migrant emergency now that troops have been deployed to assist in the expected surge of migrants once title 42 is lifted. >> john: welcome back as "america reports" rolls into hour two. it's a busy one so far, sandra. >> sandra: remarkable when you look at the line of migrants lining up ahead of title 42 getting lifted, referenced as a challenge at the border by the white house moments ago. sandra smith in new york. we'll have -- we'll be live on the border just ahead. begin with the fox news alert. >> below an f rating. >> i would say c, c minus. >> i don't think he should be running again. >> no way he's going to be able to turn this around, it's a mess. >> there are things that could have been -- could be handled better. >> but really, be out there more. show, you know, energetic leader. >> john: at least there is good music. president biden facing a heavy dose of doubt from americans as he looks to secure another four years in office.

approval rating down all time low of just 36%, according to a new washington post poll. >> sandra: voters say he should be out there more making good on the promises of transparency, but instead we get this. >> god bless you all, may god protect our troops. thank you. >> president biden, a word about sudan? >> mr. president, a comment on the shooting in alabama today, sir? >> message -- >> mr. president, have you talked to leader mcconnell? >> what he joked about at the white house correspondents association dinner and everybody laughing laughed but not laughing now, even washington post, president is turning into a news media evader.

>> sandra: mark, the president has not held a solo news conference this year. are there any on the agenda? >> sandra g afternoon. into news conferences on the horizon, but the white house also reject, including at today's briefing, it tries to hide the president from the cameras, but we are going to see the president on camera a little later today, about two hours from now, we'll be sitting down with congressional leaders for the debt ceiling talks. it's possible reporters may get a question in but i would doubt it, there was an event that happened yesterday here at the white house and the president chose not to answer any of the questions then. and a look at the numbers where the administration stands compared to past administration's when it comes to different news conferences and data shows they are holding far fewer news conferences compared to those in recent history. 24 at this point, third year in office, according to president trump and president obama. they urged him to reconsider the strategy, widely known mr. biden

is gaffe prone and news conferences are not his forte' but as he runs for a second term he should show he can do all aspects of the job. he believes voters will favor his experience by the time next november rolls around, and new polling which shows it may not add up. abc washington post asking democratic leaning adults about 2024, 58% say they would like to see somebody else other than the president get the nomination. but the president is going to be back on the campaign trail tomorrow, going to be up in new york, courting democratic donors, a group that will make all the difference, sandra, by all accounts, very expensive race. >> sandra: quite a preview this afternoon. >> john: preview of what's to come this afternoon and imagine thursday when title 42 rescission happens and then we go back to title 8, did not prove effective keeping people

out. >> sandra: indeed, and more, including the lack of press availability, "new york post" reporter banned from the white house press briefing room, ongoing hunter biden investigation, and more coming up. >> john: a laundry list of things to get through in the next 55 minutes. any moment now, the pentagon will be taking questions from reporters as american troops are set to arrive at the border with the end of title 42 fast approaching. this as we get a closer look at the damage the biden administration policies have done so far. fox news research estimates 3 million migrants have illegally taken up residence in the united states since president biden took office. jonathan fahey, former ice director. new developments in the past 24 hours, customs and border protection brass in d.c. has given forces authorization to release migrants into the streets of border towns if the

ngos there don't have the facilities to house and feed them. el paso has already declared a state of emergency because of what's happening. if they start releasing people under the streets in mass, what's going to happen? >> we have a total disaster and it's hard to believe it's going to get worse. no plan now to deal with it, they don't have any plan to deal with it in the future so this is going to continue and it's going to get worse and what they are doing now is mostly for show, when it's bringing 1500 troops or talking about deterrent and enforcement. they are not dealing in a serious way in a respect. >> john: a press release went out from dhs that announced enforcement operation was going to take place in el paso at a certain place at a certain date. which is basically telling anybody who is there who might get swept up in this, hey, you've got time, get away. this is what the border patrol union said in regard to that.

nothing like publicly announcing the dangerous people will be arrested warning them ahead of time where to run and hide to avoid arrest. the entire operation is a sad joke, another pandering p.r. stunt, serious law enforcement leaders don't behave this way. you ran ice, would you say oh, by the way, immigration and customs enforcement will be conducting an operation on x date, x time, x place to pick up people illegally, either detain or deport them. >> absolutely absurd and i think the border patrol union statement is accurate. they are not doing anything serious and what they are doing, trying to make it seem like they are doing something to enforce the law, you heard the white house press secretary say earlier, it's really congress's issue to act here, so it's really on congress to enforce new laws or to pass laws and they'll enforce the future laws. they don't want to, they actually want this to happen. >> john: other guests from the

trump administration say look, maybe congress has not acted, and needed, but they had procedures and policies in place that reduced illegal immigration by a large margin. >> yeah, exactly. whether or not immigration needs to be reformed overall, we can deal with this issue enforcing laws we have in place. if you look at things like remain in mexico, that brings everyone claiming asylum, and through the claims heard. people crossing nonports of entry prosecuted for illegal entry, a misdemeanor, and they are not enforcing those laws, but if you do those things, enforce the law with serious criminals already here when they commit a crime, cut down on sanctuary cities, this problem would be a small fraction of what it is now and then you could start finding other ways to deal with it. >> john: i want to put up on the screen pictures that the drone pilot has been taking outside of brownsville, texas for the last week or so.

