On Friday, a judge ordered video of 45th President Donald Trump's deposition footage to be released from a current legal case brought by E. Jean Carroll where the prosecution is accusing Trump of raping Carroll during an incident that took place in 1996.
A clip of the deposition has since gone viral showing Trump once again showing his true self. The prosecution's lawyer asked the leading Republican presidential candidate what he thought of Jessica Leads, a witness brought in by the prosecution who has alleged that Trump sexually assaulted her during a flight in the late 1970s.
Trump was asked by the prosecutor, "When you said in that video that Ms. Leeds would not be your first choice, you were referring to her physical looks, correct?"
"Just the overall. I look at her, I see her, I hear what she says," Trump said in response. "Whatever. You wouldn't be a choice of mine either, I hope you're not insulted. I would not under any circumstances have any interest in you. I'm being honest when I say it. She, I would not have any interest in."
The case currently against Trump is currently in civil court meaning that even if Trump is found liable for the incident, he would not receive any criminal penalties. However, he would receive financial penalties.
The incident in question allegedly occurred in a dressing room in the lingerie department on the sixth floor of Bergdorf Goodman on a Thursday evening in the spring of 1996, as reported by Politico. Carroll apparently came forward with the allegation only in 2019, however, the prosecution has brought forward two witnesses that said that Carroll told them about the alleged rape shortly after it occurred.
President Trump has repeatedly denied the allegation saying during his deposition, "It didn't happen. And by the way, if it did happen, it would have been reported within minutes. Talking about going to a major floor, probably I assumed the most important floor, a major floor in a major department store. That's a very busy store, by the way, checkout counters and everything else. And I would be in there– I mean, it's the most ridiculous. It's the most ridiculous disgusting story is just made up."
