The deposition Trump gave features an exchange he had with Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, who asked him about the infamous "Access Hollywood" comment made years earlier. In those comments, Trump bragged about sexually groping women without asking for their consent and getting away with it because of he was a "star."Roberta Kaplan, who is not related to Judge Kaplan, then asked him if was "true with stars that they can grab women" by their genitals.
"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 replied.