this is on a levee in brownsville, and this -- this, job, looks like a part of entry with all the people lined up. these are illegal immigrants being processed by the border patrol, customs and border protection. this is in advance of title 42 coming on. karine jean-pierre was asked were you expecting this surge ahead of title 42, she said i'm not going to get into hypotheticals. that's not a hypothetical. that's asking a question about what is happening right now. if we are seeing this now, what are we going to see when title 42 comes off? >> it's going to get so much worse, and the idea, if they didn't expect this, it's breathtaking the level of incompetence. everyone knows this is going to happen, and it's going to get worse and also shows when she talks about deterrent, there's no deterrent whatsoever. they are in plain sight walking across and the moment they get to the united states they will receive every benefit that american citizens get and this administration will not deport them absent the most extraordinary circumstance.

>> john: a pop-up tent on a levee is inviting people to be processed and they know in some sectors they could stay here for ten years. >> before they even go to court and they will not get deported anyway, what's the incentive to go to court. >> john, great to get your thoughts on this, appreciate it. we look ahead to thursday. sandra. >> sandra: fox news alert here, the justice department is revealing it has taken down a russian cyber program used to collect secrets from hundreds of infected computers around the globe. let's bring in morgan wright, cybersecurity expert and former senior adviser at the state department. what do we need to know about this. >> the cold war but in cyberspace. operating out of the fsb, center

16, unit 71330, this has been stuff that's been warned about. the nsa, u.k. national cybersecurity center released a warning in 2018. we knew they were operating but the stuff was so sophisticated it took until now to where we could identify it, disrupt it and prevent them from accessing nato, and nato countries. >> sandra: how many more like this are out there the fbi has to track down? >> more than we have agents available, more than we have the capacity to handle. in spite of what's going on in ukraine, do not think russia is not tier one operator and adversary. this without a doubt, and the reporting i'm just seeing says this is the most sophisticated stuff our intelligence services have seen. >> sandra: it's a 20-year-old malware network known as snake. the fbi was able to disrupt

this. they call it a sophisticated malware network. used by the russian government. their goal to collect sensitive information from hundreds of infected computers across 50 countries, morgan. this was just announced by the justice department, this was dubbed operation medussa, and kremlin-backed hackers succeeded, able to track it down with so many more out there, what is the threat to all of us and how do we protect ourselves? >> you know, one of the things you'll be seeing, you may have seen depending what kind of device or operating system you have, a lot of updates being pushed out recently, so here is the thing. if you get an update, they are not suggestions, it's really something you need to do. update the router, software, hardware, whatever it is as the updates come out, do that. that's the best protection against it. these things were designed, this is not passwords or user names,

this is breaking into systems and embedding malware or hijacking other group's malware to piggy back and inside. i'm seeing updates in the last couple days, things coming out now to where they are looking at how do we prevent this and the best thing right now, update everything you've got as the patches come out. >> sandra: another way to help protect yourself and i'm just taking this directly from the fbi office, they are also warning americans against using public phone charging stations at airports or malls, citing this kind of risk. that's a really important point. just about anywhere you go the phone dies, can i plug in here. is that a source of this? >> it could be. let me tell you, if you think of the way covid spread, you have a disease that comes into an airport, why airports are so key, and spread to other areas. this goes off of usb connections or things like that.

it's possible that this malware or a type of this malware spread by simply plugging in. the best thing to do, i've got like two battery powered charges, i do not public anything into a public usb port. this is how sophisticated it gets, sandra. we've got to be very careful and think we have to be skeptical about anything, if it's public, free, usually you are the target. >> sandra: that's a scary warning i think we will all remember. don't plug in at the airport or the public charging stations and a former fbi official saying they put a piece of tape over the computer camera, you don't know what it's hacked and somebody is watching you. appreciate you joining us on the breaking news. >> john: the white house briefing has wrapped up, karine jean-pierre has gone back to her office but not before taking a question from our jacqui heinrich, the way back machine,

