Donald Trump defended crude comments he made in 2005 about famous men being allowed to grope women at will, according to excerpts of his deposition in writer E. Jean Carroll’s defamation lawsuit.
Carroll claims Trump raped her in a Manhattan department store in the 1990s and then defamed her in denying it. Her lawyers questioned him last year about the “hot mic” tape in which he makes unguarded remarks to Access Hollywood TV host Billy Bush, according to a filing late Thursday in her case.
