Donald Trump’s lawyers suggested his rape accuser lifted her claims from an episode of TV show Law & Order, as the defense cross-examined E. Jean Carroll today.
Joe Tacopina asked Carroll if she thought it was an ‘astonishing coincidence’ that her allegations were the identical to a 2012 episode of Law & Order: SVU.
A jury heard that the episode was about a character who fantasizes about being raped in the lingerie dressing room of the New York department store Bergdorf Goodman, as Carroll alleged Trump did in the mid 1990s
Carroll agreed it was similar but denied watching SVU as she thought it was too violent.
Carroll sued Trump for battery and defamation last Novemver over the alleged rape and his Tweets afterwards calling her a liar.
