HEARD HIM IN A VIDEO TAPED
DEPOSITION PLAYED TODAY.
RON ALLEN HAS THE LATEST
>> Reporter: TONIGHT, EXPLOSIV
NEW TESTIMONY AGAINST FORMER
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
ON WEDNESDAY, FORMER PEOPL
MAGAZINE WRITER TOOK THE STAND
TO EMOTIONALLY ALLEGED THA
DONALD TRUMP SEXUALLY ASSAULTE
HER IN 2005 WHILE INTERVIEWING
HIM FOR A STORY AT TRUMP'S
MAR-A-LAGO HOME.
RECALLING THE HORRIFYING MOMEN
WHEN SHE SAID TRUMP INVITED HE
TO SEE A ROOM ALONE.
SAYING, "THE DOOR SHUTS BEHIND
ME
HE PULLS ME AGAINST THE WALL
AND STARTS KISSING ME.
SHE SHARED HER STORY WITH PEOPLE
MAGAZINE IN 2016
AFTER TRUMP IMPLIED HE DID NOT
FIND HER ATTRACTIVE.
THE ONLY ON CAMERA INTERVIEW
>> I THINK WHAT HE'S SAYIN
THERE, ONLY PRETTY WOMEN GET
ASSAULTED.
>> Reporter: DURING TH
TESTIMONY, CARROLL'S ATTORNEYE
IS HER ABOUT THE NOW INFAMOU
ACCESS HOLLYWOOD VIDEO, WHIC
RECORDED TRUMP SAYING HE COULD
GROPE WOMEN WITHOUT THEI
CONSENT.
>> YOU CAN DO ANYTHING
FOR THE FIRST TIME I THOUGHT H
DID THIS TO A LOT OF WOMEN
LATE TODAY THEY HEARD FROM HIM
AND PLAYING AN EXCHANGE WHER
TRUMP SAID SHE IS NOT MY TYP
AND IT NEVER HAPPENED.
ADDING HE HAS NEVER MET CARROL
AND REPEATEDLY DENIES HE HAS
EVER ASSAULTED HER
SAYING IT IS A VERY BUSY STORE
BY THE WAY
CHECKOUT COUNTERS, EVERYTHIN
ELSE
IT'S THE MOST RIDICULOUS
DISGUSTING STORY MADE UP
>> WHAT ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY
WILL NOT CALL ANY DEFENS
WITNESSES?
DOES THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
>> AND THAT THEY WOULD HAV
CALLED HIM
BUT WITHOUT ANY DEFENS
WITNESSES, THEIR WHOLE CASE AT
THIS POINT IS GOING TO BE ABOU
THE HOLES THAT THEY HAVE POKED
IN E. JEAN CARROLL'S CASE.
>> Reporter: CARROLL HAS A FEW
MORE WITNESSES INCLUDING ANOTHER
CLOSE FRIEND WHO SHE SAYS SH
TOLD ABOUT THE ALLEGED ATTAC
NOT LONG AFTER IT HAPPENED
THE JUDGE SCHEDULED CLOSIN
ARGUMENTS FOR MONDAY WITH TH
JURY GIVING THE CASE O
TUESDAY.
AND DECIDING THEN WHO IS TELLING
THE TRUTH.
TOM?
>> ALL RIGHT, RON, THANK YOU FOR
THAT
THE JUDGE IN THE CASE SAYING THE
JURY SHOULD RECEIVE THE CASE FOR
DELIBERATION EARLY NEXT WEEK
FOR MORE ON THE LATEST OF THIS
HIGH-PROFILE LEGAL BATTLE, I
WANT TO BRING IN AN ATTORNEY AND
FRIEND OF TOP STORY, ALSO KNOW
AS THE LAWYER.
ON TIKTOK WITH MORE THAN $
MILLION FOLLOWERS.
THANKS FOR JOINING US TONIGHT.
I WANT TO START WHERE RON LEFT
OFF THERE. ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT TRUMP'S
ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT TRUMP'S
TEAM WILL NOT PRESENT A DEFENS
IN THIS RAPE TRIAL
>> I'M NOT SURPRISED THAT TRUM
HIMSELF IS NOT TESTIFYING.
AND NO DEFENSE WHATSOEVER.
