Attorney Joe Tacopina began his questioning in Manhattan federal court by citing Carroll's own words as he asked her to acknowledge that she has described her account as odd.
In this courtroom sketch, in Federal Court, in New York, Thursday, April 27, 2023, E. Jean Carroll, center, testifies on the witness stand as a photo of her and Donald Trump, along with his wife Ivana and Carroll's former husband, is shown on a screen. The photo was taken prior to the alleged assault. The jury is in the foreground. – Donald Trump's lawyer sought Thursday to pick apart a decades-old rape claim against the former president, questioning why accuser E.
Trump lawyer Joseph Tacopina suggested her claims strained credulity, contending that she only came forward in 2019 — midway through Trump's presidency — because of her disdain for his politics and because she wanted to sell copies of her book. Consistent and unruffled in her second day of testimony, Carroll grew frustrated as Tacopina zeroed in on how she says she behaved during the alleged assault. She says it happened after a chance run-in with Trump at luxury retailer Bergdorf Goodman in spring 1996.
The lawyer underscored, through his questions, that she didn't seek help from anyone in the store as she allegedly fled by riding six flights down an escalator, didn't ask about security video and didn't seek medical attention or call police. The Associated Press typically does not name people who say they have been sexually assaulted unless they come forward publicly, as Carroll has done.
