Donald Trump may have severely damaged his case in the defamation lawsuit brought against him by a woman who accused him of rape by expressing "repeated lies" during his deposition, according to an attorney.
Carroll accused the former president of raping her at a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in New York in the mid-1990s.
Carroll is suing Trump for defaming her character while denying the allegations, including stating in a 2019 interview that she was "not my type."
Trump later repeated the same remarks in a statement posted on Truth Social in October 2022, just before his deposition took place.
Trump also accused a number of investigations and inquiries against him of being "hoaxes," including Robert Mueller's Russia probe and the former president's first impeachment trial.
Trump also repeated his false voter fraud claims, describing mail-in-ballots as a hoax despite admitting that's how he votes in elections.
"He's caught in repeated lies throughout the course of this sworn videotaped deposition.". »
