Donald Trump appeared to mistake E Jean Carroll for his ex-wife Marla Maples in a deposition played for jurors in Ms Carroll's civil rape suit against him, Ednews informs via CNN.
In the video, Mr Trump was shown a photo of himself speaking to other people at an event. "It's Marla," he says, before his lawyer corrects him.
"No, that's Carroll," the lawyer says.
Ms Carroll, 79, has accused Mr Trump, 76, of attacking her in a New York City department store in the mid-1990s, an allegation Mr Trump has denied.
Lawyers for Ms Carroll have argued that Mr Trump's confusion over the photo undermines his claim that Ms Carroll is "not my type", a comment he has repeated since she first came forward with the allegation in 2019.
Mr Trump has not yet attended the civil trial, now drawing to a close after two weeks of proceedings in Manhattan. Both sides rested their case on Thursday, though Mr Trump's team called no witnesses in his defence.
He had told reporters he might cut his ongoing golf trip to Ireland short to "confront" Ms Carroll in court.
"I'll be going back early because a woman made a claim that is totally false, it's fake," Mr Trump said.
