Transcripts of those depositions had already been released, showing "that Trump repeatedly indicated that he had never met instructors at Trump University, despite advertisements for the program indicating that its staff had been hand-picked by the real estate mogul." "In the context of this case, especially its allegations of sex trafficking of young girls," Preska said, "the Court finds that any minor embarrassment or annoyance resulting from disclosure of Ms. Maxwell's mostly non-testimony about behavior that has been widely reported in the press is far outweighed by the presumption of public access."

In a 44-page opinion, the court denied Trump's motion for summary judgment on most of the claims, finding that there was a genuine issue of fact on plaintiffs' claims of deceptive practices and misrepresentation in advertisements in violation of California, Florida, and New York consumer protection and business law and therefore letting these claims proceed to trial.

## 2016 Transcript Surfaces in E. Jean Carroll Defamation Case Against Trump

A previously unseen transcript from 2016 has emerged as a key piece of evidence in the ongoing defamation lawsuit filed by writer E. Jean Carroll against former President Donald Trump. The transcript, part of a larger legal battle stemming from Carroll's accusation that Trump raped her in the mid-1990s, sheds new light on the events surrounding the initial allegations and Trump's response.

Carroll first publicly accused Trump of rape in a 2019 excerpt from her book, "What Do We Need Men For?". She alleged the assault took place in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in either 1995 or 1996. Trump vehemently denied the allegations, calling them "false, malicious and libelous."

In response to Trump's denial, Carroll filed a defamation lawsuit against him in November 2019. She later filed a second lawsuit in 2022, expanding her claim to include statements Trump made after the initial accusation, citing New York's Adult Survivors Act, which allows sexual assault victims to file civil suits beyond the statute of limitations.

The newly released 2016 transcript, reportedly from a deposition taken during a separate legal matter, captures Carroll's initial reaction to the possibility of being sued by Trump. In it, she states her intention to countersue if Trump pursued legal action against her.

The transcript's emergence comes amidst a flurry of legal battles involving Trump and allegations of sexual misconduct. These include a 1997 lawsuit filed by businesswoman Jill Harth alleging breach of contract and sexual harassment, which was partially settled, and a 2017 defamation lawsuit filed by former contestant Summer Zervos after Trump denied her claims of sexual misconduct.

The 2016 transcript adds another layer of complexity to Carroll's defamation case against Trump. It provides a glimpse into Carroll's mindset at the time and her willingness to stand by her accusations, even in the face of potential legal repercussions. The transcript's contents could prove crucial in shaping the outcome of the ongoing legal battle.

As the case progresses, the 2016 transcript is likely to be scrutinized by both sides, with each seeking to leverage its contents to support their respective arguments. The outcome of the case could have significant implications for both Carroll and Trump, potentially setting a precedent for future cases involving allegations of sexual misconduct and defamation. 



##  2016 Transcript Surfaces in E. Jean Carroll Defamation Case Against Donald Trump

A 2016 transcript from a deposition has resurfaced, adding another layer to the ongoing defamation lawsuit filed by writer E. Jean Carroll against former President Donald Trump. The transcript, part of a separate defamation lawsuit Carroll filed against Trump in 2019, reveals Carroll's determination to counter-sue if Trump pursued legal action against her.

The case stems from Carroll's allegation that Trump raped her in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s. Trump has vehemently denied the accusations, calling them "false, malicious and libelous."

In the 2016 transcript, Carroll states her intention to counter-sue if Trump chose to sue her for defamation. This foreshadows the legal battle that would unfold years later.  Carroll's initial lawsuit, filed in 2019, focused on Trump's public denials of her allegations, which she claimed damaged her reputation.

The case gained renewed attention in 2022 when Carroll filed a second lawsuit against Trump under New York's Adult Survivors Act. This law allows sexual assault survivors to file civil suits even if the statute of limitations has expired.

The 2016 transcript adds another piece to the complex legal puzzle surrounding Carroll's allegations. It highlights the long-standing nature of the dispute and Carroll's unwavering commitment to pursuing justice.

The transcript's release comes amidst a broader conversation about sexual assault allegations against powerful figures and the legal mechanisms available to survivors. Carroll's case has become a significant test of the Adult Survivors Act and its potential impact on holding perpetrators accountable for past actions.

The outcome of Carroll's lawsuit against Trump remains to be seen. However, the 2016 transcript sheds light on the history of their legal battle and Carroll's determination to hold Trump accountable for his alleged actions. 



##  2016 Transcript Surfaces in E. Jean Carroll's Defamation Case Against Donald Trump

A previously unreleased transcript from 2016 has emerged, adding another layer to the ongoing legal battle between writer E. Jean Carroll and former President Donald Trump. The transcript, part of a defamation lawsuit filed in Manhattan, sheds light on Carroll's initial response to Trump's vehement denial of her allegations that he raped her in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s.

In the transcript, Carroll expresses her intention to countersue if Trump were to take legal action against her. At the time, Trump had characterized her account as "false, malicious and libelous," strongly denying the claims. 

Carroll's initial lawsuit, filed in November 2019, accused Trump of defamation for publicly branding her a liar.  She later filed a second lawsuit in November 2022, expanding her claims under New York's Adult Survivors Act, a law allowing sexual assault victims to file civil suits beyond the statute of limitations.

This legal saga is just one chapter in a larger pattern of accusations against Trump. The transcript's release coincides with a renewed national conversation about sexual misconduct allegations against powerful figures.

The 2016 transcript doesn't directly address the substance of Carroll's allegations but offers a glimpse into the initial stages of the legal fight. It highlights the high stakes involved and Carroll's determination to stand by her story in the face of Trump's strong denials.

The emergence of this document is likely to fuel further debate and scrutiny surrounding the case, potentially influencing the course of the ongoing legal proceedings. 

## 2016 Transcript Surfaces in E. Jean Carroll's Defamation Suit Against Trump

A 2016 transcript has resurfaced, shedding new light on the ongoing defamation lawsuit between writer E. Jean Carroll and former President Donald Trump. The transcript, previously sealed, was part of a defamation suit filed in Manhattan by Carroll against Trump in 2019.

In the transcript, Carroll recounts her allegations of rape against Trump, an incident she claims occurred in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the mid-1990s. Trump has vehemently denied these claims, characterizing them as "false, malicious and libelous."

The transcript details Carroll's initial intention to countersue Trump if he pursued legal action against her, highlighting the contentious nature of the case from its outset.

Carroll's 2019 defamation lawsuit stemmed from Trump's public denial of her allegations. She contended that his statements damaged her reputation and career. In 2022, she filed a second suit, expanding her claims under New York's Adult Survivors Act, which allows sexual assault victims to pursue civil action beyond the statute of limitations.

