Donald Trump, who is the front-runner for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, was accused in a civil lawsuit of sexually assaulting writer E. Jean Carroll.
Carroll, 79, sued Trump for allegedly raping her in a dressing room in the Bergdorf Goodman department store in the mid-1990s, and for defaming her in comments last fall when he denied her claims.
Trump, 76, denies ever seeing Carroll at the store. He said both that she had made up those allegations and she was "not my type."

"She wasn't raped, OK?" Trump said. "And I didn't do anything else either, OK, because I don't know who the hell she is."
