Jean Carroll came to an abrupt end. The former US president reiterated his earlier statement that Carroll&#8217;s accusation of rape was a fabrication. In federal court in Manhattan, Trump confidently affirmed the accuracy of his comments made during a deposition in October 2022. Prior to this, Carroll&#8217;s legal team presented video excerpts from the deposition, showcasing Trump&#8217;s derogatory remarks towards the former Elle magazine advice columnist, labeling her as &#8220;mentally sick&#8221; and a &#8220;whack job,&#8221; and even threatening to sue her.<\/p>\n<p>In the deposition, Trump vehemently denied the allegations, asserting that they were completely baseless and would never occur in reality.<\/p>\n<p>Carroll, who is 80 years old, is pursuing a minimum of $10 million in damages from Trump for his denials in June 2019, during his presidency, regarding her claim that he raped her in the mid-1990s within a dressing room at the Bergdorf Goodman department store in Manhattan. In response, Trump, who is 77 years old, accused Carroll of fabricating the rape allegation as a means to enhance the sales of her memoir. In a separate case last May, a jury ruled in favor of Carroll and ordered Trump to pay her $5 million for a similar denial made in October 2022. However, Trump is currently appealing this decision.<\/p>\n<p>In the courtroom, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan made it clear that there would be no second chances for dissatisfied litigants, limiting former President Trump&#8217;s time on the witness stand to a mere four minutes. Judge Kaplan, who presided over both trials, firmly stated that the initial jury&#8217;s verdict, which found Trump guilty of defamation and sexual abuse against Carroll, would remain binding in the ongoing trial. Interestingly, Carroll&#8217;s case has now become intertwined with Trump&#8217;s efforts to regain the presidency in the upcoming November election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#today&#8217;slatestnews, #latestnews, #today&#8217;supdates, #currentnews,<br \/>\n#donaldtrump, #rapecase, #falseaccusation, #manhattan, #today&#8217;senglishnews<br \/>\n#ozinews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18689,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9852,14176,13977,25,9919,3],"tags":[32125,23896,32123,32124,19776,4089,19890,32126,32127,32128,5481],"class_list":["post-53931","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking","category-cover-story","category-crime","category-english-news","category-politics","category-world","tag-currentnews","tag-latestnews","tag-todayslatestnews","tag-todaysupdates","tag-donald-trump","tag-english-news","tag-english-news-today","tag-false-accusation","tag-latest-english-news","tag-manhattan","tag-rape-case"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ozinews.in\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53931","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ozinews.in\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ozinews.in\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ozinews.in\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ozinews.in\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53931"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ozinews.in\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53931\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":53932,"href":"https:\/\/ozinews.in\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53931\/revisions\/53932"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ozinews.in\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18689"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ozinews.in\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53931"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ozinews.in\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53931"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ozinews.in\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53931"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
