A woman who says Donald Trump silently molested her on an airliner in the late 1970s testified Tuesday in support of the writer who alleges that a flirtatious 1996 encounter with the future president ended in a violent sexual attack.
Jessica Leeds, 81, of Asheville, North Carolina, said Trump accosted her with what seemed like "40 zillion hands." She joined other witnesses who supported the testimony of E. Jean Carroll, a longtime advice columnist who publicly aired her claims against Trump in 2019, when she published a memoir. Trump has repeatedly denied the claims, saying Carroll lied to sell books and disparage him.
The witnesses were meant to support Carroll's testimony over three days ending Monday that Trump raped her in the dressing room of a luxury department store in midtown Manhattan.
