Trumps own lawyer knows Carroll told a friend about the rape shortly after it happened....Why would Carroll have made up this story soon after the rape and tell her friends about it....Two credible witnesses who were told of the alleged rape at the time will be compelling evidence in a civil trial???
Quote:“I’m telling you he raped me whether I screamed or not,” she said, her voice breaking.
Tacopina also confronted Carroll over the fact she did not call police and instead called a friend, Lisa Birnbach.
Trump’s lawyer pressed Carroll about why, by her own account, she was laughing as she spoke to Birnbach. Carroll said that she was looking for reassurance that what she had just gone through was not as bad as she feared.
As Carroll began describing the assault, Birnbach told her to stop laughing.
“If Lisa had laughed I would have felt so much better. I was disoriented,” she said.
Instead, Birnbach told Carroll: “He raped you.”
“Those are the words that brought the reality to the forefront of my mind,” said Carroll.
Later, another friend told her not to go to the police because Trump was too powerful to take on.
“That’s the advice I wanted so that’s the advice I followed,” said Carroll.

Carol Martin and Lisa Birnbach told The New York Times they gave their friend different advice about what to do.
Birnbach said Carroll called her one day after leaving Bergdorf Goodman in New York City, minutes after the alleged rape had occurred. She said Carroll told her what happened ― an account that has made headlines across the world since New York magazine first published it last week.
Carroll has alleged Trump recognized her as she was leaving the luxury department store that day, stopped her and asked her to advise him on a gift he planned to buy for a woman. They allegedly ended up in the lingerie department of the store, where he told her to try on what she has described as a “bodysuit.”
She said she refused but suggested he do so. That’s when they ended up in a dressing room where, she has alleged, he pinned her against the wall with his shoulder, aggressively pulled down her tights with one hand, undid his pants with the other and and forcibly inserted his penis into her vagina briefly.
“You did say, ‘He put his penis in me,’” Birnbach told Carroll during the Times interview. “And I said ... ‘What? He raped you?’ And you said ... ‘He pulled down my tights. He pulled down my tights.’”
