Report — Trump to Accuser E. Jean Carroll’s Lawyer: ‘You Wouldn’t Be My First Choice Either’Hannah Bleau 4 May 2023
Former President Donald Trump explained to accuser E. Jean Carroll’s lawyer that she would not be his “first choice” either after she asked him to elaborate on his previous comment on the columnist amid the civil trial in which Carroll has accused Trump of rape.
The civil trial launched by Elle Magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll is underway, as the writer has accused Trump of groping and raping her in a Bergdorf-Goodman dressing room in the mid-1990s— an accusation Trump has vehemently denied.
As Breitbart News reported, “Carroll is seeking monetary damages as well as a retraction of remarks Trump previously made,” first coming forward with the allegations while promoting her 2019 book, in which she highlighted the “hideous men” from her life. It is titled, What Do We Need Men For? However, she filed this civil suit after the Adult Survivors Act went into effect last year, removing the statute of limitations and thereby allowing her to move forward with this case.
However, in 2019, Trump addressed her accusations, accusing her of “totally lying.”
“I’ll say it with great respect: Number one, she’s not my type. Number two, it never happened. It never happened, OK?” he said.
Carroll later responded during a hit on CNN, stating, “I am so glad I am not his type.”
This case also included Trump accuser Jessica Leeds, 81, as a witness, who claims Trump assaulted her on a plane in 1979. Trump has dismissed her accusations as well, telling a crowd in 2016, “Believe me, she would not be my first choice. That I can tell you. You don’t know. That would not be my first choice.”
One of Carroll’s attorneys is Democrat Party activist Roberta Kaplan, who was involved with the feminist Time’s Up movement. Ironically, she left the group after her involvement in attempting to discredit former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s accusers was uncovered.
At one point in his deposition, Trump was asked what he meant by his 2016 comment regarding his “first choice.”
According to a report from Inner City Press’s Matthew Russell Lee, Trump told attorney Kaplan that she would not be his first choice either, adding, “I hope you’re not insulted.”
