According to the New York (AP), A video recording of former US, President Donald Trump being questioned about the allegations against him was made public for the first time on May 5, providing a glimpse of the Republican’s emphatic, often colorful denials.

Jurors got to see the video of Trump’s October 2022 deposition over the past few days at the trial over a lawsuit filed against him by advice columnist E. Jean Carroll. Written transcripts of Trump’s testimony had also previously been made public, but not the recording itself.

However, the video was made available on Friday to news agencies covering the proceedings.

Report says, the video showed Trump answering questions in his trademark navy suit and a bright blue tie. He called Carroll’s claim that he raped her in a luxury Manhattan department store “a false, disgusting lie.”

“It’s a disgrace. Frankly it’s a disgrace that something like this can be brought,” Trump said.

Trump reiterated his assertion that Carroll is “not my type,” but also mistook her for his second wife, Marla Maples, when shown a photo of him meeting Carroll and her then-husband at an event in the 1980s.

Similarly, Trump was also asked about the notorious “Access Hollywood” video in which he bragged about grabbing women’s genitals. He said, as he has previously, that he was engaging in “locker room talk.” Trump justified his comments about prominent people being able to have their way with women, saying: “Historically that’s true with stars.”

Moreover, All planned testimony in the trial finished on May 4th, clearing the way for closing argument by the lawyers to happen Monday barring a last-minute decision by Trump to testify.
