showing a moment in a deposition where he saw a photo of carroll and confused her for his ex wife marla maplesthat's marla. >> you say that marla is in this photo? >> yes, that's my wife. >> which woman are you pointing to? >> the woman you just .2 is e jean carroll. >> that prove that carroll was exactly donald trump's wife, and the way that he treated her fit a pattern of behavior to other women testified he had assaulted them too in jurors heard his own words on the now infamous access hollywood video. >> kissing them, it's like a magnet, kissing them. when you are a star they let you do it. they let you do anything. >> speaks 16 steam called that a confession. >> historically that's true with stars. >> it's true with stars that they can grab women by the [bleep]? >> if you look over the last million years i guess that has been largely true, not always, but largely. unfortunately or fortunately. >> carroll who was given the opportunity to testify never once attended the trial, a decision his attorney defended today. what more could he say then i did not do it? >> reporter: calling it a disg

trump also confuse add photo of carroll whom he said was not his type for his ex-wife marla maples

the problem is that marla maples was exactly his type. in fact, he's been videotaped saying, in a very bizarre way, that he hoped his then one year old daughter would turn out to be every bit as beautiful as marla maples, and talked about, particular physical attributes, right? >> i remember that. >> yes, it was quite disturbing. but if marla maples was his type and then he looks at a picture of e. jean carroll and thinks it's marla maples, how credible is it for him to then say, she's not my type? which e. jean carroll testified, is basically a translation for, he's too ugly to assault. >> he does say some odious stuff. trump's lawyer, joe tacopina, try to discredit jessica leeds and her story by asking her repeatedly why she did not report the assault that she said took place on that flight. if she screamed, why she did not then tell a friend -- what do you make of that line of questioning? -- need to in 2017? what do you make of that question in 2023? >> it's really retrograde, right? e. jean carroll even said on the stand, in 2023, it

. >> reporter: he also confused a photo of carroll who he said wasn't his type for his ex-wife marla maples, yeah. that's my wife. >> reporter: a striking moment tacopina never addressed at trial. >> and laura, this case is also breaking rare legal ground. >> that's right. carroll's case is among the first to go to trial using a new law that gives survivors of sexual assault a window to file civil suits even when the statute of limitations has long since passed. many have filed claims under this new law. none with a verdict quite like this. lester? >> laura jarrett, thanks very much. for more i'm joined by legal analyst danny cevallos. danny, let's talk about that deposition for a minute. it clearly wasn't helpful to the former president. is that an issue for lawyers going forward as he faces other potential cases? >> yes. the lesson to be learned if you get trump into a deposition, he might stay on script for a little while, but sooner or later, he veers into improv, and improv is bad for him. for example, saying the plaintiff in this case was not his type had nothing to do with any kind o

he was seen escorting marla maples as early as 1989.orced from ivana trump until 1992. he could not even give robbie kaplan, the lawyer, the dates he was married to marla maples. he just continued a pattern of mendacity all throughout that deposition, that the jury is really going to have to think about in confronting whether or not this is a person about whom e. jean carroll was telling the truth. >> cynthia, trump initially had an expert, i believe, expert witness, i believe, lined up to try and rebut carroll's claims. that witness was unable to testify because of health issues. since the ex president will likely not appear, exactly, not appear this week, his defense included no witnesses. and that stands in contrast with what we saw from carroll's team, which put forward multiple witnesses, including two women who also alleged trump assaulted them. from a legal perspective, that the lack of witnesses on his side hurt the former president's case? >> of course. and not only do we have the two women who have been assaulted, but we have

marla maples is his second wife. aaron is leading it's off. >> this is the former president of the united states answering questions in a deposition about a rape he insists he never committed saying of his accuser she's not my time. >> i take it you stand by that statement today? >> yes, i do. >> donald trump shown this photo the moment that he met carroll in the late 1980s. >> you have in front of you a black and white photograph that we marked. >> when asked to identify the woman in the picture, trump mistakes carroll for his ex-wife, marla maples. >> it's marla. >> you're saying marla is in the photo? >> that's marla, yes. that's my wife. >> which one are you pointing to? >> here. >> the person you pointed to is e jean carroll. >> the president said he didn't raped her for her looks. so her lawyer following up with this question. >> the only difference between me and other people is i'm honest. she's not my type. >> i take it the three women you've married are all type? >> yeah. >> trump doubling down. >> she's ac

