Donald Trump deposition: New York court releases video in civil rape trial

A video of a deposition given by former US president Donald Trump as part of his civil rape trial has been released by the court. The roughly 48-minute video shows Mr Trump, 76, mistaking his accuser E Jean Carroll for his ex-wife Marla Maples in a photo.

It also shows him repeating his denial of Ms Carroll's allegations by claiming she is "not my type". Lawyers for both sides rested their case on Thursday. Mr Trump has not been present in New York for the trial and his lawyers called no witnesses before resting their case.(本段有发音精讲，关注公众号可可英语晨读获取)

But, on a judge's orders, the former president formally provided sworn evidence on camera last October over Ms Carroll's claim that he raped her inside a New York City department store in the mid-1990s.

Video of the deposition was shown to jurors on Thursday and publicly released for the first time on Friday after a petition by media organisations.

During the deposition, Mr Trump is shown the leaked Access Hollywood tape, which was published by the Washington Post during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Mr Trump can be seen shifting uncomfortably in his seat as he is heard on the tape saying "you can do anything" to women "when you're a star".
