A retired stock broker who has accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her decades ago testified Tuesday in a civil lawsuit brought by E. Jean Carroll, who says the former president raped her years before taking office.
Leeds testified about her work as a traveling sales representative, saying it was typical for men in her professional circles to make sexual comments. If she spoke to her bosses about the Trump incident, Leeds said, they would not have taken a complaint seriously.“At that time, in that place, in the work environment, men basically could get away with a lot, and that’s sort of where I put it,” she said during questioning by Michael Ferrara, an attorney for Carroll.
Leeds was one of several witnesses that Carroll’s attorneys are calling to the stand to corroborate elements of her account. Tacopina sought through his opening remarks and questioning to undermine her credibility with the jury. He used hours of cross-examination toin her public remarks and depictions of what happened. He asked why she never reported the alleged attack to police; quizzed Carroll about her politics, finances and career; and contrasted her testimony about suffering severe trauma with previous comments that she “never suffered.
Trump’s legal team has argued that Carroll, Birnbach and another friend conspired to concoct the story to harm Trump, whom they despised. Birnbach testified Tuesday that she was simply supporting her friend and being honest.she said.
