A federal judge on Friday ordered unsealed excerpts of October testimony in the E. Jean Carroll lawsuit be made public.
Judge Lewis Caplan ordered additional excerpts be made public after Trump’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit earlier in the day.
Donald Trump continued to call Carroll a liar and claimed she was mentally ill, and falsely claimed Carroll said she enjoyed being raped.
Trump cited the interview in telling Kaplan that Carroll “loved” sexual assault.
“She actually indicated that she loved it. Okay?” Trump said in the deposition. “In fact, I think she said it was sexy, didn’t she? She said it was very sexy to be raped.”
Kaplan then asked: “So, sir, I just want to confirm: It’s your testimony that E. Jean Carroll said that she loved being sexually assaulted by you?”
And Trump answered: “Well, based on her interview with Anderson Cooper, I believe that’s what took place.”
