accusing him of rape because"he knows what he did" to her, her attorney alleged in closing arguments Monday in Manhattan federal court.of the former president's October deposition in the case, where he looked at a picture of Carroll from the late 1980s and identified it as a photo of Marla Maples, Trump's second wife.

Trump had said in his deposition and in public statements after Carroll accused him of sexually assaulting her in a Manhattan department store that he wouldn't have done so because she was"not my type."After the mistake was pointed out to Trump by his lawyer, he said the picture was"blurry." Kaplan displayed it for the jury. “It’s not at all blurry,” she said, and Carroll was"exactly his type.

“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,” Trump said.“Who would say fortunately?” the lawyer added. “Someone who thinks they are a star. He thinks stars like him can get away with it.

Trump decided not to testify in the case, and his lawyers did not present any witnesses, which Kaplan noted to the jury. Trump did not show up, she said, because he “knows what he did.”
