She told jurors she blamed herself and also feared she would be fired and that Trump would retaliate if she reported the “extremely painful” encounter.
“I’m here because Donald Trump raped me, and when I wrote about it, he lied and said it didn’t happen.
“He lied and shattered my reputation, and I’m here to try and get my life back. As I’m sitting here today I can still feel it,” she said.
The trial comes as Mr Trump is again running to become president.
She first made her accusations in 2019.
Denying the allegation, Trump had labelled her a “nut job” and “mentally sick” and claimed she fabricated the rape claim to boost sales of her book.JAMB Result
