Tears rolling down, Carroll describes the moment with Trump

“I am here because Donald Trump raped me, and when I wrote about it he said it didn't happen,” E. Jean Carroll, 79, a New York author testified in graphic detail about the alleged assault on the second day of the trial over her lawsuit against former president Donald Trump.

She claims Trump raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s.

The former Elle magazine advice columnist told the court that she kept silent about the alleged attack for decades out of fear that Trump would destroy her if she went public.

Fighting back tears
Carroll testified that she and Trump ran into each other at the luxury department store while shopping. She agreed to help him pick out a gift for a woman.

She fought back tears as she described the guilt she felt over going into the dressing room with Trump.

Trump then “shut the door and shoved me against the wall.”

She said, “he put his hand inside of me and curved his finger. As I'm sitting here today I can still feel it."

The jury of six men and three women will decide if Trump, 76, is liable for sexually assaulting Carroll and defaming her last year accusing her of fabricating the attack to sell a book.
