NEW YORK — Lawyers for writer E. Jean Carroll can call two women who have accused Donald Trump of sexual misconduct as witnesses at his upcoming civil rape trial and play the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape for the jury, a New York City judge decided Friday.
In a 23-page ruling, Manhattan Federal Court Judge Lewis Kaplan gave the green light to all of Carroll’s requests ahead of the spring trial.
Carroll, who is suing Trump for defamation and sexual battery, has accused him of raping her in Bergdorf Goodman on Fifth Avenue in the mid-1990s. Trump denies the allegation.
