根据周五公布的一份文字记录，前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)否认了一名作家的强奸指控，并在10月份作为诽谤诉讼一部分的证词中称她为“疯子”——以及其他侮辱。
“那个女人，在我看来她有问题，好吧。但这是诬告。从来没有发生过，永远不会发生，”特朗普谈到前Elle专栏作家E. Jean Carroll的指控。
周五早些时候，纽约的一名联邦法官下令公开10月19日在前总统的Mar-a-Lago高尔夫俱乐部进行的证词的部分文字记录。这一裁决是在特朗普的律师反对的情况下做出的，他们试图保持文字记录的密封。
卡罗尔在2019年起诉特朗普诽谤，原因是他否认了她关于特朗普在上世纪90年代在纽约市一家百货公司的更衣室强奸她的指控。
去年11月，她提起了第二起诉讼，指控根据新通过的纽约法律殴打他人，该法律允许声称遭受性侵犯的成年受害者就超过时效的索赔提起诉讼。法官周五驳回了特朗普驳回诉讼的动议，该动议还对特朗普在社交媒体平台Truth Social上发布的帖子提出了额外的诽谤指控。
“我发了帖子，我会继续发，直到这件事结束后，我会起诉她，这是我真的很期待做的事情，”特朗普根据文字稿说。"我认为她是个疯子。"
特朗普否认认识卡罗尔，但他说“我认为她有病，精神有问题”，当他说卡罗尔不是他喜欢的类型时，特朗普说他没有侮辱的意思。
“我绝不会被她吸引。现在，有些人可能会被她吸引。我永远不会被她吸引，”特朗普说。
卡罗尔的律师罗伯塔·卡普兰(Roberta Kaplan)问特朗普，他是否曾经未经一名女子同意就亲吻她。
“嗯，我没有——我想不出有什么抱怨。但不。我的意思是，我不这么认为，”特朗普回应道。
卡普兰问特朗普，他是否曾迫使一名女性与他发生性关系。特朗普回应道:“答案是否定的。但你可能会有一些像你的客户一样愿意撒谎的人。”
Trump calls E. Jean Carroll 'whack job' in newly released deposition transcript
Former President Donald Trump denied a writer’s rape claim and called her a “whack job” -- among other insults -- during an October deposition taken as part of a defamation lawsuit, according to a transcript made public on Friday.
“The woman, there’s something wrong with her in my opinion, okay. But it’s a false accusation. Never happened, never would happen,” Trump said of an allegation made by former Elle columnist E. Jean Carroll.
A federal judge in New York earlier Friday ordered unsealed portions of the transcript of the deposition that took place on Oct. 19 at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago golf club. The ruling came over the objection of Trump’s attorneys who sought to keep the transcript sealed.
Carroll sued Trump for defamation in 2019 over the way he denied her claim that Trump had raped her in the dressing room of a New York City department store in the 1990s.
She filed a second lawsuit last November alleging battery under a newly adopted New York law that allows alleged adult victims of sex assault to sue over otherwise time-barred claims. The judge on Friday denied Trump’s motion to dismiss that lawsuit, which also made an additional accusation of defamation involving posts by Trump on his social media platform Truth Social.
“And I posted and I will continue to post until such time as -- and then I will sue her after this is over, and that's the thing I really look forward to doing,” Trump said according to the transcript. “I think she's a whack job.”
Trump denied knowing Carroll but said “I think she’s sick, mentally sick” and when he said Carroll was not his type Trump said he did not mean it as an insult.
“There's no way I would ever be attracted to her. Now, some people would be attracted to her perhaps. I would never be attracted to her,” Trump said.
Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, asked Trump whether he had ever kissed a woman without her consent.
“Well, I don’t – I can’t think of any complaints. But no. I mean, I don’t think so,” Trump responded.
Kaplan asked Trump whether he had ever pressured a woman to engage in sex with him. Trump responded “The answer is no. But you may have some people like your client who are willing to lie.”
