Carroll had stated on the second day of the civil trial that she possessed an unlicensed “high standard revolver, [with] nine chambers” in her home at her bedside.
Following the visit by law enforcement, reporting officer John Rader offered to secure the weapon at the police station for safekeeping.
Carroll and a member of her security team subsequently handed over the firearm to law enforcement the following day, with the understanding that it would be held by the police until Carroll obtained a pistol license in the state of New York.

The incident regarding Carroll's unlicensed firearm arose during the cross-examination of her testimony in January when Trump's attorney questioned her about the gun. However, presiding Judge Lewis Kaplan intervened, signaling his disapproval of the line of questioning.
“Don’t even start,” the judge said when Trump’s attorney started to question Carroll about the firearm.
Carroll's lawsuit against former President Trump alleged that he had raped her, despite her inability to recall many details about the alleged incident. In the defamation case, a 9-panel jury found Trump liable for sexual assault and defamation, resulting in an order for him to pay $83 million in damages.
The former President has denied the claims made by Carroll, securing a $91.6 million bond while he appeals the verdict.