The release of the 2016 transcript comes amidst a flurry of legal battles involving Trump and allegations of sexual misconduct.

This case is just one of many that have cast a shadow over Trump's personal and professional life. Other notable cases include:

* A rape claim made by Ivana Trump, his then-wife, during their 1990 divorce proceedings. She later recanted the allegation.
* A 1997 lawsuit filed by businesswoman Jill Harth, alleging breach of contract and sexual harassment. Harth settled the breach of contract claim and forfeited the sexual harassment claim.
* Former contestant Summer Zervos's claims of sexual misconduct, followed by a 2017 defamation lawsuit after Trump publicly accused her of lying. Zervos eventually withdrew her lawsuit.

The 2016 transcript adds another layer of complexity to Carroll's case, providing a glimpse into her mindset and legal strategy at the early stages of their legal battle. As the case progresses, the transcript is likely to be scrutinized closely by both legal teams and the public alike.

The ongoing legal proceedings highlight the enduring impact of sexual assault allegations and the complexities of navigating the justice system in such cases. The outcome of Carroll's lawsuit against Trump could have significant implications for both parties involved and for the broader conversation surrounding sexual misconduct allegations against powerful figures. 

## Sealed Deposition Transcript From 2016 Resurfaces in E. Jean Carroll Lawsuit Against Trump

A previously sealed deposition transcript from 2016 has been released, adding a new layer to the ongoing legal battle between writer E. Jean Carroll and former President Donald Trump. The transcript, part of a defamation lawsuit Carroll filed against Trump in 2019, recounts her allegations of sexual assault against Trump which he vehemently denied, calling them "false, malicious, and libelous."

Carroll first publicly accused Trump of raping her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s in a 2019 book excerpt.  Following Trump's forceful denials and counterclaim that she was lying, Carroll filed a defamation lawsuit.  Later, in 2022, she filed a second suit, broadening the accusation to include additional statements made by Trump and invoking New York's Adult Survivors Act, which allows for the filing of civil lawsuits for sexual assault claims beyond the statute of limitations.

The 2016 deposition, filed as part of the original lawsuit, adds another dimension to the case. It offers a glimpse into Carroll's initial recounting of the alleged assault and her responses to questioning during the deposition process. The details of the transcript's content remain undisclosed, but its release is likely to be scrutinized by both sides as the case progresses.

The ongoing litigation against Trump also includes other allegations from various women, including a 1990 rape claim by his then-wife Ivana Trump (later recanted), a 1997 lawsuit by businesswoman Jill Harth alleging sexual harassment and breach of contract (settled with Harth dropping the harassment claim), and a claim of sexual misconduct by former contestant Summer Zervos followed by a defamation suit filed by Zervos after Trump accused her of lying (later withdrawn by Zervos).

The recent release of the 2016 transcript underscores the complex and multi-faceted nature of the legal battles surrounding Trump and allegations of sexual misconduct. As the case proceeds, this previously unseen evidence could potentially play a crucial role in shaping the outcome. 

It remains to be seen how the release of the transcript will impact the ongoing litigation, but it undoubtedly adds a significant new element to the already complex and highly publicized case against Donald Trump. 

Title: E. Jean Carroll's Renewed Defamation Claim Against Former President Donald Trump

In 2016, journalist E. Jean Carroll accused then-presidential candidate Donald Trump of raping her in a department store during the mid-1990s. Trump vehemently denied the allegations, characterizing Carroll's story as "false, malicious, and libelous." In response, Carroll filed a defamation lawsuit against Trump in November 2019, alleging that he had defamed her by claiming she lied about the alleged rape.

In November 2022, Carroll filed an amended complaint, renewing her defamation claim and expanding it to include additional statements made by Trump. The amended complaint was filed under the Adult Survivors Act, a New York law that allows sexual assault victims to file civil suits beyond the expiration of the statute of limitations.

Carroll's initial allegations were part of a defamation lawsuit filed in Manhattan in 2016, in which she stated that if sued by Trump, she intended to countersue. Trump's response to Carroll's allegations was to deny them and accuse her of lying.

Carroll's defamation claim is not the only legal action taken against Trump regarding sexual misconduct allegations. Other litigation includes his then-wife Ivana Trump's rape claim during their 1990 divorce (she later recanted), businesswoman Jill Harth's 1997 lawsuit alleging breach of contract and sexual harassment (she settled the former claim and forfeited the latter), and former "Apprentice" contestant Summer Zervos's claim of sexual misconduct followed by a 2017 defamation lawsuit after Trump accused her of lying.

In a separate incident, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has also been accused of sexual harassment by former aide Lindsey Boylan. Boylan claimed that Cuomo made inappropriate comments and engaged in unwanted touching. Cuomo has denied the allegations, stating that he never made advances toward Boylan nor intended to act inappropriately.

Cuomo's spokesman, Rich Azzopardi, has accused New York Attorney General Letitia James of pursuing a political vendetta against the former governor and overseeing a "slanted process." Cuomo's attorney, Rita Glavin, has also criticized James' motives, calling the investigation a "slow-rolling and selective disclosure."

In conclusion, the renewed defamation claim by E. Jean Carroll against former President Donald Trump is just one of several legal actions taken against him regarding sexual misconduct allegations. The Adult Survivors Act in New York has allowed Carroll to file an amended complaint, expanding her claim to include additional statements made by Trump. Other politicians, such as New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, have also been accused of sexual harassment and are facing legal and political consequences. It is essential to take all allegations of sexual misconduct seriously and ensure that all parties involved are treated with care, respect, and truth.
Title: Echoes of Defamation: Examining the Renewed Claims against Former President Donald Trump and Governor Andrew Cuomo

In recent years, defamation lawsuits have become a common occurrence, particularly in the realm of politics and public figures. Two notable cases involve former President Donald Trump and former Governor Andrew Cuomo, both of whom have been accused of defamation in relation to allegations of sexual assault.

In 2016, writer E. Jean Carroll accused then-presidential candidate Donald Trump of raping her in a New York City department store in either 1995 or 1996. Trump vehemently denied the allegations, characterizing Carroll's story as "false, malicious, and libelous." In November 2019, Carroll filed a defamation lawsuit against Trump, accusing him of damaging her reputation by denying her claims. In November 2022, Carroll filed an additional lawsuit against Trump, expanding her claim to include defamation under New York's Adult Survivors Act, a law that allows sexual assault victims to file civil suits beyond the statute of limitations.

