Both sides rest in Trump civil rape case

IT COULD UNDERCUT HIS PREVIOUS

CLAIM THAT CARROLL WAS, QUOTE,

NOT HIS TYPE.

RON ALLEN HAS BEEN FOLLOWING

THIS CASE FROM THE START.

>> Reporter: TODAY, E. JEAN

CARROLL LEFT FEDERAL COURT IN

MANHATTAN AFTER RESTING HER

CIVIL CASE.

SHE CLAIMS FORMER PRESIDENT

DONALD TRUMP RAPED HER IN A

FITTING ROOM IN 1996.

FROM OVERSEAS AND IRELAND,

BRINGING UP CRITICISM OF HIS

ACCUSER AND THE JUDGE AND

SUGGESTING PLANS FOR AN 11th

HOUR APPEARANCE TO TESTIFY.

>> I COULD GO BACK.

FOR A WOMAN WHO MADE A FALSE

ACCUSATION ABOUT ME AND I AM

GOING TO GO BACK AND CONFRONT

THIS WOMAN.

THIS WOMAN IS A DISGRACE AND IT

SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN

IN OUR COUNTRY.

>> REPORTER:'S ATTORNEYS

ALREADY TOLD THE JUDGE THEY ARE

FINE WITH NOT APPEARING AND THE JUDGE WARNED TRUMP'S LAWYERS

JUDGE WARNED TRUMP'S LAWYERS

THAT DISPARAGING REMARKS ABOUT

CARROLL ON SOCIAL MEDIA ARE

EXTREMELY INAPPROPRIATE AND

COULD CREATE MORE LEGAL TROUBLE

FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT.

THE JURY HAS HEARD TRUMP

TESTIFY.

IN A PRETRIAL VIDEO DEPOSITION,

WHICH INCLUDES WHEN TRUMP CALLS

CARROLL A WHACK JOB AND

MENTALLY SICK.

TRUMP, WHO HAS MOCKED CARROLL,

SAYING SHE IS NOT HIS TYPE,

APPEARS TO MISTAKE A PICTURE

OF HER FOR HIS EX-WIFE, MARLA

MAPLES, UNTIL HIS TOURNEY CORRECTS HIM.

CORRECTS HIM.

THE FORMER PRESIDENT ALSO IN

THE INFAMOUS ACCESS HOLLYWOOD

VIDEO, PLAYED FOR A SECOND TIME

IN THE TRIAL.

>> YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU

WANT.

GRAB THEM BY THE [ BLEEP ]

>> Reporter: TRUMP, AS HE HAS

IN THE PAST, CALLING IT LOCKER

ROOM TALK, WHILE ALSO SAYING

HIS COMMENTS WERE LARGELY TRUE.

OVER SEVERAL DAYS, THE AT TIMES

EMOTIONAL TESTIMONY, CLAIMING

TRUMP RAPED HER.

TWO OTHER WOMEN CLAIMED HE

ASSAULTED THEM.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY

SUPPORT FOR E. JEAN CARROLL.

>> Reporter: ONE IN 1979 AND THE OTHER IN 2005.

THE OTHER IN 2005.

>> I BELIEVE E. JEAN CARROLL.

>> Reporter: TRUMP IS NOT

FACING CHARGES IN THOSE

ALLEGATIONS AND HAS DENIED

WRONGDOING.

TWO FRIENDS OF CARROLL BACKED

UP HER STORY, TESTIFYING SHE

TOLD THEM ABOUT THE ATTACK

MINUTES AND THE NEXT DAY AFTER

IT HAPPENED.

CARROLL, A RETIRED TV ANCHOR

WOMAN, COLLEAGUE AND FRIEND OF

CARROLL'S, TELLING THE COURT I

AM HERE TO REMEMBER WHAT E.

JEAN CARROLL TOLD HER ABOUT THE

ATTACK BY TRUMP.

ADDING, I BELIEVE THAT THEN, I

BELIEVE IT NOW.

>> RON ALLEN JOINS US TONIGHT

FROM OUTSIDE THAT MANHATTAN

COURTHOUSE.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THE END OF

THE DAY THE JUDGE RESPONDED TO

COMMENTS ABOUT TRUMP COMING TO

TESTIFY.

