VIRAL VIDEO: Donald Trump turns the table on lawyer during Carroll deposition: ‘You wouldn’t be a choice of mine either’
“You wouldn’t be a choice of mine either, I hope you’re not insulted.”
“You wouldn’t be a choice of mine either, I hope you’re not insulted.”

Video of President Donald Trump's fall 2022 deposition in the E. Jean Carroll civil rape case was released per a judge's order on Friday, and a clip went viral showing Trump speaking his mind as to exactly what he thought of both Jessica Leeds and the attorney who was deposing him at the time.
In the clip, Trump was asked, "When you said in that video that Ms. Leeds would not be your first choice, you were referring to her physical looks, correct?"

I would not under any circumstances have any interest in you. I'm being honest when I say it. She, I would not have any interest in."
The Ms. Leeds who is being referenced is a woman who accused Trump of groping her on an airplane back in the 1990s, which is the same era as Carroll's allegations. She claimed Trump kissed her in the first-class cabin, as well.
Carroll brought the suit, claiming that Trump raped her in the Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in New York in the 1990s. Trump has denied the allegations entirely.
"It didn't happen," he said in the deposition. "And by the way, if it did happen, it would have been reported within minutes. Talking about going to a major floor, probably I assumed the most important floor, a major floor in a major department store. That's a very busy store, by the way, checkout counters and everything else. And I would be in there– I mean, it's the most ridiculous. It's the most ridiculous disgusting story is just made up."
The New York jury in the case heard and saw the deposition this week. Because this is a civil case, any verdict has to do with whether or not it is likely or unlikely that Trump committed the act, and could have financial, though no criminal liability for the leading 2024 GOP presidential candidate.
