Former President Donald Trump mistook a photo of rape accuser E. Jean Carroll for his ex-wife Marla Maples during a deposition in Carroll's defamation lawsuit last year, according to an unsealed deposition transcript.
Carroll, a longtime magazine columnist, in 2019 accused Trump of raping her in the dressing room of a New York department store in the mid-90s. Trump responded by claiming that he didn't "know anything about her" and claimed that she was "not my type," prompting Carroll to file a defamation lawsuit.
