Columnist accusing Trump of sex assault faces cross-examination in a New York courtroom

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — With former President Donald Trump no longer in the courtroom Thursday, a columnist who accused him of sexually attacking her concluded her testimony with an emphatic denial that she had benefited from the publicity that followed the allegations. An attorney for Trump, Alina Habba, countered that Carroll’s social media followers increased “exponentially” since the allegations, adding that she had gained professional opportunities and social standing among left-leaning celebrities. “I’ve been invited to two parties,” Carroll responded dryly, before adding: “Yes, I’m more well known and I’m hated by a lot more people.” Trump, who had attended the first two days of the trial, was in Florida Thursday for the funeral of his mother-in-law. Though he was absent from the courtroom Thursday, Trump’s presence still loomed over the proceedings, as lawyers for Carroll played a video of his press conference from the previous evening describing the trial as “rigged” and Carroll as “a person I never knew.” On Thursday, Habba also showed jurors a series of mean tweets sent to Carroll in the hours after her allegations became public in 2019 but before Trump released his first public statements — an apparent effort to prove the vitriol directed at Carroll was unrelated to the former president’s statements. The judge said the jury’s decision was based on “the narrow, technical meaning” of rape in New York penal law and that, in his analysis, the verdict did not mean that Carroll “failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape.’” Trump did not attend that trial and has said recently on the campaign trail that he was advised by his attorney to stay away.