marla maples is his second wife.invested reporter aaron katersky is leading us off. >> aaron: this is the former president of the united states answering questions in a deposition about a rape he says he never committed, saying e. jean carroll is not his type. >> i take it you stand by that statement. >> yes, i do. >> aaron: shown in this photo in the late 1980s. >> a black and white photographs that w we have marked. >> aaron: when asked to identify the woman, trump mistakes carroll for his ex-wife, marla maples. >> that is marla. >> you said marla is in this photo? >> that is marla, yeah. that is my wife. >> witch woman? >> here. >> the person you pointed to is e. jean carroll. >> aaron: trump considered those continues to insist he does not rape carroll. >> the only difference between me and other people is i'm on his. she is not my type. >> i take it the three women you have married are all your type? >> yeah. >> aaron: trump doubling down. >> she is accusing me of rape, a woman i have no idea who she is. she is

even though in the same deposition, he misidentified a picture of carroll for his ex-wife, marla maples. >> that's marla. >> you're saying marla's in this photo? >> that's marla, yeah. that's my wife. >> which woman are you pointing to? >> here. >> the person you pointed to is e. jean carroll. >> who is this? >> and the woman on the right is your then wife ivana. >> this was the picture, i assume that's john johnson. is that carroll? because it's very blurry. >> yeah, sure, that's right. i'm sure the picture must have been blurry, except it actually wasn't. here's the picture. the picture that trump was holding that shows him from behind facing carroll and her then husband with trump's then wife ivana standing to his right. we have added a picture of marla maples to the screen so you can see they're two different people. it sure does look like carroll fit his type. during the deposition, trump also went on to insult e. jean carroll's lawyer, roberta kaplan, saying she wouldn't be his choice either under any circumstances, so i guess she should be relieved he wouldn't try to rape her all

jean carroll, he thinks that's marla maples, the woman he's gonna make his second wife.what was your reaction to that part of donald trump's testimony? >> it was the most incredible moment of all, in a way. i mean, he didn't even say the oh, it looks familiar. i mean, he said, that's my wife, marla. but he's standing with his ivana as you said. and also, that one photograph of the two couples together has been shown and shown and shown. for the last year, at least, if not more. how could he be so dumb, and then of course, he said it was blurry. but obviously, what a slip. and the point is, e. jean carroll was donald trump's type then, she would be his type now, i suppose, although he's not her type. there was crazy, it was a confession in a way. >> it was, absolutely. and there's also the trump confession, via the access hollywood video, that was brought into the trial. donald trump had that remarkable moment in defending what he said in the access hollywood trial, where he says, yes, men of always had the right to do this, famous metabolic had the right to do this to wo

you'll get the statement that marla maples is e. jean carroll.something that -- it's not gonna happen in a criminal case, but just remember, he's not gonna testify, but there are lots of statements out there in connection with the fani willis case, connection with january 6th in mar-a-lago cases. all sorts of statements that donald trump has made that we've talked about repeatedly. and i think the issue is he's gonna be on the take the stand, and contradict them, because he's not gonna be able to do that credibly. so, it's going to be, in a sense, very much a repeat of the dynamic that you saw at play here, it just won't be that there is an under deposition, and i think the other thing that will be similar, we've actually seen a judicial system and the jury system work. we've seen jurors, sworn under oath, and follow the law, and listen to the facts. and made a conscientious decision that was actually, as faith pointed out, they parsed it very carefully. as to what was proven and what wasn't. i think that's something we can expect in manhattan, i

the woman right in front of him on the left-hand side of the screen is not marla maples, his ex-wife now, but that is e. jean carroll, he confuses e. jean carroll with marla maples, at the same time saying she was not his type. >> again, if you had a defense case, i'm sure there would be a way to provide explanation. they do look remarkably similar at least in that picture. you would have some way to contextualize this, anything, but without a defense case, all the jury is left is with him saying she's not my type, but yet she was your type. >> you're a defense lawyer. i know it's donald trump, but if you were his lawyer would you be going to the golf course right now and saying, please, you got to come to new york and you got to clean this up or are you saying to him, you were too volatile, i don't know what you're going to say, i'm going to clean this up myself. >> it's a combination of those. what you do with difficult clients, and this is the classic difficult client, you put it in a note, memorialize it, but you realize you cannot control your clients. making those bad decisions

