A lawyer for E Jean Carroll, the writer accusing Donald Trump of raping and later defaming her, told jurors that the former US president’s own words about his treatment of women lent credibility to Carroll’s case.
During closing arguments in a civil trial in Manhattan federal court the lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, reminded jurors of a 2005 Access Hollywood tape they saw during trial in which Mr Trump bragged on a hot microphone about grabbing women “by the pussy” and that “when you’re a star, they let you do it.”