WHAT DID HE SAY?

>> Reporter: HE SAID IN THE

INTEREST OF JUSTICE THAT MR.

TRUMP HAS UNTIL 5:00 P.M.

SUNDAY TO FILE A MOTION, IF IN

FACT HE DOES WANT TO CHANGE HIS

MIND AND COME AND TESTIFY.

THE JUDGE ALSO SAID THAT HE HAS

BEGUN TO MAKE PRECAUTIONS.

THE JUDGE APPARENTLY ALLUDING

TO THE FACT HE IS CONCERNED

ABOUT SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

IF MR. TRUMP DOES COME.

YOU REMEMBER A COUPLE WEEKS AGO

AND HE WAS HERE FOR HIS

CRIMINAL PROCEEDING, THERE WERE

PROTESTERS ON BOTH SIDES,

SUPPORTING AND AGAINST MR.

TRUMP.

THERE WAS GRIDLOCK IN THIS PART

OF TOWN AND A CLOSEDOWN THE

COURTHOUSE FOR SOME TIME.

THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE JUDGE

IS CONCERNED.

SO WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS

OVER THE WEEKEND.

IN THE MEANTIME THE COURT IS

DARK TOMORROW.

THERE ARE NO HEARINGS PLANNED.

MONDAY WOULD BE CLOSING

ARGUMENTS.

TUESDAY, THE JURY WOULD GET THE

CASE.

OF COURSE UNLESS MR. TRUMP

DECIDES TO CHANGE HIS MIND AND

COME HERE AND TRY TO CLEAR HIS

NAME.

>> RON, I KNOW YOU CAN NEVER

PREDICT HOW A JURY WILL REACT

OR DECIDE, BUT YOU HAVE COVERED

A LOT OF COURT CASES THROUGHOUT

YOUR REPORTING CAREER.

YOU HAVE BEEN COVERING THIS

CASE CLOSELY FOR US.

I THINK PEOPLE WATCHING THIS

ARE SAYING THAT THE DEFENSE

TEAM DID NOT PROVIDE A DEFENSE.

DID THEY FEEL THE CASE WAS

GOING THEIR WAY?

WE WATCHED A REPORT ANOTHER

REPORTING AND IT'S UNCLEAR IF

IT WAS.

FROM YOUR SENSE FROM WATCHING

THIS COURT CASE, DO YOU HAVE

ANY SENSE OF HOW IT IS GOING TO

GO?

>> Reporter: WHAT IS DIFFERENT

ABOUT THIS CASE IS THAT THERE

ARE THESE TWO OTHER ACCUSERS

WHO ARE ALLOWED TO TESTIFY,

BECAUSE OF A FEDERAL LAW,

FEDERAL RULE THAT ALLOWS THAT IN THIS KIND OF SEXUAL ASSAULT

IN THIS KIND OF SEXUAL ASSAULT

CASE, A CASE INVOLVING

ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT.

SO YOU HAVE NOT JUST E. JEAN

CARROLL MAKING ALLEGATIONS, BUT

TWO OTHER WOMEN MAKING SIMILAR

ALLEGATIONS ABOUT SEXUAL

ASSAULT.

AND THEN YOU HAVE THE ACCESS

HOLLYWOOD TAPE, WHERE MR. TRUMP

ESSENTIALLY SAYS HE CAN DO AND

GET AWAY WITH WHAT HE IS

ACCUSED OF DOING, IF YOU

INTERPRET IT THAT WAY.

THEN YOU HAVE TWO OTHER WOMEN

WHO WERE FRIENDS OF CARROLL WHO

SAY SHE TOLD THEM BACK IN THE

1990S THAT THIS HAPPENED THEN.

EVEN THOUGH SHE DID NOT REVEAL

THE STORY PUBLICLY FOR MANY

YEARS.

SO YOU HAVE WHAT IS PRETTY

CLOSE TO TWO EYEWITNESSES.

THAT IS WHAT MAKES THIS

DIFFERENT.

OF COURSE, MR. TRUMP HAS BEEN
