Attorney Roberta Kaplan, a long-time legal antagonist of former President Donald Trump, claims he knowingly deployed a slang phrase for “c*nt” following a deposition at Mar-a-Lago, his private club in Palm Beach, Florida. Appearing on the far-left Bulwark podcast, George Conway Explains It All, Kaplan told hosts Conway and Sarah Longwell that the former President said, “See you next Tuesday” upon ending the deposition.
The phrase “see you next Tuesday” is sometimes used to spell out the word, “c u n t,” a moniker over which Kaplan is clearly sensitive.
The attorney, who recently represented E. Jean Carroll in two defamation lawsuits against Trump, claims she was unaware of the alternative meaning of what Trump said. “So I said to him, what are you talking about? I’m coming back on Wednesday. It’s literally… it was an honest answer [sic], I had no idea what he’s talking about,” Kaplan told Conway and Longwell, claiming she suspected it was a joke.
Kaplan went on to explain that once she had departed Mar-a-Lago, her colleagues told her that Trump had — in essence — called her a “c*nt.” She said: “Then we get into the car and my colleagues are like, Robbie, do you know what that means? And I’m like, no, what are you talking about? They tell me and I’m like, oh my God, thank God I didn’t know because had I known, I for sure would have gotten angry.”
Conway is the former husband of Kellyanne Conway, a former Trump advisor. He was the first to prompt E. Jean Carroll into suing the 45th president, convincing her of the matter at a house party hosted by the far-left Bulwark contributor Molly Jong-Fast. Kaplan took the case having recently smeared the sexual accusers of former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