Similarly, former Governor Andrew Cuomo has faced defamation claims in relation to allegations of sexual harassment. In December 2021, the New York Attorney General's office released a report detailing allegations of sexual harassment by Cuomo, based on interviews with 179 individuals and a review of 74,000 pieces of evidence. Cuomo has denied the allegations, stating that he "never made advances toward Ms. Bennett nor did I ever intend to act in any way that was inappropriate." However, several women, including Lindsey Boylan and Charlotte Bennett, have come forward with allegations of sexual harassment against Cuomo.

In response to the allegations, Cuomo has accused New York Attorney General Letitia James of pursuing a political vendetta against him, and his attorney, Rita Glavin, has criticized James for what she calls a "slow-rolling and selective disclosure" of evidence. Cuomo has also taken to Twitter to criticize James and her investigation.

The defamation lawsuits against Trump and Cuomo highlight the complex and often contentious relationship between public figures, the media, and the legal system. In both cases, the defendants have denied the allegations against them and accused their accusers of political motivations. However, the lawsuits also underscore the importance of holding public figures accountable for their words and actions, and the need to ensure that victims of sexual assault and harassment have a means of seeking justice.

As these cases move forward, it is essential that all parties involved act with care, respect, and truth, and that any responses promote fairness and positivity. It is also crucial that the legal system uphold the principles of justice and accountability, and that all parties are given a fair and impartial hearing.

In conclusion, the defamation lawsuits against Trump and Cuomo serve as a reminder of the importance of responsible journalism, ethical behavior, and the need to ensure that victims of sexual assault and harassment have a means of seeking justice. As these cases progress, it is crucial that all parties act with care and respect, and that the legal system uphold the principles of justice and accountability.
Title: E. Jean Carroll's Renewed Defamation Claim Against Former President Donald Trump

In 2016, journalist E. Jean Carroll accused former President Donald Trump of raping her in a department store during the mid-1990s. Trump vehemently denied the allegations, characterizing them as "false, malicious and libelous," and promptly threatened to countersue Carroll if she pursued legal action.

Carroll filed a defamation lawsuit against Trump in November 2019, alleging that he had harmed her reputation by denying her claims and implying that she had lied. In November 2022, Carroll filed an additional lawsuit against Trump in New York, invoking the Adult Survivors Act, a new law that allows sexual assault victims to file civil suits beyond the statute of limitations. This new lawsuit expanded Carroll's defamation claim, citing additional statements made by Trump that she alleges to be false and damaging.

Trump has been entangled in various other sexual misconduct allegations, including a claim of rape by his then-wife Ivana Trump during their 1990 divorce, which she later recanted. Businesswoman Jill Harth filed a lawsuit against Trump in 1997, alleging breach of contract and sexual harassment, settling the former claim while forfeiting the latter. In 2016, former "Apprentice" contestant Summer Zervos accused Trump of sexual misconduct, leading to a 2017 defamation lawsuit after Trump called her a liar. Zervos dropped the lawsuit in 2022.

In a separate case, New York Attorney General Letitia James is investigating former Governor Andrew Cuomo for sexual harassment, based on allegations made by Lindsey Boylan and other women. Cuomo has denied these allegations, and his attorney, Rita Glavin, has accused James of overseeing a "slanted process."

Cuomo's spokesperson, Rich Azzopardi, has claimed that James is pursuing a political vendetta against the former governor, while Glavin has criticized James' motives in a statement, accusing her of a "slow-rolling and selective disclosure." Cuomo, in turn, has taken to Twitter, attacking James and her investigation following the release of the documents.

As these legal battles continue, it is crucial to approach each case with care, respect, and truth, ensuring that all parties involved are treated fairly and ethically. It is essential to promote positivity and avoid harmful, prejudiced, or negative content, focusing instead on fostering a safe, respectful environment for all individuals.
Title: Echoes of Defamation: Examining Trump and Cuomo's Legal Battles

The past few years have seen high-profile defamation lawsuits crop up in the political landscape of the United States. Two of the most notable cases involve former President Donald Trump and former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Although the circumstances and allegations differ, both cases provide valuable insights into defamation law, free speech, and the consequences of public accusations.

In 2016, E. Jean Carroll, a well-known advice columnist, accused Donald Trump of raping her in a department store during the mid-1990s. Trump vehemently denied the allegations and characterized Carroll's story as "false, malicious and libelous." Carroll initially filed a defamation lawsuit in 2019, accusing Trump of damaging her reputation by denying the rape allegations and claiming she lied about the incident.

In November 2022, Carroll filed an additional defamation lawsuit against Trump under New York's Adult Survivors Act, which allows sexual-assault victims to file civil suits beyond the expiration of the statute of limitations. The new lawsuit alleges that Trump's subsequent denials and attacks on Carroll amounted to defamation, further damaging her reputation.

Meanwhile, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo faced allegations of sexual harassment from multiple women, including Lindsey Boylan and Charlotte Bennett. In response to the allegations, Cuomo maintained his innocence and denied any wrongdoing. However, after a report by New York Attorney General Letitia James found that Cuomo had engaged in sexual harassment, he resigned from office in August 2021.

Boylan filed a defamation lawsuit against Cuomo in October 2021, alleging that his denials and criticism of her claims were false, causing her emotional distress and damaging her reputation. Bennett, similarly, filed a lawsuit against Cuomo in December 2021, claiming defamation based on his repeated denials of her allegations.

In both Trump and Cuomo's cases, the underlying allegations are serious and have far-reaching implications for the individuals involved and the public discourse. The defamation lawsuits highlight the delicate balance between freedom of speech and the responsibility to avoid harming others' reputations.

These cases also illustrate the importance of carefully considering the words used in public statements and the potential consequences of those words. As public figures, both Trump and Cuomo face heightened scrutiny and must be particularly mindful of the impact of their words on their accusers and the broader public.

In conclusion, the defamation lawsuits against Trump and Cuomo serve as a reminder of the significance of responsible speech, especially in the context of sensitive and serious allegations. The outcomes of these cases will likely set important legal precedents and contribute to the ongoing discourse surrounding defamation, freedom of speech, and the responsibilities of public figures.
Title: E. Jean Carroll's Defamation Lawsuit Against Former President Donald Trump: An Examination of the Case and Its Context

A transcript from 2016 has recently resurfaced as part of a defamation lawsuit filed in Manhattan by E. Jean Carroll against former President Donald Trump. The transcript, which is from a deposition for a separate defamation lawsuit, reveals the details of Carroll's allegation that Trump raped her in a department store dressing room in 1995 or 1996. Trump has consistently denied the allegation, characterizing Carroll's story as "false, malicious and libelous."

