Donald Trump says he never read book accusing him of rape: ‘I’ve never seen the book actually’

Former President Donald Trump said he has never read any part of a book in which the columnist E Jean Carroll accused him of raping her in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s, according to court records unsealed Wednesday.

Trump was questioned under oath in October by lawyers for Carroll, who is suing the Republican. During his five-and-a-half-hour deposition, Trump said he hasn't read Carroll's book, “What Do We Need Men For?" and didn't see excerpts of it in a New York magazine article when the book was released in 2019.
