Trump, 76, did not …に出席する the 裁判，公判, but 非常に長い excerpts of a ビデオテープd deposition from last October were pl ayed for 賠審員s. In them, he 否定するd ever 遭遇（する）ing Carroll at the 蓄える／店 or knowing her.

Roberta Kaplan, Carroll's 弁護士／代理人／検事, said in an emailed 声明 that the arguments by Trump's lawyers were frivolous.
She said the 全員一致の 陪審／陪審員団 had 結論するd that Trump sexually 強襲，強姦d Carroll and then defamed her "by lying about her with 憎悪, ill-will, or spite."
