The former president spent more than 43 minutes in front of cameras attacking the accuser, witnesses and even his own attorneys involved in the defamation and sexual abuse lawsuit that he lost last year in civil court and has just appealed. The civil suit is probably no. It was brought by author Jean Carroll. The jury awarded her $5 million. Now, among those he attacked on Friday was a woman named Jessica Leeds, a witness in Carroll's suit who has accused Trump of groping her on a flight in the 1970s. Trump on Friday once again denied the accusation and said this. Frankly, I know you're going to say it's a terrible thing to say, but it couldn't have happened. It didn't happen. And she would not have been the chosen one. She would not have been the chosen one today. Jessica Leeds responded in her own appearance outside Trump Tower. I'm here today to tell my story yet again because I believe it's important to remind the voters of Trump's disrespect. He insulted me 50 years ago and continues to attack me today. And Jessica Leeds joins me now. Thanks for being with us. Obviously, this is not the first time that Trump has denied the accusations, insulting to you along the way. Were you surprised that he brought this up again less than a few months before the election? Yes, I was surprised once again to hear my name coming out of his mouth, right? Yes. Did you know he said of you? He said, you know, that it didn't happen. It couldn't have happened. It didn't happen and that you would not have been the chosen one. And he repeated that you would not have been the chosen one. When you heard that, what did you think? I laughed out loud. I couldn't believe that he was using that word like some sort of cult figure. I personally believe he has convinced himself that it didn't happen. He is a a a predator of women. I was not the first. Of course, I was not the last. But there have been enough so that he doesn't remember. You had said that. I mean, initially. I mean, what you have said all along is that he groped you on this flight. I just you were sitting on the on this flight next to him. I out of the blue and that later on, you actually ran into him again. I think it was a charity event. You were kind of at a booth with a tables. And he you say he recognized you and used a very derogatory term. I mean, he you say he wrecked, he saw you and he said to you, like you're that lady from an airplane. Yeah. That's what kind of. No. The violence of the of the attack was I would never forget that. But that was quite a experience because it was in the middle of a gathering of people all dressed up tuxedos, lovely ball gowns. There was a designers like a charity event. It was a charity event. Bobby Shaw was playing. It was. It was a New York scene. Incomes Trump with his wife. And I recognize I saw him. I recognized him from newspapers and whatnot before. And I'm thinking, Oh, you jerk. And I remember putting his number ticket number out towards him. And he looked me straight in the eye and he says, I remember you now. Now he doesn't remember. That was, what, 50 years ago? And I can understand, as I said, that he, in his own mind all of these events, because he doesn't want to own up to them, have just kind of merged into one of the things he said on Friday, he said. Now, I assume she'll sue me for defamation like I got sued by Jean Carroll. Are you considering filing a lawsuit? The technical term is we're leaving all of our options open. But no, my my goal in when I was asked to testify at Jean's trial was to establish that this is his behavior longstanding and I have nothing to gain from it. So he didn't attend that trial. He wasn't there when you testified. Do you think that was a mistake? Again, no, I don't think it was a mistake. Do you think it was a sign of of him Just I mean, how did you interpret him not being there? Well, he's he's he's got problems in terms of he likes to be known as a ladies man. He wants he likes to have attractive women around him. And the main reason that he keeps saying I'm not is type or the chosen one is because he can't recognize that this 82 year old lady was pretty enough in 1997. In 1979. That's what and that's why I gave the Times. I knew that then years ago. That's why I gave them a picture of what I looked like at that point because because he can't he can't see himself. He doesn't recognize in self as getting old. But he's getting old. Do you do you think about this a lot? I mean, does this still hurt you? I was like, most people who have tragedy happen in life, you you compartmentalize, you. You put it away. You put it someplace where it's not going to stop you from living your life. I really didn't think much about it until 2015 when I realized these seriously. Was running for president. So I literally started telling everybody who would listen to me. The people at work, the kids at work, the my neighbors, my family, my poor son. It was whoever would listen to me. And then when it got to the the actual campaign and Trump had the debate, it so infuriated. And it just made me so angry that that's when I wrote the letter.
