The jury slated to decide whether Donald Trump is liable for defamation after he denied writer E. Jean Carroll's claims he raped her decades ago were shown taped testimony of the former president on Thursday in which Trump made joking quips about his accuser and the case.

“She’s not my type… it’s not politically correct to say it. I know that, but I’ll say it anyway,” Trump said during a deposition taken in October. He later turned to Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan.“You wouldn’t be a choice of mine either,” Trump said to her face.

“Historically that’s true with stars. If you look over the last million years, that’s largely true, unfortunately — or fortunately,” he said.Trump's comments in the deposition represented a form of rebuttal to testimony the nine-member jury heard earlier this week from witnesses brought by Carroll. Trump stood by his public statement last year when he called Carroll's story"a hoax" that was invented to sell a book she wrote. His claims are why Carroll brought the defamation case.
