Former US president Donald Trump is facing intense pressure amid an allegation of rape, a criminal probe and his tax returns having to be made public. The controversies have emerged at an inopportune time for Mr Trump, who plans on running for president in 2024 after losing the White House two years ago to current President Joe Biden.
US advice columnist E Jean Carroll has accused the former president of raping her in the 1990s at a New York department store, saying that the "music had stopped" in her love life after the alleged incident. Excerpts of the October deposition were filed late on Monday in the court where Ms Carroll is suing the former president over the alleged attack, which he denies having labelled it "a complete con job".
During the deposition Ms Carroll upsettingly said she has not developed any new romantic relationships following the encounter with Mr Trump at Bergdorf Goodman in Manhattan, having not had sex since 1994 or 1995.
