Trump was deposed for a rape and defamation lawsuit brought by Carroll.

Former President Donald Trump told a female lawyer unprompted that he would never be interested in her while she was questioning him in a deposition.

The 48-minute video of the deposition was shown to jurors in court this week as part of the rape and defamation lawsuit brought by E. Jean Carroll.

In the video, Trump denied raping Carroll and repeated his claim that she is not his "type."

"I say this with as much respect as I can, she's not my type," Trump said. "Not my type in any way, shape, or form."

Trump then turned to Carroll's attorney Roberta Kaplan, who was questioning him, to inform her that she, too, was not his type.

"You would not be my choice of mine either, to be honest with you," Trump said. "I hope you're not insulted. I would not under any circumstances have any interest in you. I'm honest when I say it."

Despite insisting that he would never be attracted to Carroll, the former president, at one point in the deposition, confused her with his ex-wife Marla Maples.

When he was shown a photo of him meeting Carroll at an event in 1987, he pointed at her and said: "That's Marla, yeah. That's my wife."

Carroll submitted the photo in the lawsuit to prove that she had met Trump, as the former president had denied ever meeting her and has called her a "liar" and "mentally sick."

Carroll, a former columnist at Elle magazine, had alleged that Trump raped her in the dressing room of the Bergdorf Goodman department store in Manhattan in 1996.
