How Trump’s Words Are Already Coming Back to Haunt Him at Rape Trial
If E. Jean Carroll’s lawyers have their way, Donald Trump’s infamous words about abusing his celebrity status to violate women will finally come back to haunt him.
Carroll’s lawyers implored a New York jury Tuesday to judge the former president by his own boasts and conclude that he did, in fact, rape Carroll some 27 years ago at a luxury department store.
“‘Grab them by the pussy.’ It’s not locker room talk. It’s exactly what he did to Ms. Carroll and other women,” Shawn G. Crowley, one of Carroll’s lawyers, said in her opening statement.
