Trump denies sexual assault claim of accuser by saying he wouldn't have 'chosen' her

Source: ABC News

Former President Donald Trump repeated claims about E. Jean Carroll for which he was found liable of defamation as he spoke to reporters on Friday after appearing in court for an appeal hearing.

The former president spoke for nearly an hour at Trump Tower in New York after briefly attending oral arguments where his lawyers pushed for a new civil trial after a jury's 2023 verdict that Trump pay $5 million for sexually assaulting Carroll in the mid-1990s in a department store dressing room and later defaming her in his denials of her claims after she went public in 2019. Trump's appearance in court on Friday was voluntary, not mandatory.

He talked about multiple accusations against him from three different women, often making derogatory comments about Carroll and two other accusers: Jessica Leeds and Natasha Stoynoff.

[....]

Speaking about his alleged encounter with Leeds -- who claimed Trump groped her on an airplane in the 1970s, an accusation Trump has long denied -- Trump at one point said it couldn't have happened because she "wouldn't have been the chosen one."

If two escalating judgement do not shut his lying trap...maybe a third will.

Or maybe the kids and the honey trap will say no more squandering our inheritance.

flames. Anyone half-way cool would have had celebrity artists, big-time models, way higher class than anything Trump managed to attract. It wouldn't even be close.

and that error demonstrates that he might be assaulting Person A while thinking it is Person B which renders his opinion of Person A irrelevant to the question of whether or not he assaulted them.

because of your character, your nature, how you have always respected and revered women.

It's another thing to say you do engage in sexual assault, but the particular target didn't appeal to you.

As an aside, during depositions, TSF was shown a photo of him in the company of E Jean Carroll. He mistook her for his second wife, Marla Maples. In his book, Trumped*, author John R. O'Donnell, wrote about how Trump was like a dog in heat around MM. So, if EJC's appearance was close to MM, one could make a case that she WAS TSF's "type".
