E. Jean Carroll's lawyer attacks Trump in new court docs over his massive flub [View all]

An unsealed court filing revealed that twice Donald Trump mixed up his ex-wife Marla Maples with E. Jean Carroll, who is alleging he raped her and has since defamed her.

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow requested that the documents be unsealed, "Law & Crime" revealed on Tuesday. In the past, Trump alleged that he couldn't have raped Carroll because she was "not my type." He claimed Carroll was "too ugly to rape." But court documents indicate that he couldn't tell the difference between Carroll and his wife in the mid-1990s.

“When confronted with the photo of Carroll and himself from a party before the rape, Trump twice misidentified Carroll as his ex-wife Marla Maples, insisting it was Maples smiling at him in the photo, when in fact the woman he was pointing to was Carroll herself,” Carroll's lawyer said, according to the documents.

“That’s Marla, yeah,” Trump said. “That’s my wife.”

“Which woman are you pointing to?” asked the lawyer.

Trump attorney Alina Habba prompted her client, “No, that’s Carroll.”

“Oh, I see,” Trump claimed.
