Video Deposition Of Donald Trump Made Public In Civil Case

by

Former President Donald Trump is currently in the midst of a civil trial over claims that he raped journalist E. Carroll Jean in the 1990s. Jean’s suit also alleges that Trump made defamatory comments about Jean when she went public with her accusation. Jean initially went public with her allegations in 2019 as she tired from Elle magazine.

The trial is expected to conclude on Monday with closing arguments, as President Trump has declined to take the witness stand. However, the last major development in the trial is the video deposition of President Trump conducted last October. While a written transcript was released publicly earlier year, the video of the deposition has been sealed until now.

Trump Deposition Explained

The deposition begins with questioning in relation to a post Trump made of Truth Social on October 12 2022 denying the allegations of rape put forwards by Jean. The post also calls her book “crummy” and said he “doesn’t know” and “doesn’t want to know” Jean. While defending the post in his deposition, Trump is heard remarking that “The woman — there’s something wrong with her in my opinion.” He later doubles down on the sentiment, calling her a “wack job” and saying “I think she’s sick, mentally sick.” The testimony is long and rambling. At one point, the deposing official even states “So, again, just so the testimony is clear, because you tend to give long answers,” while trying to get Trump to answer a question.

On multiple occasions, Trump claims he has no idea how Jean is beyond the fact she is suing him. This is in spite of a picture being entered into evidence showing the two meeting during the 1980s. Trump also attacks the deposing official, at one point saying, “You’re a political operative also. You’re a disgrace.· But she’s accusing me and so are you of rape, and it never took place.” As Trump has refused to take the stand in this case, his video deposition will be the only testimony the jury hears from the mouth of President Trump.

Lil Mosey Gets Candid After Beating Rape Case: “I Had To Rebuild My Whole Life”

Lil Mosey walked out of court a free man last month after he was acquitted in his rape trial. The “Blueberry Faygo” rapper escaped a potential life sentence and bounced back immediately with the release of “Flu Game.” During a recent interview with Billboard, he explained that he took inspiration from Michael Jordan’s infamous performance during game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals. MJ overcame his illness to bring the Bulls to victory, which Mosey said he related to after facing such a serious allegation.

Though Mosey pleaded not guilty from the jump, he was later cleared of all charges. However, the damage of the allegations still had an immediate effect on the rapper’s life. “It’s been tough, mentally. I kind of just had to rebuild my whole life,” he said. “It sucks to have something like that be attached to my name, knowing I didn’t do it, and the whole world can see that. The jury found me not guilty and I’m just grateful for the fans that have been here, and all the support they’ve shown.” 

Lil Mosey Cleared Of All Charges

Two women accused Lil Mosey and another man of raping them. They claimed the rapper invited them to a cabin where they all were partying. One of the women claimed that she consented to have sex with Mosey, but she said that she had been drinking and blacked out. She later claimed that she woke up to Mosey and his friend forcing themselves on her. However, she admitted that she previously had consensual sex with the rapper. When he took a polygraph test, he passed.

With the case behind him, he said that he wants to continue his career in music and flood the streets with new releases. Shortly after he was cleared, he performed at Rolling Loud LA for his first major performance in a long time. “It was amazing. I haven’t performed in front of a crowd that big in years so just to come back and feel that… I was shocked,” he said, adding that it was among the first times he got to perform “Blueberry Faygo” live.