he married marla maples. this woman looks just like marla maples at that time. so that flies in the face of whatever kind of weird defense he thinks he has. again, this is the worst possible type of evidence in a case like this which is he said, she said in a sense it is circumstantial and it happened a long time ago, memories fade. but this puts you right back there and right then. and let's remember, he's not in the courtroom. most defendants that are being accused of something as heinous as sexual assault, whether it be a criminal defendant or a civil defendant, would you not want to get into that courtroom and defend yourself? he's not there. but this puts him in the courtroom. and puts him if a way that is very unflattering. again, i would say this is a very, very, good day for that civil defense -- for that civil attorney. >> right. which we're only learning about now that we see the video. the last little piece that i have is the inflection or perhaps the national moment to revisit what happened in '16. and some people are tired of it and yet i think we s

saying "she's not my type" and while being deposed, refusing a photo of carroll for his former wife marla maples. aaron could tour ski in the courtroom, john karl with the new reporting from inside trump circle. also breaking at this hour, new york cones

jean carroll for his ex-wife marla maples. pres. trump: that is marla. is my wife. >> which one are you pointing to? pres. trump: here. >> you just pointed to e. jean carroll. the woman on the right is your then wife marla? pres. trump: this is a picture. i assume -- it is very blurry. amy: in a moment we will be joined by jessica leeds who testified during the trial about how trump sexually assaulted her during a flight in the 1970's. but we begin with moira donegan, an opinion columnist covering gender and politics for the guardian. also a writer-in-residence at the clayman institute for gender research at stanford university. thank you so much for joining us. can you first respond to the verdict, to a unanimous jury finding donald trump libel for sexily assaulting and defaming e. jean carroll? >> thank you for having me, amy. something to remember about this verdict, it was unusually fast that suggested this was not very close. even in a civil trial like this, the jury will be out in deliberations for much longer. they came back yesterday in just unde

jury trump's deposition when he was handed a photo of carol and confused her for his ex wife, marla maples. that's marla. yeah, that's that's my wife, woman are you pointing to here? oh just pointed to was carol republicans appear unfazed by the latest legal blow to trump senator marco rubio called the jury a joke, and senator bill haggerty described the verdict as the latest legal circus. we've seen president trump under attack since before he became president. this has been going on for years. and he has been amazing in his ability to whether these sorts of attacks, but senator john cornyn, a trump critic, told reporters. i do not think he can win the presidency regardless of what you think about him as an individual. former vice president mike pence who is considering whether to challenge trump for the party's nomination in 2024, says americans are not focused on his former boss. i have to tell you that as i've traveled around the country the last two years, all of the controversies that are surrounding the president or just not what people talk to me about. carol called the verdict of

carroll as being his second wife, marla maples, who was his type. out ms. carroll that he thinks is marla maples, and he explained what he meant about how stars can grab women by the "p" word, he said -- he used the word fortunately, for arguing wise, stars can do that against women. the jury, though he did not make an appearance personally, he did. they got to hear his own words and arguably hear his confession about what he did to ms. carroll. >> trump's attorney asked the jury to put aside their personal feelings about donald trump and focus on the facts. how can a jury put aside who somebody's personal behavior been publicly documented, how can you do that? >> that's what the hope is, you pick people who will just focus in on what they heard in that courtroom. everybody knows who donald trump is, and everybody has an opinion about them. you would hope these nine people, whatever that opinion is, they leave that outside the courtroom and just focus in on what they heard coming out of the witness' mouth, the physical evidence, not the attorneys. t

but when showed a photograph of carol trump confused her with his second wife, marla maples. it's marla. you're saying marvelous in this photo. that's marlon. yeah, that's that's my wife pointing to here. oh just pointed carol, another major moment in the deposition. the infamous access hollywood tape, which is brought up throughout the trial . carol's attorney said the jury did not have to rely solely on her account. they said that former president trump told the jury that he sexually assaulted women. in the same way that he described on the access hollywood tape. when you're a star, they let you do it. you can do anything. whatever you want. grab them by the to do anything. trump standing by his comments in his deposition. historically, that's true with stars. it's true with stars that that they can grab women by the world. this would it's if you look over the last million years , i guess that's been largely to not always but largely true. unfortunately unfortunately, this is just the latest in a string of legal battles of former president is facing as he continues his bid f

jean carroll for donald trump's second wife, marla maples, during the videotape deposition. >> here'swoman. let's say, it's marla. >> you said marla is in this photo? >> yes, that's my wife. >> which woman are you referring to? >> here. >> e. jean carroll's lawyer then told the jury what did mr. trump do after i showed him that photograph. he looked at it for a moment, pointed to miss carroll, and then said completely unprompted by me, it's marla, that's marla, yeah, that's my wife. mr. trump pointed to miss carroll, the woman he supposedly said was not his type, and mistook her for marla maples. miss carroll's hairdo at the time was similar in both cut and color to miss nichols. she was exactly his time. e. jean carroll's lawyer reminded the jury of donald trump's access hollywood video. >> you know, i'm automatically attracted to beautiful -- it's like a magnet, just kiss. i don't even wait. and when you are a star, they let you do it. you can do anything. >> whatever you want. >> grab them by the [ bleep ]. >> e. jean carroll's lawyer then told the jury what is donald trump doing h

