(PM.) Video of President Donald Trump’s fall 2022 deposition in the E. Jean Carroll civil rape case was released per a judge’s order on Friday, and a clip went viral showing Trump speaking his mind as to exactly what he thought of both Jessica Leeds and the attorney who was deposing him at the time.
In the clip, Trump was asked, “When you said in that video that Ms. Leeds would not be your first choice, you were referring to her physical looks, correct?”
The Ms. Leeds referred to in the video is Jessica Leeds, who came forward in 2016 to allege Donald Trump groped her on an airplane in the 1980s. https://t.co/kYFcWSiLtv

“Just the overall,” Trump replied. “I look at her, I see her, I hear what she says. Whatever. You wouldn’t be a choice of mine either, I hope you’re not insulted. I would not under any circumstances have any interest in you. I’m being honest when I say it. She, I would not have any interest in.”
The Ms. Leeds who is being referenced is a woman who accused Trump of groping her on an airplane back in the 1990s, which is the same era as Carroll’s allegations. She claimed Trump kissed her in the first-class cabin, as well.
