Donald Trump confuses E Jean Carroll with ex-wife in 2022 deposition video

Video of Donald Trump's deposition in his civil rape trial in New York City was released to the public on Friday. The footage, from last October, included a previously reported but never publicly seen exchange in which the former president mistook a picture of his accuser, the writer E Jean Carroll, for a picture of his second wife, Marla Maples. Carroll says Trump raped her in a department store in New York in the mid-1990s. She is suing for battery and for defamation, over comments he made while denying the claim, which she made in a book in 2019
