Trump told Fox News Digital he has 'absolutely no idea who this woman is'
Trump responds as protester interrupts New Hampshire rally: 'Get out of here'
Former President Donald Trump was interrupted by a protester, who attempted to join Trump onstage, during a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire on Saturday, Jan. 20.
Former President Trump took the stand on Thursday in his defense in the civil defamation damages trial stemming from E. Jean Carroll’s defamation lawsuit claiming he sexually attacked her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s.
The 2024 GOP frontrunner has vehemently denied the allegation. His denial resulted in Carroll slapping Trump with a defamation lawsuit, claiming that his response caused harm to her reputation.

Trump and his legal team insist that Carroll's allegations are fabricated, with the former president's initial reaction including an accusation that Carroll was motivated by wanting to sell copies of her book.
Trump has repeatedly told Fox News Digital that he has "absolutely no idea who this woman is."
Carroll, 79, alleged that Trump raped her at the Bergdorf Goodman department store across from Trump Tower in Manhattan sometime in 1996.
