He was holding my shoulders back.”@stewartbishop·34s“I didn't say words I couldn't, I tried, I was just flustered, I was sort of shocked,” she said.“Did you tell him to stop?” Ferrara asked.“I couldn't,” Stoynoff replied.

16/ The jury hears Trump on the campaign trail talking about Stoynoff, not by name, and her claims. "I asked a very simeple question, why wasn't it part of the story that appeared 20..12 years ago?" Trump says."Take a look at her, take a look at her words and tell me what you think," Trump said. "I don't think so." "I'm assuming he means that I'm unattractive," Stoynoff testifies.

18/ [Me: If you read any of this depo then you know it's a disaster for Trump]Trump is asked about his social life in the 90s, he says he was busy at the time, and didn't have much of one. He says he went to charity events, often with photo lines.Trump goes on to talk about appearing on TV on several occasions at the time...getting asked about his dating and married life. The attorney, Kaplan I think, asks Trump in what years was he married to Marla Maples."I'd have to check," Trump says.

21/ Trump is asked about Bergdorf Goodman, the department store where Carroll says she was raped. Trump says he hardly went to Bergdorf, "if ever." The store is located less than two blocks away from Trump Tower in Manhattan near Central Park.Kaplan turns to Trump's public denials of Carroll's claims.(see above... this is what I meant about redundant info... but elaboration is a good thing, so you'll see more redundant info😊 )

@GottaLaff Despite all the practice, he's a really bad liar. I suspect he has spent too many years surrounded by sycophants who pretend to believe every word. A good liar shades the truth. "Of course I know Berdorf Goodman. It was right by my office. I went there many times, as did millions of other people. Is that unusual?"
