- Trump's 'Access Hollywood' tape is in evidence as deliberations begin Tuesday in his civil rape trial.
- The tape is irrelevant to E. Jean Carroll's 'unbelievable' claims, a lawyer for Trump told them.
- Carroll's lawyer countered that the tape is Trump's honest "confession" of how he treats women.
As jurors begin deliberations Tuesday in the Donald Trump rape and defamation trial in Manhattan, they'll have mixed instructions on how much weight to give his infamous "Access Hollywood" tape in deciding if magazine writer E. Jean Carroll is telling the truth.
The vulgar 2005 tape is Trump's confession, in his own words, of his predatory history with women, Carroll's attorney told jurors in closing arguments Tuesday.
Trump's lawyer, Joe Tacopina, meanwhile, told jurors to just ignore it.