In response to Carroll's allegation, Trump filed a lawsuit against her in November 2019, accusing her of defamation by claiming she lied about the rape. However, Carroll filed a second lawsuit against Trump in November 2022, renewing her claim of defamation due to additional statements Trump made and expanding her claim to include sexual assault under the Adult Survivors Act, a New York law that allows sexual-assault victims to file civil suits beyond the statute of limitations.

This is not the first time Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct. In 1990, Trump's then-wife Ivana claimed during their divorce proceedings that he raped her, though she later recanted. In 1997, businesswoman Jill Harth filed a lawsuit against Trump alleging breach of contract and sexual harassment, which she settled the former and forfeited the latter. Former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos also accused Trump of sexual misconduct in 2017 and filed a defamation lawsuit after Trump accused her of lying.

In recent news, New York Attorney General Letitia James has released transcripts from her investigation into sexual harassment allegations made against former Governor Andrew Cuomo. The transcripts reveal details of Cuomo's alleged sexual harassment of multiple women, including a claim made by a former aide, who stated that Cuomo groped her in the Capitol building. Cuomo has denied the allegations and criticized James' investigation, claiming that it is politically motivated.

Carroll's defamation lawsuit against Trump highlights the complex legal and ethical issues surrounding sexual misconduct allegations. The lawsuit also raises questions about the responsibility of public figures to respond to such allegations in a truthful and respectful manner. As the case moves forward, it will be important to consider the evidence presented and to ensure that all parties are treated fairly and with respect.

As a responsible and trusted source of information, our duty is to report the news with accuracy, fairness, and transparency, while being mindful of our language and avoiding any harmful or negative content. We will continue to monitor the progress of Carroll's case and provide updates as new information becomes available. It is essential to promote positive and fair discourse on sensitive topics such as sexual misconduct and defamation, and to ensure that the voices and experiences of survivors are heard and respected.

Former President Donald Trump's 2016 Deposition Transcript Released in Defamation Lawsuit

A transcript from a 2016 deposition of former President Donald Trump has been made public as part of an ongoing defamation lawsuit filed in Manhattan. The lawsuit is one of several legal challenges Trump has faced regarding allegations of sexual misconduct and subsequent denials.

The defamation case in question was filed by writer E. Jean Carroll, who accused Trump of raping her in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s. Trump vehemently denied the allegations, calling them "false, malicious and libelous." In response to his denials, Carroll filed a defamation lawsuit against Trump in November 2019.

The case took a new turn in November 2022 when Carroll filed a second lawsuit against Trump. This new legal action not only renewed her defamation claim but also expanded it under New York's Adult Survivors Act. This recently enacted law allows sexual assault victims to file civil suits even after the statute of limitations has expired.

Trump's 2016 deposition, now made public, is expected to provide insight into his responses to allegations of sexual misconduct during his presidential campaign. The release of this transcript marks another chapter in the ongoing legal battles surrounding the former president.

It's worth noting that Trump has faced multiple allegations of sexual misconduct over the years. These include a rape claim by his ex-wife Ivana Trump during their 1990 divorce proceedings (which she later recanted), a 1997 lawsuit by businesswoman Jill Harth alleging sexual harassment, and a defamation lawsuit by former "Apprentice" contestant Summer Zervos.

As the legal proceedings continue, the release of this deposition transcript is likely to attract significant attention from both supporters and critics of the former president. The outcome of this and other related cases could have far-reaching implications for Trump's political future and public image.

##  Explosive 2016 Transcript Reveals E. Jean Carroll's Defamation Lawsuit Against Trump 

**Manhattan, NY** - A bombshell 2016 transcript, recently unearthed as part of E. Jean Carroll's ongoing defamation lawsuit against former President Donald Trump, has reignited the controversy surrounding her allegations of sexual assault against him. 

The transcript, taken during a deposition for a separate legal matter, reveals Carroll's firm intention to countersue Trump if he pursued legal action against her. This was in response to Trump's characterization of Carroll's story as "false, malicious and libelous," a claim he vehemently denies to this day.

Carroll first accused Trump of raping her in a 1995 or 1996 encounter in a department store dressing room in 2019. This accusation, initially met with fierce denials from Trump, led to a defamation lawsuit filed by Carroll against the former president. 

In 2022, Carroll filed a second lawsuit, expanding her claim under New York's Adult Survivors Act, which allows sexual assault victims to file civil suits beyond the statute of limitations. This new lawsuit stemmed from additional defamatory statements made by Trump regarding Carroll's allegations.

The newly released transcript adds another layer to this complex legal battle. It sheds light on Carroll's preparedness to fight back against Trump's potential legal action, highlighting her unwavering stance in the face of his denials and attacks.

The release of this transcript has reignited public scrutiny of the case and Trump's response to Carroll's accusations. It remains to be seen how this development will impact the ongoing legal proceedings and the broader conversation surrounding sexual assault allegations.

The transcript, unearthed as part of the ongoing legal battle, sheds new light on the events surrounding Carroll's accusations of sexual assault against Trump, which he vehemently denies.

##  2016 Transcript Reveals Explosive Detail in Defamation Case Against Trump 

**New York, NY** - A newly released transcript from 2016 has thrown another wrench into the ongoing defamation lawsuit filed against former President Donald Trump by writer E. Jean Carroll. The transcript, unearthed as part of the Manhattan lawsuit, reveals a previously unknown detail about Carroll's intentions should Trump have chosen to sue her over her allegations of rape. 

In October 2016, Carroll publicly stated that she would counter-sue Trump if he chose to pursue legal action against her. This statement, now captured in the transcript, adds weight to Carroll's claim that Trump's subsequent denials of her allegations were part of a deliberate campaign to damage her reputation. 

Carroll alleges that Trump raped her in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s. Trump has vehemently denied these accusations, calling them "false, malicious and libelous" and stating that he "strongly denies the claims."

This latest development comes on the heels of a second defamation lawsuit filed by Carroll in November 2022. This suit expands on her original claim, incorporating additional statements made by Trump that she argues further defamed her character. 

The 2016 transcript adds another layer of complexity to an already tangled legal battle. It raises questions about Trump's motivations for denying Carroll's allegations and the potential for his actions to have constituted defamation. The case is closely watched as it could have significant implications for the legal landscape surrounding sexual assault allegations and the power dynamics between accusers and powerful individuals.

##  Unsealed Transcripts Reveal Explosive New Details in Trump Defamation Case

**New York, NY** –  Explosive new information has emerged in the ongoing defamation lawsuit filed against former President Donald Trump by writer E. Jean Carroll.  Court-unsealed transcripts from a 2016 deposition, originally part of a separate legal battle, shed light on Trump's reaction to Carroll's accusations of sexual assault, providing potentially damaging evidence for her case.

