A video deposition of former President Donald Trump shows him mixing up former wife Marla Maples with rape accuser E. Jean Carroll — clutching a photo of her and asserting “That’s my wife.”
The mistaken identity slip came during the 48-minute video made public Friday in Carroll’s ongoing civil rape trial and were made up of clips of the 45th president’s deposition testimony from Oct. 19, 2022, and shown to a Manhattan federal jury Wednesday and Thursday.

Instead of “clutching” and “asserting”, he should have been “holding” and “saying”.
The former are things only clearly guilty people do.
So what your point Prissy? Does this titillate you? A lot of other “media” walkers have already regurgitated this story many times.
Priscilla Derogatory: enough said…
They probably chose a photo that closely resembled another. They may have even doctored it just to get this reaction.
There is no reason whatsoever that we should take at face value anything the state says against Trump.
Actually, at this point there would be something wrong with us if we DID believe anything we were told by the state.
Look at the difference in the stature/reserve of Trump's wife and the big mouthed twit.
He would never tolerate at insolent little b**** like "E". Definitely not his type.
"E" also said someone else raped her and husband tried to strangle her 3 times. Obviously he should have taken "Strangling 101".
No he didnt. He pointed to his wife at the time and said that’s Marla.
If someone falsely accused me of rape, I would be furious, and I would countersue.
“No he didnt. He pointed to his wife at the time and said that’s Marla.”
You are saying he pointed to Ivana and said that’s Marla? So just a Biden-like moment?
Probably the mixup has to do with the FACT that the rape accusation is nothing but delusional TDS bull****.
You like that picture by the Ruppert Murdoch/PaulRyan/RonDeSantis Post?
The statute of limitations had long past. Hochul created a brand new “temporary” law saying the statute of limitations will not apply for a period of one year. She signed it into law and E. filed her suit on the same day.
With just a glance at the photo, after all the decades between seeing Marla, she does look like his former wife.
The picture is in the article, Trump is seen from the back facing a woman, only her face and some of her hair is seen. Notably, there is also a second woman in that same picture, closer to the camera who is likely his ex wife (I don't know her by sight). In the same damned picture.
Trump probably wasn't paying close attention to the deposition, maybe it was late into a ling session, saw her, in a picture he was handed and asked to identify the woman in the picture, and responded thinking that his ex wife, who is closer to the camera was the woman he was asked to identify.
Unfortunately, Trump is so conditioned to never admitting even a minor mistake, he tries to play it off as a blurry picture rather than saying "I thought you were talking about this other woman who is also in the picture".
If this is the line of attack against Trump, he's going to lose because he's probably stuck with a hand picked hostile jury. Then, every news story for the rest of his life will lead with confusing language about how he was convicted of rape and the Trump haters won't care one bit that it isn't even remotely true, they only care that something stuck.
He wasn’t pointing at the accuser and calling her his wife. And yes I thought it looked like Ivana in the picture but Trump said Marla.
But he said she was not his type?
Right, just saying, whoever he was pointing at, it wasn’t Marla.
