E Jean Carroll, the writer accusing Donald Trump of rape and defamation, has denied making up her claims to drive publicity for her memoir.
She defended herself under cross-examination in the Manhattan federal court.
Testifying in Manhattan federal court after the judge denied Trump's request for a mistrial, Carroll said she wasn't seeking attention through appearances on TV and podcasts, while acknowledging they were an important driver of book sales. "In this courtroom, I'm being forced to tell the truth," she told Tacopina on her third and final day of testimony, including two under cross-examination.
Trump has not attended the trial, now in its fourth day. On Monday, he was in Scotland to visit his golf courses there. Writer E Jean Carroll leaves the Manhattan Federal Court in New York during her defamation case against former US president Donald Trump in New York.Tacopina said Kaplan, an appointee of Democratic President Bill Clinton, should have let him question Carroll about why she did not seek security camera footage of the alleged rape.
Carroll had told jurors last Wednesday that Trump put his fingers into her vagina, which she called"extremely painful, extremely painful", and then inserted his penis.
