		</div><p>Two women have confirmed that the writer E Jean Carroll told them in the 1990s that she had been sexually assaulted by US President Donald Trump in the dressing room of a New York City department store.</p>
<p>The women, both journalists who were friends with Ms Carroll, have spoken publicly for the first time to The New York Times newspaper in a podcast released today.</p>
<p>Carol Martin, a former news anchor on WCBS-TV, and Lisa Birnbach, a writer and author, said they had had opposite reactions when Ms Carroll told them of her alleged encounter with Mr Trump at Bergdorf Goodman.</p>
<p>Ms Carroll, a feature writer and longtime Elle advice columnist, said she had run into Mr Trump at the department store and was helping him shop for a gift when he pushed her up against a dressing room wall, unzipped his pants and forced himself on her.</p>
<p>Ms Carroll said she had used her knee to distance herself and got out of the room.</p>
<p>Ms Birnbach said Ms Carroll had called her straight after the alleged incident.</p>
<p><em>“I remember her saying repeatedly, ‘He pulled down my tights’ … which got me to think that was as far as it went,”</em> she said.</p>
<p>More details had then emerged.</p>
<p><em>“And I said, ‘What? He raped you?&#8217;”</em> Ms Birnbach said.</p>
<p><em>“I said, ‘Let’s go to the police,&#8217;”</em> she recalled, but Ms Carroll refused.</p>
<p>Ms Martin said she had spoken to Ms Carroll within a few days.</p>
<p>She recalled that her friend seemed to be “handling it” on her own.</p>
<p><em>“She doesn’t break down easily,”</em> Ms Martin said.</p>
<p><em>“I said, ‘Don’t tell anybody,&#8217;”</em> Ms Martin added.</p>
<p>Mr Trump said that Ms Carroll was “totally lying” and that the story was completely fabricated.</p>
<p><em>“Number one, she’s not my type. Number two, it never happened,”</em> Mr Trump told The Hill in an interview at the White House.</p>
