Trump's Counterclaim Dismissed, Deposition Allowed in E. Jean Carroll Case

Bragg's office this May issued a subpoena for the videotape and transcript of the deposition Trump gave in Carroll's civil case last fall.The judge last month ruled that Kaplan, who is overseeing Carroll's case, should decide whether a protective order covering the deposition precluded it from being given to the DA's office by her lawyers.

"She also looks forward to continuing to hold Trump accountable for what he did to her at the trial in [the other case], which is scheduled to begin on January 15," said Kaplan, who is not related to Judge Kaplan. Trump's lawyer and a spokeswoman for Bragg's office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The deposition Trump gave features an exchange he had with 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 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.
