Trump reacts vs columnist’s sexual misconduct accuse

E. Jean Carroll, a longtime advice columnist, revealed on her upcoming book entitled “What Do We Need “What Do We Need Men For? A Modest Proposal,” that she was sexually assaulted by US President Donald Trump.

The alleged incident happened at Bergdorf Goodman department store back in year 1995. Carroll is the 16th woman to accuse Trump of sexual misbehavior since he ran for presidency.

In an excerpt of her book that appeared in New York Magazine, she described her encounter with then-real estate mogul Trump in the Manhattan department store. She was 52 years old by the time and she just started an advice column for Elle magazine called Ask E Jean.

The two recognized each other and they had a friendly conversation when Trump asked for her help choosing a gift. She said they went to the lingerie section when Trump suddenly became and pushed her inside a dressing room.

“The next moment, still wearing correct business attire, shirt, tie, suit jacket, overcoat, he opens the overcoat, unzips his pants, and, forcing his fingers around my private area, thrusts his penis halfway — or completely, I’m not certain — inside me,”

“He seizes both my arms and pushes me up against the wall a second time, and, as I become aware of how large he is, he holds me against the wall with his shoulder and jams his hand under my coat dress and pulls down my tights,” she writes.

The “colossal struggle” continues as he unzipped his trousers and forced his fingers around her genitals and thrusted his penis “halfway – or completely, I’m not certain – inside me.”

“I finally get a knee up high enough to push him out and off and I turn, open the door, and run out of the dressing room,” she said. “The whole episode lasts no more than three minutes.”

Carroll added that she was afraid to come forward sooner because she kept on receiving death threats even on her own home, she was also afraid of being dismissed, being drag to the mud, and “d joining the 15 women who’ve come forward with credible stories about how the man grabbed, badgered, belittled, mauled, molested, and assaulted them, only to see the man turn it around, deny, threaten, and attack them, never sounded like much fun.”

Trump on Friday released a statement in response to her accusations saying he never her in person and Carroll was just trying to use her to urge the public to buy her new book.

“Shame on those who make up false stories of assault to try to get publicity for themselves, or sell a book, or carry out a political agenda,” said the president. “False accusations diminish the severity of real assault. All should condemn false accusations and any actual assault in the strongest possible terms.”

However, New York Magazine on Friday released a photo of Trump together with his wife Ivana Trump, talking with Carroll and her husband at a party.