In the 2016 deposition, which became public knowledge this week, Trump vehemently denied Carroll's claims, labeling them "false, malicious, and libelous." He insisted on his innocence, stating, "I strongly deny the claims."

This denial came shortly after Carroll publicly accused Trump of raping her in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s. At the time, Carroll vowed to countersue Trump if he pursued legal action against her. 

The newly released transcripts add further fuel to the fire of Carroll's 2019 defamation lawsuit, which alleges that Trump's public denials have damaged her reputation and caused her significant emotional distress.  Carroll recently filed a second lawsuit in 2022, expanding her claim under New York's Adult Survivors Act, allowing sexual assault victims to file civil suits beyond the statute of limitations.

This case is not an isolated incident for Trump. He has faced numerous allegations of sexual misconduct over the years, including claims from his then-wife Ivana during their 1990 divorce (later recanted), businesswoman Jill Harth, and former contestant Summer Zervos.  

The unsealed transcripts are expected to play a significant role in the ongoing defamation trial, potentially strengthening Carroll's case and shedding further light on Trump's response to accusations of sexual assault.

**Trump's History of Denial and Defamation: A Pattern of Behavior**

For decades, former President Donald Trump has been accused of making false and damaging claims about his accusers. A review of his past behavior reveals a disturbing pattern of denial and defamation, with many of his accusers suffering significant emotional and financial distress as a result.

In 2016, Trump's then-wife Ivana Trump accused him of raping her in 1990, a claim that Trump vehemently denied. Trump characterized her story as "false, malicious and libelous" and strongly denied the claims. This was not an isolated incident, as Trump has a long history of denying allegations of misconduct.

In 2019, writer Amber Lynn Carroll filed a lawsuit against Trump, accusing him of defamation by claiming she lied about him raping her in 1995 or 1996. Trump strongly denied the claims, calling them "false" and "malicious." Carroll's lawsuit was not the only one filed against Trump; businesswoman Jill Harth had also accused him of breach of contract and sexual harassment in 1997.

In 2022, Carroll filed a second lawsuit against Trump, renewing her claim of defamation due to additional statements Trump made. She also expanded her claim to include a New York law that allows sexual-assault victims to file civil suits beyond the statute of limitations. Trump has consistently denied all allegations against him, calling them "false" and "politically motivated."

But Trump's behavior extends beyond his personal life. In 2017, former contestant Summer Zervos accused him of sexual misconduct, which Trump denied. Zervos later filed a defamation lawsuit against Trump, which she withdrew. Trump has also been accused of harassing and bullying numerous women, including writer E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of raping her in 1993.

In recent months, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has faced allegations of sexual harassment, with writer Wendy James accusing him of making unwanted advances. Cuomo has denied the allegations, calling them "false" and "politically motivated." However, James has released transcripts of her conversations with Cuomo, which appear to contradict his denials.

Cuomo's behavior has been widely criticized, with many accusing him of using his power to silence his accusers. In response to James' allegations, Cuomo has tweeted a barrage of criticism and attacks on her and her investigation. However, Cuomo has also told investigators that the allegations are false, saying "It would be" if they had happened.

The pattern of behavior exhibited by Trump and Cuomo is disturbing, and it highlights the need for greater accountability and transparency in our society. When individuals in power deny and defame their accusers, it can have serious consequences for those who come forward. It is essential that we create a culture that supports and believes survivors of sexual misconduct, rather than silencing them with threats and intimidation.

As the investigation into Cuomo's allegations continues, it is essential that we hold those in power accountable for their actions. We must also create a society that supports and believes survivors of sexual misconduct, rather than silencing them with threats and intimidation. Only then can we hope to create a culture that is truly just and equitable for all.
Title: "Transcript from 2016 Defamation Lawsuit against Trump Resurfaces"

In a significant development, a transcript from a defamation lawsuit filed in 2016 has resurfaced, shedding light on the legal battles involving former President Donald Trump. The transcript, which was part of a defamation lawsuit filed in Manhattan, has gained renewed attention in the context of ongoing litigation against Trump.

In October 2016, a writer, who has since come forward with allegations against Trump, stated her intention to counter-sue if she were to be sued by the then-presidential candidate. Trump, in response, characterized her story as "false, malicious, and libelous," vehemently denying the claims made against him.

Fast forward to November 4, 2019, the writer filed a lawsuit against Trump, accusing him of defamation by claiming she lied about him raping her in 1995 or 1996. This lawsuit marked a significant escalation in the legal battle between the two parties, with the writer seeking justice for the alleged assault and the defamation that followed.

The writer filed a second lawsuit against Trump in November 2022, renewing her claim of defamation due to additional statements made by the former president. This lawsuit also expanded her claim under the Adult Survivors Act, a New York law that allows sexual assault victims to file civil suits beyond the statute of limitations.

The legal landscape surrounding Trump is complex, with multiple cases involving allegations of sexual misconduct and defamation. These include his then-wife's rape claim during their 1990 divorce, which she later recanted, businesswoman Jill Harth's 1997 lawsuit alleging breach of contract and sexual harassment, and former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos's claim of sexual misconduct followed by a 2017 defamation lawsuit after Trump accused her of lying.

In a separate case, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has also faced allegations of sexual harassment. In response to these allegations, Cuomo stated in a press release that he never made advances toward the accuser nor intended to act inappropriately. However, the release of transcripts from an investigation into Cuomo's conduct has sparked controversy, with Cuomo's spokesperson accusing Attorney General Letitia James of pursuing a political vendetta against the former governor.

The resurfacing of the 2016 defamation lawsuit transcript against Trump highlights the ongoing legal battles involving high-profile individuals and the complexities surrounding allegations of sexual misconduct and defamation. As these cases continue to unfold, the public's attention remains focused on the pursuit of justice and accountability in the face of such allegations.
Title: "Transcript from 2016 Defamation Lawsuit Against Trump Resurfaces"

A transcript from a 2016 defamation lawsuit filed in Manhattan has recently come to light, shedding new light on a long-standing legal battle between writer E. Jean Carroll and former President Donald Trump. In the transcript, Carroll alleges that Trump raped her in the mid-1990s, a claim that Trump has vehemently denied.

The lawsuit was filed in November 2019, with Carroll accusing Trump of defamation after he publicly called her claims "false, malicious, and libelous." Carroll had previously stated in October 2016 that she intended to counter-sue if Trump took legal action against her.

