Trump Rape Lawsuit Trial: Lawyer's Tactics Criticized.
TL;DR
Donald Trump's lawyer questioned E. Jean Carroll's decades-old rape claim against the former president, suggesting that her claims strained credulity. Carroll, who is suing Trump over the alleged assault, rebuffed the suggestion that rape victims are supposed to act a certain way, saying such thinking deters women from coming forward. Trump says the encounter never happened, that he doesn’t know Carroll and that she’s not his “type” — comments that are at the heart of the defamation claims in Carroll’s lawsuit. The complaint seeks unspecified damages and a retraction of the comments.
