Trump's latest decision in rape trial could save his campaign

Carroll's legal team also reportedly plans to use a 45-minute video of Trump's deposition regarding the case in helping frame his state of mind toward the allegations, all contextualized by his previous statements about the treatment of women. In March, the federal judge overseeing the trial ruled Carroll's legal team could include an infamous leaked tape from a 2005 episode of Access Hollywood in which Trump appears to gloat about his past sexual transgressions.

His own words during the deposition, paired with that context, might be enough to do him in. Carroll's legal team, notably, never issued a subpoena forcing Trump to testify, University of Alabama law professor and former U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance pointed out in a tweet Tuesday afternoon, an indication of"just how strong the deposition is in their view.

"Without testifying or even appearing in court, Trump will probably lose this case," Nahmani said."The jurors have heard a one-sided account of what happened, and Carroll's lawyers can pick and choose what pieces of deposition testimony to play in court."