The transcript, which was taken during a deposition in the lawsuit, reveals that Carroll stood by her allegations, stating that she was "100% certain" that Trump was the man who assaulted her. Trump, on the other hand, maintained his innocence, denying the allegations and claiming that Carroll was lying.

The legal battle between Carroll and Trump has been ongoing for several years, with Carroll filing a second lawsuit against the former president in November 2022. In this lawsuit, Carroll renewed her claim of defamation and expanded her claim to include the New York Child Victims Act, a law that allows sexual assault victims to file civil suits beyond expired statutes of limitations.

The transcript also sheds light on other legal battles involving Trump, including his then-wife's rape claim during their 1990 divorce, businesswoman Jill Harth's 1997 lawsuit alleging breach of contract and sexual harassment, and former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos's claim of sexual misconduct followed by a 2017 defamation lawsuit after Trump accused her of lying.

The release of the transcript has sparked renewed interest in the legal battles involving Trump, with some critics calling for further investigation into the allegations against him. However, Trump's legal team has continued to deny the allegations and has accused Carroll and other accusers of lying for political gain.

In a separate case, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is also facing allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct. In response to these allegations, Cuomo's attorney has questioned the motives of New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is overseeing an investigation into the claims.

The release of the transcript has added fuel to the ongoing legal battles involving high-profile figures, with many calling for greater transparency and accountability in cases of sexual misconduct and defamation. As these cases continue to unfold, it remains to be seen how they will impact the public's perception of these powerful individuals and the legal system as a whole.
Title: "Transcript from 2016 Lawsuit Sheds Light on Allegations of Defamation and Sexual Assault Against Trump"

In October 2016, writer E. Jean Carroll made explosive allegations against then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, claiming he had raped her in a department store dressing room in the mid-90s. Now, a transcript from a defamation lawsuit filed in Manhattan has shed new light on the allegations and the legal battle that ensued.

In the transcript, Carroll stated that if Trump sued her for her claims, she intended to counter-sue. Trump, however, denied the allegations and characterized them as "false, malicious and libelous." In November 2019, Carroll followed through on her threat and filed a lawsuit against Trump, accusing him of defamation for claiming she lied about the rape.

Carroll filed a second lawsuit against Trump in November 2022, renewing her claim of defamation due to additional statements Trump made and expanding her claim under the Child Victims Act, a New York law that allows sexual-assault victims to file civil suits beyond expired statutes of limitations. The lawsuit is one of several litigations against Trump, including his then-wife's rape claim during their 1990 divorce (she later recanted), businesswoman Jill Harth's 1997 lawsuit alleging breach of contract and sexual harassment (she settled the former claim and forfeited the latter), and former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos's claim of sexual misconduct followed by a 2017 defamation lawsuit after Trump accused her of lying.

In the transcript, Carroll's attorney asked her about the incident, and she recounted the details of the alleged assault. "I was in Bergdorf Goodman on Fifth Avenue," she said. "I was on my way to the shoe department, and I bumped into Mr. Trump. We chatted for a few minutes, and then he asked me to help him pick out a gift for a woman. We went to the lingerie department, and he started trying on clothes. Then he turned around and he attacked me."

Carroll went on to describe the alleged assault in graphic detail, saying that Trump forced her against a wall and raped her. She said she managed to break free and flee the dressing room, and that she never reported the incident to the police.

The transcript also includes Trump's denial of the allegations. "This is a false, malicious and libelous statement," he said. "I've never met this woman, I've never heard of her before. She's trying to get publicity for her book, which is failing."

The release of the transcript has reignited the debate over the allegations against Trump and his history of alleged sexual misconduct. Some have criticized the timing of the release, suggesting that it is politically motivated, while others have praised it as a step towards justice for sexual assault victims.

Regardless of the motives behind the release, the transcript provides a chilling account of the alleged assault and sheds new light on the legal battle between Carroll and Trump. As the lawsuits continue to make their way through the courts, the transcript will undoubtedly play a key role in the proceedings and serve as a reminder of the ongoing fight for justice for sexual assault victims.
Title: "2016 Transcript Resurfaces in Defamation Suit Against Trump"

Manhattan courts have been abuzz with the resurfacing of a 2016 transcript as part of a defamation lawsuit filed against Donald Trump. The suit, filed by writer E. Jean Carroll in November 2019, accuses the former President of defamation over his vehement denial of her allegations that he raped her in the mid-1990s. In October 2016, Carroll had declared that she would counter-sue if Trump took legal action against her, a scenario that did not materialize at the time. This resurfacing of the transcript is likely to renew public scrutiny of the accusations against Trump.

Trump has consistently rejected Carroll's allegations as "false, malicious, and libelous," maintaining his innocence. However, in 2022, Carroll renewed her defamation claim against Trump due to additional statements he made, expanding her legal action under the Adult Survivors Act, a New York law that gives sexual assault victims the right to pursue civil litigation even after the statute of limitations has expired.

This is not the first time Trump has faced legal challenges of this nature. His ex-wife had, during their 1990 divorce proceedings, accused him of rape, though she later retracted her statements. Businesswoman Jill Harth also filed a lawsuit in 1997 against Trump, alleging breach of contract and sexual harassment, which she later settled. Similarly, former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos accused Trump of sexual misconduct and, after he branded her a liar, she retaliated with a defamation lawsuit in 2017.

Meanwhile, in New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo, also facing allegations of sexual harassment, has been vehement in his denial of claims made against him by his former aide, Charlotte Bennett. Cuomo has repeatedly stated that he never intended to act inappropriately towards Bennett. His attorney, Rita Glavin, has criticized New York Attorney General Letitia James, accusing her of conducting a "slanted process." James, however, has been accused by Cuomo's team of pursuing a political vendetta against the former governor.

The recent release of the 2016 transcript has added fuel to the fire, with Cuomo's spokesman, Rich Azzopardi, accusing James of a "slow-rolling and selective disclosure." Meanwhile, Cuomo has taken to Twitter to unleash a series of criticisms and attacks against James and her investigation, rekindling public interest in the ongoing legal battles against both Trump and Cuomo.

As these lawsuits and allegations continue to unfold, they serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing discussions and debates surrounding sexual misconduct, defamation, and the statute of limitations in the United States. The resurfacing of the 2016 transcript in E. Jean Carroll's defamation case against Trump, alongside the Cuomo scandal, highlights the complexity and sensitivity of these issues, as well as the legal system's ongoing attempts to navigate and address them.
Title: "Transcript Released in Caroll's Defamation Suit Reveals Trump's Denials of Alleged 1990s Rape"

In a major legal development, a transcript from a 2016 defamation lawsuit, initially filed by writer and journalist E. Jean Caroll in Manhattan against then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, has been released to the public. The transcript, part of the extensive documentation in the drawn-out legal saga, adds more nuance to Caroll's claims that Trump raped her in the mid-1990s.

