Woman recounts alleged Trump sex assault during civil rape trial

Al Jazeera  

A woman has testified that former United States President Donald Trump molested her with what seemed like “40 zillion hands” on an airline flight in the late 1970s, years before writer E Jean Carroll said he sexually assaulted her at a Manhattan department store. Meanwhile, Trump’s lawyer said the former president has decided against testifying, answering the biggest outstanding question about the closely-watched civil case, brought by Carroll for alleged rape and defamation. After a few seconds, Leeds said, she wriggled free of Trump, told him “I don’t need this”, and stormed to the back of the plane. Trump used similar language in denying Leeds’s allegations, telling supporters at a 2016 rally, “Believe me, she would not be my first choice.” Leeds first went public with her account of the alleged plane assault in the final weeks of Trump’s 2016 campaign, telling jurors that she decided to do so because she was “furious” about his claim at a debate that he had never touched women against their will.
