Donald Trump’s lawyer told jurors that accuser E. Jean Carroll’s rape accusations are a “work of fiction” during closing arguments Monday.

Donald Trump’s lawyer said Monday that accuser E. Jean Carroll’s rape accusations are a “work of fiction” — and claimed she wants jurors in their civil trial to hate the former president so much they “ignore fact.”during closing remarks in the Manhattan federal court trial

“The whole story is clearly an unbelievable work of fiction,” Tacopina said of Carroll’s claims, calling them “an affront to justice.”The fact that Carroll, 79, did not report the alleged attack to the police after it happened, and that she couldn’t nail down the exact date, month or year she was assaulted are all indications that it is a bogus claim, Tacopina argued.