AND AT THI
POINT, IT IS REALLY JUST A SHE
SAID CASE AND ALMOST N
REBUTTAL
THERE WAS A DEPOSITION THAT WA
PLAYED AND THE DENIAL AND THAT
THEY WILL SEE THERE IS NO CHANCE
TO CROSS EXAMINE THEM.
AND NO CHANCE TO REALLY GET TO
THE HEART OF WHAT SHE HAS BEEN
ACCUSING HIM OF.
>> Reporter: BUT WHEN YOU DON'
PROVIDE A DEFENSE, THINKING THAT
YOUR CASE IS SO STRONG THA
YOU'VE ALREADY PROVEN IT WIT
YOUR CROSS-EXAMINATIONS ON THE
OTHER SIDE OF THE WITNESSES?
>> AND SO IN THAT CASE LIKE THIS
WHERE IT IS ABOUT THE ALLEGE
ASSAULTS, IT REALLY COMES DOWN
TO HER CREDIBILITY ALMOS
EXCLUSIVELY.
BASED OFF OF THE FEDERAL RULES
OF EVIDENCE WHERE HERE IT IS
ALLOWED THAT THE OTHER
INDIVIDUALS ARE ABLE TO TESTIF
AND GIVE THEIR PERSONAL EXAMPLES
OF ALLEGATIONS AS WELL
ALL OF THIS IS DUE TO HE
CREDIBILITY AND JUST HER
CREDIBILITY.
SO FROM HIS SIDE, THEY ARE JUS
SAYING LOOK, THE ALLEGATION IS
SO OUTLANDISH THAT WE ARE JUST
GOING TO ATTACK HER CREDIBILIT AND HER CREDIBILITY ONLY
AND HER CREDIBILITY ONLY
HARRY SMITH: How do you
>> SO LET ME TALK TO YOU ABOUT
HOW TOUGH THIS CASE IS FOR E
JEAN CARROLL
AND WHAT HAPPENED DECADES AGO.
AND ABOUT THE PERSONA AND TH
FACT THAT SHE HAD SHOPPED AT
THAT DEPARTMENT STORE FO
SEVERAL YEARS AFTERWARDS
DID THAT DAMAGE YOUR CREDIBILITY
AT ALL
>> AND SO I THINK
CROSS-EXAMINATION LIKE THIS IS
VERY TOUGH
AND REALLY GETTING TO SEEING I
IS IT WAS TRUE OR NOT AND IF I
WOULD NOT DO COULD HURT HI CASE
CASE
JURIES DON'T LIKE TO SEE THE
CROSS-EXAMINATION.
THE FACT THAT THIS IS SOMEWHAT
STANDARD BEHAVIOR.
WHEN YOU HAVE AN ASSAULT LIK
THIS, YOU WON'T BEHAVE LIKE TH
TRADITIONAL VICTIMS IN THE EYE
OF WHAT TRUMP IS SAYING.
AND HOW THEY ARE SUPPOSE T
ACT.
>> AND WITH THAT ARGUMENT, D
YOU THINK IT'S A MISTAKE THA
TRUMP'S LEGAL TEAM DIDN'
PROVIDE A DEFENSE?
>> IT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR THE
TO GO UP THERE TO DEFEND HIS
SIDE
IF THEY COULDN'T ATTACK IT O
THEY WERE SAYING HE WASN'T THERE
THAT DAY OR OTHER ARGUMENTS.
THE FACT THAT NO WITNESSES ARE
SAYING ANYTHING OUT THERE LEAVES
A GAPING HOLE.
IN THE BEGINNING OF THE TRIAL, I
WOULD HAVE SAID LOOK, TH
BATTERY CASE FROM 30 YEARS AGO
THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THEY ARE
GOING TO SEE THIS AS A LOW
BUT AT THIS POINT, I THINK THA
IT WILL BE PRETTY HIGH
>> AND WHAT DO YOU THINK WIL
HAPPEN HERE?
>> TO BE CLEAR, THIS IS NO
CRIMINAL AT ALL.
AND IT IS ONLY SEVEN, WHIC
MEANS THE ONLY PUNISHMENT HERE
FOR DONALD TRUMP WILL BE
DAMAGES.
SO FOR DISTRESS AND BATTERY AN
DEFAMATION
>> AND HE'S LAUNCHING ANOTHE
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
