WATCH: Trump’s Deposition In Rape Case Released: ‘She’s Not My Type’
Friday afternoon, CNN released never-before-seen footage of former President Donald Trump during his deposition in the ongoing case brought against him by E. Jean Carroll, who alleges he raped her in a Bergdorf’s department store decades ago.
Responding to questions surrounding the allegations, Trump argued that he never would have made an advance on Carroll, saying, “She’s not my type,” while denouncing rape as a heinous crime.
“[S]he’s not my type. Yeah, because it’s not politically correct to say it, and I know that, but I’ll say it anyway. She’s accusing me of rape. A woman that I have no idea who she is. It came out of the blue,” Trump says in one of the clips.
“She’s accusing me of rape, of raping her. The worst thing you can do, the worst charge, and you know it’s not true too,” he continued.
Trump then laid into Carroll’s lawyer:
“You’re a political operative also. You’re a disgrace. But she’s accusing me, and so are you, of rape. And it never took place. And I will tell you, I made that statement and I said, well, it’s politically incorrect. She’s not my type. And that’s 100% true. She’s not my type.”

Trump expanded, hilariously explaining to the lawyer questioning him that she is not his “type” either.

In another segment of the deposition, Trump denied the allegations again, explaining how Carroll’s timeline of events is a “ridiculous” and “made up” story.
He noted that, if a woman was raped in a dressing room on a major floor of a busy department store, the event would have been reported by any of the dozens of people in close proximity.
