The Republican lawmaker has spoken out in support of rape victims
Rep. Nancy Mace looks on during a break as Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, attends a closed deposition with members of the Republican-led House Oversight Committee conducting an impeachment inquiry into the president, at the O'Neill House Office Building in Washington, D.C., on Feb. 28, 2024.
"I'm not shaming you at all. I called you courageous," Stephanopoulos told Mace, going on to say, "I'm asking you a very simple question." However, a judge in that case later issued a determination that "the finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was 'raped' within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump 'raped' her as many people commonly understand the word 'rape.'
Both the 2023 jury and a second jury in 2024 found Trump liable for defaming Carroll. The question of rape or sexual assault was not presented during the 2024 proceeding as the judge instructed the jury to accept that finding from the earlier case as true. Stephanopoulos followed up: "Doesn't it make it harder for women to come forward when they're defamed by presidential candidates?"
