E. Jean Carroll, the writer and advice columnist, says Donald Trump attacked her in the dressing room of a high-end Manhattan retail store in the mid-90s.
The accusation, published Friday in New York Magazine, is detailed in a new book by Carroll that will published on July 2, according to the magazine. The piece in New York Magazine says Carroll’s book includes six incidents of men attacking her.
According to NY Mag, Carroll says the incident occurred in late 1995 or early 1996.
Carroll and Trump apparently ran into each other at Bergdorf Goodman where he asked her for advice on what to buy, according to the publication. Trump reportedly suggested that Carroll try on a lace bodysuit and she alleges that Trump shoved her against a wall and pulled down her tights in a dressing room.
According to Carroll’s account, Trump forced his fingers around her “private area” and put his penis halfway or completely inside her, the NY Mag article says.

Trump issued the following statement in response to Carroll’s allegation:
“Regarding the “story” by E. Jean Carroll, claiming she once encountered me at Bergdorf Goodman 23 years ago. I’ve never met this person in my life. She is trying to sell a new book—that should indicate her motivation. It should be sold in the fiction section.
“Shame on those who make up false stories of assault to try to get publicity for themselves, or sell a book, or carry out a political agenda—like Julie Swetnick who falsely accused Justice Brett Kavanaugh. It’s just as bad for people to believe it, particularly when there is zero evidence. Worse still for a dying publication to try to prop itself up by peddling fake news—it’s an epidemic.
“Ms. Carroll & New York Magazine: No pictures? No surveillance? No video? No reports? No sales attendants around?? I would like to thank Bergdorf Goodman for confirming they have no video footage of any such incident, because it never happened.
“False accusations diminish the severity of real assault. All should condemn false accusations and any actual assault in the strongest possible terms.”If anyone has information that the Democratic Party is working with Ms. Carroll or New York Magazine, please notify us as soon as possible. The world should know what’s really going on. It is a disgrace and people should pay dearly for such false accusations.”
