NEW YORK — Donald Trump doesn’t want the jury at his upcoming civil rape trial to see or hear the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape — in which he quipped about molesting women — nor anything about his multiple sex crimes accusers.
In court papers filed late Thursday, Trump’s lawyers Alina Habba and Michael Madaio asked Manhattan Federal Court Judge Lewis Kaplan to bar E. Jean Carroll’s counsel from introducing the tape into evidence when the trial starts on April 25.
“And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything,” Trump is heard telling former “Today” host Billy Bush in the 2005 clip. “Grab ’em by the p---y. You can do anything.”
