‘I can still feel’ the pain: E. Jean Carroll describes alleged rape by Trump
E. Jean Carroll testified she can “still feel” the pain, choking up in Manhattan federal court on Wednesday as she recounted Donald Trump allegedly raping her in a Bergdorf Goodman fitting room nearly three decades ago.
Earlier, Carroll’s voice broke as she told jurors she always wondered “why I walked in” to the department store changing room — where she alleged Trump “shoved” and pinned her against a wall, pulled her tights down and forced his fingers inside her before raping her.“I always think back to why I walked in there,” Carroll said, as her voice broke, “to get myself in that situation.
Trump then allegedly raped Carroll before she was finally able to break free after she managed to lift her knee and shove him off, she recounted.She told the jury it was “very stupid” of her to walk into a changing room, noting the door was open.Carroll said she felt shame and blame for the attack for walking into the room, and because she had been flirting with Trump leading up to the moment of the alleged attack.“But it left me unable to ever have a romantic life again.
She explained that she’s suffered visions of the alleged rape throughout the years which she has learned to move “aside.” In October 2019, Trump claimed Carroll’s claims were a “hoax,” claimed to not know her, and said she wasn’t his “type.”for the alleged rape and for allegedly defaming her by denying the claims.
She also seemed to try to dispel Trump’s claims that she had made up the rape allegation to boost her book sales — testifying that her memoir actually didn’t sell well and she never received more than the $70,000 book advance.
