him into hot water now.
At the trial Carrol's lawyer contrasted her client's testimony with Trump's deposition. She noted that Trump, who had derided Carroll as not his "type", was shown a photograph of Carroll from over three decades ago, and repeatedly misidentified her as his second wife, Marla Maples.
