Writer tells jury in lawsuit trial: 'Donald Trump raped me'

Even when, according to E. Jean Carroll, the then-businessman motioned her to a dressing room as they dared each other to try on a see-through bodysuit, she imagined something like a ''Saturday Night Live'' sketch she'd written.

But soon, ''my whole reason for being alive in that moment was to get out of that room,'' Carroll testified Wednesday in the trial of her rape lawsuit.
