Trump lawyer questions E. Jean Carroll at rape lawsuit trial

Donald Trump’s lawyer sought to pick apart a decades-old rape claim against the former president, questioning why accuser E. Jean Carroll did not scream or seek help when Trump allegedly attacked her in a department store. But Carroll on Thursday rebuffed Joseph Tacopina’s suggestion that rape victims are supposed to act a certain way, saying such thinking deters women from coming forward. Carroll is a writer and former magazine advice columnist. She is suing Trump over her claim that he raped her in a dressing room at a Manhattan store in the 1990s. Trump says the encounter never happened.
