The lawyer who represented author E. Jean Carroll against Donald Trump has claimed that the former president once used the coded C-word profanity against her.
Kaplan's accusation is the latest accusation that President Trump has used misogynistic language toward women.
Roberta Kaplan said the incident happened at President Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, before she helped Carroll win, at the end of a deposition in an unrelated case. $86.3 million in damages.
Kaplan said in one episode. “George Conway Explains Everything (to Sarah Longwell)” Trump's lawyer said on the podcast that Trump confirmed it was off the record before saying, “See you next Tuesday.”
This phrase is commonly known as a euphemism for a derogatory four-letter word referring to female genitalia.
Mr. Kaplan told Mr. Conway that he initially did not understand what Mr. Trump was saying because they were not scheduled to meet the following Tuesday.
“Thankfully, I had no idea what that meant, so I said to him, 'What are you talking about? I'll be back on Wednesday,'” Kaplan said. . “It was literally an honest answer. He had no idea what he was saying.”

Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University, previously told the BBC: President Trump makes derogatory comments about famous women It's part of the pattern.
“Things like what he said about Hillary Clinton, Carly Fiorina, Elizabeth Warren, Heidi Cruz – the list goes on – he said things about women, any prominent and powerful woman, in the most despicable way. , talks about women in a way that trivializes them.”
Of course, Trump is known for violently attacking anyone he considers a rival or enemy, regardless of gender, but his language toward women is often unique.
Professor Marianne LaFrance, a psychologist at Yale University, previously told the BBC that Trump often uses sexist language to insult women, including referring to diplomat Marie Yovanovitch, the former ambassador to Ukraine, by name. He also said that he would call her “that woman'' instead.
In the same podcast episode, Kaplan revealed that Trump “yelled” at attorney Alina Haba. threw the document “across the table'' Kaplan and her team were furious when they learned they were served lunch at Mar-a-Lago.
