He said he had been “falsely accused” and that he was cutting short his trip to Scotland and Ireland to go back to New York, claiming he was being targeted because he was a “famous, rich and political person that’s leading the polls by 40 points”.
“I have to go back for a woman that made a false accusation about me and I have a judge who’s extremely hostile.
I’m going to go back, and I’m going to confront this woman, this woman is a disgrace and it shouldn’t be allowed to happen in our country,” he told journalists as he began his round of golf in Doonbeg.
“I’ll be going back early because a woman made a claim that’s totally false, it was fake, she’s a fake, she wrote a book, she’s a Democrat,” he said, targeting his accuser, writer E Jean Carroll.
“I have no idea who she is, it’s ridiculous. She made a claim, she wrote a book, she made a claim.” He made repeated references to a coat which he said his legal team had accepted could be used in evidence, but suggested then that it had not been produced.