moment in trump's deposition when he's handed this photograph and mistakes carol for his ex wife, marla maples, it's marla. marvelous in this photo. that's marla. yeah that's that's my wife. woman are you pointing to here? was that you just pointed to his. carol carol's attorney, roberta kaplan, said that proves carol was exactly trump's type. carrell's team also played the jury the infamous access hollywood tape calling it a confession trump telling you, in his own words, how he treats women kissing them. it's like a magnet. i don't need to wait. and when you're a star, they let you do it. you can do anything. trump's explanation. well, historically, that's true with stars. true with stars that that they can grab women by the all this what? that's if you look over the last million years, i guess that's been largely to not always but largely true. unfortunately or fortunately, carol's attorney pounced. who would say fortunately to describe the act of sexual assault. i know who kaplan said he thinks stars like him can get away with it. the defense called carol's story in unbelievable work of fi

. >> reporter: he misidentified carroll in photograph as his second wife, marla maples. >> that's marlaut that infamous access hollywood videotaped. >> it is true how celebrities can grab them by the [bleep]? >> largely true, fortunately or unfortunately. >> his deposition could be said to be a disaster in this case. the worse when it's against donald trump was donald trump. >> reporter: trump lawyers say they plan to appeal. the former president is facing a host of other legal challenges, and putting probes in new york, washington, and atlanta. the former president has denied any wrongdoing. norah? >> norah: elaine quijano, thank you. for more, let's bring cheap washington horse but it major garrett. good evening. what is the political impact of this? because he is running for president. >> reporter: yes, he is the current republican front-runner, not just a former president. this was, it all terms, a character sketch of donald trump then and now. senate republicans are not rallying to his defense. to talk about the case for a second. the defense was he was rude, he was crude, but he w

jean carroll was marla maples.ow a jury might interpret that. >> yeah, this was another unforced error on his part, anderson, because obviously you'd expect anyone in his shoes to say he didn't do it, and then most people would back that up by saying, i'm not the person who does this sort of thing. let me bring in character witnesses to tell yu i'm not that kind of person. trump can't do that because if he opened the door to that there would be dozens lined up on what kind of character and he has done this with many women. instead he goes with, she's not my type and bungles that one, because by identifying e. jean carroll as his wife. it was a disastrous performance for trump, and because the jury doesn't have anything else to look to, as cara said, like his own testimony or other witnesses appearing on his behalf, it's pretty one-sided. >> jennifer, as far as attorneys advising people on how to behave during a deposition, it seems like the former president, for somebody who has been deposed and sued as many times

he claimed carroll was not his type but then mistook her photo for his second wife marla maples. >> i don't even know who the woman -- let's see, i don't know who -- it's marla. >> you're saying marla's in this photo? >> that's marla, yeah. it's my wife. >> which one are you pointing to? >> here. >> the person you just pointed to was e. jean carroll. >>> and the great macaroni mystery. who dumped hundreds of pounds of pasta in the woods in a new jersey town? we're going to ask the mayor tonight. >>> okay, but let's start with what we know about justin neely's death on a new york city subway. the 24-year-old man who put him in a choke hold has been identified by his lawyer as daniel penny, a college student and former marine. jordan neely's father is demanding answers and an arrest, and protesters want action. >> why is the killer free? why is the killer free? why is the killer free? >> okay, let's bring in my panel here with me tonight. we have emmy winner w. kamau bell, criminal defense attorney joey jackson, and former congressman max rose. gentlemen, thanks so much for being with m