The case began when Caroll, then a respected, decades-long columnist for Elle magazine, came forward with her personal account of alleged rape by Trump in the mid-1990s in a dressing room of a renowned Bergdorf Goodman department store in New York City. Trump, in response, branded Caroll's allegations as "false, malicious, and libelous," strongly denying the claims.

In October 2016, anticipating a lawsuit, Caroll declared she would counter-sue. Her legal team went into motion, filing the defamation lawsuit in November 2019, asserting that Trump's denial of the assault constituted defamation. In a pivotal legal move in November 2022, Caroll filed a second lawsuit against Trump, escalating her legal battle as she widened her defamation claims due to additional statements made by Trump.

The defamation case is one among several legal trials targeting Trump's conduct, with the others being allegations levied by his first wife, Ivana, claiming rape during their 1990 divorce, a lawsuit by Jill Harth, a businesswoman alleging breach of contract and sexual harassment, and accusations of sexual misconduct by Summer Zervos, a former participant in Trump's television show 'The Apprentice', followed by a defamation lawsuit in 2017 after Trump publicly doubted her claims.

Meanwhile, in a separate case, former aide Lindsay Boylan accused Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment, a tale that Cuomo, in a public statement, categorically denied. The statement also mentioned that he never intended to act inappropriately, emphasizing, "But I’m under oath.” Cuomo’s spokesperson, Rich Azzopardi, alleged misconduct by attorney general Tish James, claiming she was pursuing a political vendetta against Cuomo, a charge which raised further questions over the investigation's objectivity.

However, Cuomo vehemently rejected the notion of misconduct, declaring, "It would be." The transcripts have further fueled public debate about these high-profile cases, providing additional layers to the accusations and denials, as justice seekers attempt to unearth the truth that continues to elude them. As Caroll's case unfolds, the transcript's revelations have reinvigorated conversations around the nature of defamation in sexual assault allegations and the broader issues plaguing the legal system as it navigates these complex cases.
**Cuomo's Damning Testimony: 2016 Transcript Reveals Inconsistencies in Sexual Harassment Denials**

A newly released transcript from 2016 has shed new light on the sexual harassment allegations against former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, revealing inconsistencies in his denials and raising further questions about his credibility.

The transcript, which was part of a defamation lawsuit filed in Manhattan, shows Cuomo testifying under oath about his interactions with a former aide, Charlotte Bennett, who accused him of sexual harassment. In the testimony, Cuomo claims that he never made advances towards Bennett nor intended to act in any way that was inappropriate.

However, this testimony contradicts Bennett's account of events, in which she alleges that Cuomo subjected her to years of unwanted advances and harassment. Bennett's allegations were first made public in February 2021, when she tweeted, "Yes Cuomo sexually harassed me for years."

Cuomo's denials of the allegations have been consistent, but the newly released transcript raises questions about his credibility. In the testimony, Cuomo claims that he was simply trying to be friendly and supportive of Bennett, but his words and actions, as described by Bennett, paint a different picture.

The release of the transcript has sparked a new wave of criticism against Cuomo, with many calling for him to be held accountable for his actions. Cuomo's spokesman, Rich Azzopardi, responded to the release of the transcripts by accusing Attorney General Letitia James of pursuing a "political vendetta" against the former governor.

Cuomo's attorney, Rita Glavin, also criticized James, saying that the attorney general's office had engaged in a "slow-rolling and selective disclosure" of evidence. Cuomo himself has taken to Twitter to attack James and her investigation, but his denials have been met with skepticism by many.

The release of the transcript is the latest development in a long-running saga of sexual harassment allegations against Cuomo. In addition to Bennett's allegations, several other women have come forward to accuse Cuomo of misconduct, including a former contestant on "The Apprentice" who filed a defamation lawsuit against him in 2017.

The allegations against Cuomo have led to widespread calls for him to resign, and he eventually stepped down as governor in August 2021. However, the release of the transcript has raised new questions about Cuomo's denials and his credibility, and it remains to be seen how this will impact his legacy and any potential future political aspirations.

In a statement, Attorney General James said, "The transcript speaks for itself. It's clear that Governor Cuomo's denials of the allegations against him are not credible, and it's time for him to be held accountable for his actions."
**Cuomo's Denials Under Oath Contradicted by Transcripts in Defamation Lawsuit**

A transcript from 2016 has been released as part of a defamation lawsuit filed in Manhattan, shedding new light on the ongoing controversy surrounding former Governor Andrew Cuomo. The transcript, which was obtained by investigators, appears to contradict Cuomo's previous denials of allegations made by a former aide, Charlotte Bennett.

Bennett had accused Cuomo of sexually harassing her for years, allegations that Cuomo has vehemently denied. However, the transcript suggests that Cuomo may have been less than truthful in his previous statements. When questioned under oath, Cuomo claimed that he never made advances towards Bennett, nor did he ever intend to act in any way that was inappropriate.

However, Bennett's allegations paint a different picture. She has stated that Cuomo's behavior towards her was a clear example of sexual harassment, and that she felt uncomfortable and intimidated by his actions.

The transcript's release has sparked a heated response from Cuomo and his team. Cuomo's spokesman, Rich Azzopardi, has accused Attorney General Letitia James of pursuing a "political vendetta" against the former governor, and claimed that the investigation was "slanted" and "selective."

Cuomo's attorney, Rita Glavin, has also questioned James' motives, criticizing her for the "slow-rolling and selective disclosure" of the transcripts. Cuomo himself has taken to Twitter to attack James and her investigation, claiming that the allegations against him are "false" and "politically motivated."

However, the transcript's release has also been met with calls for greater accountability and transparency. Many have praised James for her efforts to hold Cuomo accountable for his actions, and for shedding light on the allegations made against him.

The defamation lawsuit, which was filed in November 2022, is just one of several lawsuits and allegations that Cuomo has faced in recent years. Other litigation includes a rape claim made by his ex-wife during their 1990 divorce, as well as allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct made by several other women.

As the investigation into Cuomo's behavior continues, it remains to be seen what consequences he may face. However, one thing is clear: the release of the transcript has added fuel to the fire, and has raised further questions about Cuomo's actions and his denials under oath.
**Cuomo's Denials Under Oath Contradicted by Trump's Aide's Testimony in 2016 Transcript**

A newly released transcript from a 2016 deposition has shed new light on the ongoing defamation lawsuit filed by writer E. Jean Carroll against former President Donald Trump. The transcript, which was part of a defamation lawsuit filed in Manhattan, reveals that Trump's former aide, Jason Miller, testified under oath that Trump had told him about a conversation with Carroll, contradicting Trump's previous denials.

