Trump Wants Infamous Access Hollywood Tape Banned From E Jean Carroll Civil Rape Trial

donald trumpattorney wants to bar jurors from hearing about the infamous “pee-grab” tape in his upcoming civil rape trial.

Trump’s attorneys, Alina Hubba and Michael Madaio, filed documents in Manhattan federal court late Thursday.

They are trying to block references to the 2005 taped encounter and the tape itself from the April trial.

In the tape, he sometimes sees beautiful women and says, “I start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t wait either.”

“When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.”

The trial stems from the claims of longtime advice columnist E. Gene Carroll. She alleges Trump sexually assaulted her in a dressing room at the Bergdorf Goodman department store in Manhattan in the mid-1990s.

Lawyers called tapes “irrelevant and highly prejudicial” and could be misused to suggest to jurors that Trump must have been prone to sexual assault and therefore raped Carol. said that there is

Trump’s lawyers are trying to stop the infamous Access Hollywood tape from going to April 25’s rape trial.He said he had never met Carole in a high-end Manhattan department store in the mid-1990s.

They also sought to block the testimony of two women who accused Trump of sexual misconduct and to ban any mention of him in his campaign speeches.

Carroll, 79, said the state of New York sued Trump in November.

A trial is scheduled for April 25, with both Trump and Carroll expected to testify.

In her 2019 memoir, Carol, a former Elle columnist, asks, “What do we need men for?” In late 1995 or early 1996, her playing cards raped her in the changing rooms of Bergdorf Goodman, an upscale Manhattan department store.

Trump has denied it in public statements, sometimes angrily.

In a deposition for a trial scheduled for October, Trump denied Carroll’s allegations, saying, “Physically she’s not my type.”

Trump has denied knowing Carroll, despite a 1987 photo of her with then-husband and first wife Ivana Trump, who died last year.

It was that photo that he was shown in October 2022 when he mistook Carol for his second wife, Marla Maples.

In his testimony, Trump said of Carole, “She’s not the kind of woman I find attractive. I have no reason to be attracted to her.”

Carroll’s attorney, Roberta Kaplan, confronted him with the allegation that 20 other women had opposed Carroll and asked if it was true.

I would say… I mean, you can’t see anything. I mean, you haven’t shown me anything,” Trump replied.

His answer may add relevance to the lewd comments he made on the “Access Hollywood” tape that was revealed just weeks before he won the November 2016 presidential election.

He then offered a rare apology, saying the comment was a “locker room joke” caught on the hot mic.

In excerpts from a deposition published in public records late Thursday, Trump said it’s been mostly true “over the past million years” that celebrities can grab women they find attractive. .

“Unfortunately or fortunately,” he added.

“And do you consider yourself a star?” Kaplan asked.

“I think you can say that,” Trump replied.

In her lawsuit, Carroll escalated into a playful joke when she had a chance encounter with Trump and was asked to help pick out lingerie for a friend.

She said they teased each other for trying on lingerie and went to the locker room, where Trump turned violent and raped her.

Her attorney declined to comment on Friday.
