New York, New York - Donald Trump's taped deposition in for E. Jean Carroll's lawsuit against him has been released to the public, showing the former president defending his most damning past comments.

The 48-minute deposition, originally taken in October, was played by Carroll's legal team for the jury on Wednesday and Thursday, and released to the public on Friday.

Trump is seen answering questions about Carroll's claims that he raped her in a department store in the 1990s, and the nature of their relationship.

When Carroll came forward with her claims in 2016, Trump publicly denied it, also criticizing her looks by claiming he couldn't have raped her because she is "not my type."

Asked in the deposition about his response, Trump defends himself by saying: "It's not politically correct to say, and I know that, but I'll say it anyway."

"She's accusing me of rape," he continues. "A woman that I have no idea who she is, it came out of the blue he said."

In one previously-reported moment from the deposition, Trump is handed an old photo of himself meeting Carroll and her then-husband at an event in the 1980s. He goes on to mistakenly identify Carroll in the photo as Marla Maples several times.

After his attorney corrects his mistake, Trump, who does not typically wear glasses or contacts, responds by claiming that the photo is "blurry."

During the deposition, Donald Trump was also played the infamous Access Hollywood tape, where he is heard on a hot mic bragging to the show's host about his celebrity status allowing him to grab women "by the p****."

He maintained his original defense that his comments were simply "locker room talk," but also added there was truth in his statements.

"Well, historically that's true," Trump argued. "If you look over the last million years, I guess that's been largely true, not always. Unfortunately, and fortunately."

Trump has been a no show for the duration of the trial, and, according to Insider, his legal team closed out their defense this week without calling any witnesses or presenting any evidence.

Closing arguments for the trial is scheduled for Monday.
