Jessica Leeds, now 81, recounted what she endured decades ago during her testimony in the case of former U.S. writer and journalist E.

Jane Carroll. Leeds told federal court in Manhattan that Trump groped her in the business class section during a trip to New York in 1978 or 1979. Trump denies the charges in a case that is only one of a series of legal proceedings he faces that could block his candidacy for next year's US election and his bid for a second term in the White House.
