'She Was Exactly His Type,' E. Jean Carroll's Attorney Asserts in Closing Statement
“He said the photo was blurry. But that’s the photo, ladies and gentlemen,” Kaplan said. The photograph, shown in court, depicts Carroll and her then-husband alongside Trump and his first wife, Ivana, in the 1980s. “The truth is that E. Jean Carroll, a former cheerleader and Ms. Indiana, was exactly Donald Trump’s type.”in which he boasted about sexually assaulting women to Billy Bush: “I just start kissing them...I don’t even wait” and that “when you’re a star” you can “grab them by the pussy.
Kaplan then played another part of the filmed deposition wherein she asks Trump whether he meant what he said to Bush. His response was as baffling as one would anticipate: “Well, that’s what—if you look over the last million years, I guess that’s been largely true. Not always, but largely true.

That will be for the jury to determine should the verdict be in her favor, though Kaplan said that for Carroll, the outcome isn’t about money but“In this country, even the most powerful person can be held accountable in court.