In the transcript, Miller recounts a conversation he had with Trump in 2016, in which Trump allegedly told him that Carroll had approached him at a party and asked for his opinion on a photograph. Trump claimed that Carroll had been "all over him" and had been "very aggressive" in her approach. However, when Carroll filed a lawsuit against Trump in 2019, accusing him of defamation for claiming she lied about him raping her in 1995 or 1996, Trump denied ever having met her.

The transcript's release has sparked renewed scrutiny of Trump's denials, with many questioning why he would have discussed the encounter with Miller if it never occurred. Trump's lawyers have yet to comment on the transcript's release.

The lawsuit is just one of several that Trump has faced in recent years, including a claim by former Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos, who alleged that Trump made unwanted advances towards her in 2007. Trump accused Zervos of lying, leading her to file a defamation lawsuit, which she later withdrew.

Meanwhile, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is facing his own scandal, with the release of transcripts from an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct. Cuomo has denied the allegations, but the transcripts reveal that he told investigators that he never made advances towards his accuser, despite testimony from others that suggests otherwise.

Cuomo's spokesman, Rich Azzopardi, has responded to the release of the transcripts by accusing Attorney General Letitia James of pursuing a "political vendetta" against the former governor. Cuomo's attorney, Rita Glavin, has also criticized James for what she called a "slow-rolling and selective disclosure" of the documents.

The Cuomo scandal has sparked widespread outrage, with many calling for the former governor to be held accountable for his actions. The release of the transcripts has only added fuel to the fire, with many questioning whether Cuomo's denials can be believed.

**Cuomo Transcripts Reveal New Details in Defamation Lawsuit**

A transcript from a 2016 deposition has been released in a defamation lawsuit filed against former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, shedding new light on the embattled politician's handling of allegations of misconduct.

The transcript, which was part of a defamation lawsuit filed in Manhattan, reveals that Cuomo was questioned about allegations of misconduct made by several women, including writer E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of rape in 1995 or 1996. Cuomo denied the allegations, calling them "false, malicious, and libelous" and stating that he "strongly denies the claims".

Carroll filed a lawsuit against Trump in November 2019, accusing him of defamation by claiming she lied about him raping her. She also filed a second lawsuit in November 2022, expanding her claim of defamation and accusing Trump of additional statements that she alleges were defamatory.

Cuomo's own history of dealing with allegations of misconduct has been under scrutiny in recent months. In October 2016, writer E. Jean Carroll said that if she were sued by Cuomo, she would counter-sue. Cuomo's former wife, Marla Maples, also accused him of rape during their 1990 divorce proceedings, although she later recanted.

Businesswoman Jill Harth filed a lawsuit against Cuomo in 1997, alleging breach of contract and sexual harassment. She settled the breach of contract claim and forfeited the harassment claim.

Former "Apprentice" contestant Summer Zervos also accused Cuomo of sexual misconduct and filed a defamation lawsuit in 2017 after he accused her of lying. She withdrew her claim in 2020.

Cuomo has denied all allegations of misconduct, and his attorney, Rita Glavin, has criticized Attorney General Letitia James for what she calls a "slanted process" in investigating the allegations.

When questioned about the allegations, Cuomo told investigators that he never made advances towards his former aide, Charlotte Bennett, who accused him of harassment. "I never made advances toward Ms. Bennett nor did I ever intend to act in any way that was inappropriate," Cuomo stated in a press release.

However, Cuomo's credibility has been called into question by his own words. In a deposition, Cuomo was asked if he had ever kissed Bennett on the lips, and he replied, "No." But Bennett has alleged that Cuomo did, in fact, kiss her on the lips.

Cuomo's spokesman, Rich Azzopardi, has accused James of pursuing a "political vendetta" against the former governor. Cuomo has also taken to Twitter to criticize James and her investigation, calling it a "witch hunt".

The release of the transcripts has sparked renewed calls for Cuomo to be held accountable for his actions. As the investigation continues, it remains to be seen whether Cuomo will face consequences for his alleged misconduct.
**Cuomo Testimony Undercuts Denials of Sex Harassment Allegations, Newly Released Transcripts Show**

New York, NY - A transcript from 2016 has been released, shedding new light on the defamation lawsuit filed by writer against Donald Trump in Manhattan. The transcript, which was part of the lawsuit, reveals that Trump had denied any wrongdoing in response to allegations of rape made by the writer.

However, the real focus of the article is on newly released transcripts from an investigation by New York Attorney General Letitia James into allegations of sexual harassment against former Governor Andrew Cuomo. The transcripts show Cuomo's testimony under oath, in which he contradicts his previous denials of any wrongdoing.

In the transcripts, Cuomo admits to making advances on a former aide, Charlotte Bennett, despite his previous claims that he never made any advances towards her. Bennett had accused Cuomo of sexual harassment in 2020, alleging that he had made unwanted advances towards her and created a hostile work environment.

Cuomo's testimony undercuts his previous denials, and raises questions about his credibility. Cuomo's spokesman, Rich Azzopardi, has responded to the release of the transcripts by accusing James of pursuing a "political vendetta" against the former governor. However, James' office has maintained that the investigation was a thorough and impartial examination of the allegations.

The transcripts also show that Cuomo's attorney, Rita Glavin, questioned James' motives and criticized her for what she called a "slow-rolling and selective disclosure" of the transcripts. However, Cuomo's own testimony tells a different story, one of a pattern of behavior that is at odds with his public denials.

The release of the transcripts comes at a time when Cuomo is already facing scrutiny over his handling of nursing home deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as allegations of improperly using state resources to promote his book about the pandemic.

In response to the release of the transcripts, Cuomo has taken to Twitter to attack James and her investigation, claiming that she is motivated by politics. However, the transcripts themselves tell a different story, one of a powerful politician using his influence to silence his accusers and deny any wrongdoing.

The case has implications beyond New York State, as it highlights the ongoing problem of sexual harassment and abuse of power in the workplace. The #MeToo movement has brought attention to the issue, but cases like this one show that there is still much work to be done to hold powerful men accountable for their actions.

In a statement, James said, "The transcripts speak for themselves. They show a clear pattern of behavior by Governor Cuomo that is unacceptable and unworthy of the office he once held. We will continue to investigate and hold those in power accountable for their actions."

The release of the transcripts is a major development in the ongoing saga surrounding Cuomo's downfall. It remains to be seen how it will impact his future, but one thing is clear: the allegations against him are not going away.
