NEW YORK — Former President Donald Trump momentarily mistook a woman who has accused him of rape for his second wife during a legal deposition, a newly released transcript shows, raising possible questions about the viability of Trump's defense in a defamation lawsuit brought by the accuser.
Trump has denied knowing the accuser, former Elle magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll, who alleges that Trump attacked her in the dressing room of the Bergdorf Goodman luxury department store in the 1990s.
"I don't even know the woman. I don't know who -- it's Marla," Trump said upon seeing the 1990s photo of him and Carroll, according to the transcript."That's Marla, yeah. That's my wife," replied Trump. "She made up the story. It's a total lie. She knows it. She did it to sell a book, I guess, or something," Trump said during the October 2022 deposition.
