A woman who testified in the E. Jean Carroll case that Trump had groped her on an airplane in 1979 said his comments about her at a press event today show he’s “unraveling.”
“I really think it’s obvious that Trump is getting to the point that there is so much against him that he is unraveling in front of us and it is terribly unfortunate,” Jessica Leeds said in a statement after a press event where he attacked her and other women who’ve accused him of sexual misconduct.
Leeds testified last year that Trump started kissing her and grabbing her breast after she was seated next to him on a flight and they started chatting. It was “like he had 40 zillion hands,” she testified. Trump’s lawyers argued to appeals court today that Leeds’ testimony in the Carroll case should not have been allowed.
Trump has denied her account, which he brought up unsolicited while addressing reporters at Trump Tower, suggesting he was already famous because of his book “The Art of the Deal,” which came out in 1987.
“She made up the story,” he said. “She said I was making out with her. And then, after 15 minutes, and then she changed her story a couple of times, maybe it was quicker. That I grabbed her at a certain part. And that was when she had enough. Now, so, think of how, the impracticality of this,” he added. “What are the chances of that happening? What are the chances?”
“And, frankly, I know you’re going to say it’s a terrible thing to say, but, it couldn’t have happened. It didn’t happen. And, she would not have been the chosen one. She would not have been the chosen one,” Trump said.
