For those who heard Trump's claim that he's going to fly in from Ireland to "confront" Carroll in New York, reporter @molcranenewman sets you straight, via the ex-president's lawyer.
“And I have a judge who’s extremely hostile,” Trump adds.
One wonders whether this whole presser will come up in court.
The jury enters.
Trump's video deposition resumes.
Carroll's lawyer Roberta Kaplan asks him about Trump's comment: "She's not my type," and Trump didn't deny it meaning he didn't find Carroll physically attractive.
Kaplan asks, pointedly: "I take it the three women you married are all your type."
Trump replies in affirmative.
In the deposition, Trump stands by the Truth Social post that sparked the second defamation claim Carroll fined against him.
"I wrote it all myself, all myself," he said. E. Jean Carroll Signals Plans to File New Defamation Claim Against Trump Over Truth Social Post Calling Rape Allegations a 'Hoax and a Lie'
Trump's asked what he meant by saying Carroll alleged he "swooned" her.
"It's a nicer word than the other word that starts with an F," Trump said.

Q: That's you on the video, correct?
A: Yes.
Trump on the "they let you do it" line in the Access Hollywood tape.
"Historically, that's true, with stars."
He adds "if you look over the last million years I guess that's been largely true, not always, but largely true, unfortunately or fortunately."
Trump to Carroll's lawyer Roberta Kaplan, in the video deposition:
"You wouldn't be a choice of mine, either, to be honest."
