While Trump launched into a surprising rant inside the courtroom on Thursday afternoon, he continued his vicious diatribe during a press conference at Trump Tower – which was where he raged to reporters about Carroll.

Trump indicated that he would appear in New York next week for the latest defamation case brought by Carroll. He also indicated that he plans to testify at the upcoming civil proceedings.
“Yeah, I’m going to go to it, and I’m going to explain,” he told reporters at Trump Tower on Thursday. “I don’t know who the h--- she is. I have no idea. They called me up years ago, and they said, do you know about this woman 25 or 30 years ago?”
The already embattled ex-president then once again suggested that Carroll “made up” her allegations against Trump. He insisted he was “innocent” and called the upcoming defamation trial “very unfair.”
