An unsealed court filing revealed that twice Donald Trump mixed up his ex-wife Marla Maples with E. Jean Carroll, who is alleging he raped her and has since defamed her.

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow requested that the documents be unsealed, "Law & Crime" revealed on Tuesday. In the past, Trump alleged that he couldn't have raped Carroll because she was "not my type." He claimed Carroll was "too ugly to rape." But court documents indicate that he couldn't tell the difference between Carroll and his wife in the mid-1990s.

“When confronted with the photo of Carroll and himself from a party before the rape, Trump twice misidentified Carroll as his ex-wife Marla Maples, insisting it was Maples smiling at him in the photo, when in fact the woman he was pointing to was Carroll herself,” Carroll's lawyer said, according to the documents.

“That’s Marla, yeah,” Trump said. “That’s my wife.”

“Which woman are you pointing to?” asked the lawyer.

Trump attorney Alina Habba prompted her client, “No, that’s Carroll.”

“Oh, I see,” Trump claimed.

1. "to ugly to rape"

Rape isn't about looks or beauty. It is about power, the sick need to feel superior and the means to punish, humiliate and demean the victim. It takes a very sick mind to rape another human being.

2. Her lawyer is brilliant and has left Donald flummoxed on more than on occasion.

3. She (and we all) have George Conway to thank for sending Roberta Kaplan her way

to represent Carroll. His past with Kellyanne and Trump/RW politics never to be forgotten, but I give him credit for that.

8. I did not know that. I cannot stand Kellyanne

but will give George props on that recommendation.

5. To Tangeranus, he most likely saw a current pic of E. Jean Carroll and thought she was 'too ugly'

It never occurs to him that she was ever younger than she is now.

That, and he's a compulsive liar anyways.

7. Too egotistical to wear the reading glasses, which might have allowed him to see well enough

to tell them apart.