>> reporter: he misidentified carroll in a photograph as his second wife, marla maples. >> it's marland was asked about that infamous "access hollywood" recording. >> is it true of stars that they can grab women by the [ bleep ]. >> well, that's what -- if you look over the last million years, i guess that's been largely true, not always but largely true, unfortunately or fortunately. >> his deposition could be said to be a disaster in this case. the worst witness against donald trump was donald trump. >> reporter: trump's lawyers say they plan to appeal. the former president is facing a host of other legal challenges, including criminal probes in new york, washington, and atlanta. the former president has denied any wrongdoing. norah. >> elaine quijano, thank you very much. for more, let's bring in chief washington correspondent major garrett. good evening. what's the political impact of this because he's running for president. >> yes, and he's the current republican front-runner, not just a former president. but this was in all terms, norah, a character sketch of donald trump then a

in trump's deposition when he is head of this photograph and mistakes carroll for his ex-wife marla maples. >> that is marla. >> you are saying marla is in this photo? >> that is marla, yeah. that's my wife. >> which woman are you pointing to? >> here. >> the pointed that you just pointed to his e. jean carroll. >> reporter: the attorney says it proves carroll was exactly trump's type. carroll's team played the jury the infamous access hollywood tape. trump telling you in his own words how he treats women. >> to start kissing them, like a magnet. i don't need to wait. when they are a star, they let you do it. >> they played trump's explanation. >> historically that is true with stars. >> true with stars that they can grab woman by the [bleep]. >> if you look over the last million years, that's been largely true. not always. but largely true. unfortunately or fortunately. >> carroll's attorney pounds, who would say fortunately to describe the active sexual assault. he thinks stars like kim can get away with it. the defense called carroll story and unbelievable work of fiction ripped from a

jean carroll from the early '90s with his second wife, marla maples. later in the deposition, he is asked by carroll's attorney, are all of your wives your type? and trump says, yes, they are. this is something that carroll's team wants to use to undercut his argue that she wasn't his type, and that that statement was a lie. it's interesting because trump, as you said, has waived his right to testify. he has not attended any of the civil trial, and he's not required to. but this will be the only words that the jury will see, the words and trump's reaction to the questions as they consider this case, and they could get it as early as tuesday. jake. >> yeah, and the jury will also see, of course, that the photograph is not blurry at all. kara scannell, thank you so much. h here now, two former federal prosecutors. jennifer, let me start with you. let's start with where kara just dropped -- trump has said he couldn't possibly have sexually assaulted e. jean carroll because, and i'm quoting him now, she's not my type. here we have him mistaking a picture o

attorney suggested carroll was his type because he mistook this photo of carroll for his ex-wife, marla maples the former president's defense lawyer joe tacopina told the jury to put aside any feelings about his client, saying "they want you to hate him enough to ignore the facts. drilling down on past media interviews, tacopina argued carroll hasn't acted traumatized, returning to bergdorf goodman where she says the attack happened. >> i was just there today. >> reporter: and posing with a trump look-alike while the jury has heard a lot about donald trump, he never came in person, leaving an opening for carroll's attorney who said today "he didn't even bother to show up." with closings now over the case will be in the hands of the jury as soon as tomorrow morning. lester >> laura jarrett, thank you. >>> a growing outcry over that deadly chokehold on a new york subway. calls for charges while lawyers for the rider who subdued the man say he acted in self-defense emilie ikeda has more. and we have to warn you the video is quite disturbing >> reporter: protests demanding justice for jordan neely

. >> reporter: when trump notably confuses carroll with marla maples. d ivana, his first wife. >> you said marla? >> that is my wife. >> which are you pointing to? >> here. >> carroll. >> reporter: this week in court, jurors were shown this "access hollywood" tape, released just days before the 2016 election. >> you can do anything you want. whatever you want. grab them by the [bleep]. >> reporter: the attorney asks trump about those remarks. >> you can do anything, grab them by the [bleep], that's what you said? >> well, historically, that is true with stars. >> it is true with stars that they can grab women by the [bleep]? >> well, that's, if you look over the last million years, i guess, that's been largely true. not always, but largely true. unfortunately or fortunately. >> reporter: the judge has given trump until 5:00 p.m. sunday if he wants to change his mind and testify in his own defense. after that, closing arguments, and then this jury of nine, including three women, will determine if trump is liable. norah? >> norah: scott macfarlane, thank y

that plus that lame deposition in which he confused marla maples with his -- with e. jean carroll and said that thing about it wasn't his type. it was the president's indifference to this lawsuit, his arrogance. the jury sped to the verdict because they had donald trump basically as the hardest worst witness against himself. he says he can as a star touch women whenever he wants to and then when he says that that's been the law of the jungle since a million years, it just seems to me that the president took this way too lightly. i think the attorney, joe tacopino did the best he could without a client to help him. so the jury just heard the evidence and said hey, listen, we'll do what trump admits that he's done. i don't have to go very far. it's not be big stretch. you got it. that's the case in three hours. wrap it up. the $5 million is within the range of plausibility of the defamation case and sexual battery. he's not a rapist. i think the president can be relieved that at least this new york jury did not find that the former president of the united states is a ra
