As the sexual assault and disparagement trial against the former president continues, a pal of Jean Carroll attested that week that the previous publication columnist dialed her minutes after allegedly being raped by the ex-president in a department store in NYC in 1996.
After having left the store, Carroll called Lisa Birnbach and detailed the situation in full. Lisa Birnbach recalled this happening. Carroll sounded breathless, emotional, and hyperventilating. When she made the call, her tone was deranged and scattered. Jean Carroll reportedly kept repeating over the phone, narrating the incident saying that her tights had been pulled down by him repeatedly, according to Lisa. It seemed as if she was unable to accept it herself. She had not been able to process her terrifying experience yet.
Jean Carroll Sets Out On A Legal Battle With Trump Claiming Rape
Trump’s attorney informed the judge after the court had been adjourned that the ex-president would not be showing up to attest in his defense. On Tuesday, Birnbach testified that she remembered being in the kitchen feeding her toddlers when Jean Carroll dialed and left the room, whispering to Jean Carroll that she ought to visit the cops since he had raped her. Carroll had described her conversation with the former president as a sort of battle. She appeared to be fighting him physically, and Birnbach stated that Carroll asked her not to utter the word “rape”. Carroll did not want to involve the cops and convinced her friend to keep it a secret.
The two didn’t talk about the incident again till 2019 after their brief phone conversation. Carroll has filed a lawsuit against Trump, claiming that he sexually assaulted her in a shop in the middle of the 1990s. Trump has denied all of the claims and implied that the whole story had been made up by her for publicity.