jacqui asking about the debt ceiling. >> three republican senators signed and to a letter opposing raising the debt ceiling without budget reforms, and 217 members in the house voted for that bill to raise the debt limit with cuts to spending. does the white house consider all of those members to be dangerous maga republican extremists? >> do they understand what the cuts that they are voting for is going to do, that's the question. i mean, republicans in congress, in the house specifically, voted for cuts that's going to hurt american families. i mean, we can't say this enough. 22% cuts to veterans, healthcare, schools, that's what they voted for. that's what -- and this is not -- ok, but this is not -- this is not just -- this is -- they are constituents. this is what they voted for. >> and the constituents that they are voting on behalf of have said they are concerned about their retirements, about

the effects of inflation, and those members represent more than half the country in the house. those -- that's the majority of districts in the country that they are voting on behalf of those constituents expressing concern where the economy is. how can the white house continue to use messaging and calling this the default on america act and paint this legislation in such a way without having a conversation about budget when you've got half the country saying that they want that conversation? >> so, house republicans are threatening a first-ever default. they want the president to agree on a plan in its entirety that includes cuts, that includes cuts to programs that are incredibly important for the american family because they want to hold the american economy hostage, because that's what they are saying that they want to do, by threatening --

threatening default. >> john: the blame keeps going on to republicans for not doing their jobs, in the meantime, they have done their job, the limit save grow act, 1.5 t 1.5 trillion raise, but the white house has not wanted to negotiate. see if it changes. >> sandra: you have to remind people happening at the federal reserve is multiple interest rate hikes, ten in a row, to try to tame inflation. there is obviously some concern that they could overdo it and this economy could really -- it could really struggle. it already is showing signs of that, that it could get worse, and one could make the case that this white house is laying the ground work for blaming republicans for a failing economy by saying that they are responsible for the debt ceiling. >> john: there is an election coming up, so everybody is looking for blame to go around. could we put the debt clock up, look, we are heading toward $32 trillion in debt, and this

white house wants another blank check to keep going and republicans are just saying look,s we are at a point we are never going at that pay this back and need to think about getting our fiscal house in order. >> sandra: and every american citizen and taxpayer is paying for it. >> john: look at how much we are paying for it. >> sandra: and up and up and up. >> john: i remember when the household debt was $50,000, and now look at what it is, my god. >> sandra: and you've got two-thirds of the country living paycheck to paycheck, and that is fact right now. so, this is a tough, tough economic environment, we'll see where this goes. that meeting is happening less than two hours from now. john, meanwhile, critics are slamming this white house after it denied "the new york post" from attending the president's only public event. the front page suggesting it could be tied to the coverage of the hunter biden laptop scandal. a bombshell report revealed former cia acting director

misled intel officers who signed the letter as russian disinformation. political reporter for the post john levine has been on the story since 2020. good to have you here. >> good to be here, sandra. >> sandra: what do you make of any reporter, "new york post" reporter, any reporter, that's trying to do their job, being banned from the white house press briefing room. what is your reaction to it? >> totally outrageous, assault on the free press. steve nelson is a straight shooter, a friend of mine, he was denied access to the event, and sparsely attended, they said there was no space, clearly that was not true and there's what's going on here. and i -- something i have to point out, where is the white house correspondents association? where are the industry groups, where are the good government groups saying this is wrong, attack on the first amendment and free expression. they are silent as a cricket. when trump was attacking cnn and jim acosta, you could have

bottled jim's tears and sold them on amazon, and now nothing. >> sandra: 22 empty seats in the briefing room, the who us is not denying that. the white house emailed and says this, unable to accommodate your credential request to attend the investing in airline industry remarks may 8th. livestreamed and viewed at white house.gov. explanation given to a reporter in the room, is this all about the hunter biden investigation, why they are banning him? >> we know it's obviously not the real answer, well, what is the real answer. certainly the walls are closing in on hunter biden. six-year department of justice probe, he could face felony charges, two lawsuits, one in arkansas with the mother of his child, the stripper, he does not want to pay child report payments and sued by defamation by the laptop repairman, and

both cases, instead of trying to settle or make it go away, he's doubling down and counter suing and very aggressive, and they are going to explode into joe biden's presidential re-election like an asteroid hitting the earth. >> sandra: the president does not even include the grandchild of his in the latest count. >> it's a sad story. >> sandra: indeed. "new york post" editorial board writes this and asks this, why is the white house afraid to allow him to question biden, at 80, they think he's not fit for a second term. and we wonder if they think he can't handle reporters just what duties are they trusting him with. and that is a really important question. we can talk about this all day long. at the end of the day, at the end of the day, right now, he is the leader of the country. he is the one responsible for

making these decisions. >> at the end of the biden second term, he will be 86 years old. we are well beyond the point we ever thought anyone could be president at that age. everyone thought reagan was too old and he was starting to show evidence of dementia at that time. so i think the issues we are talking about with joe biden are not going to get better as he gets older. i think that's clear. so especially as he's confronted with the very stressful, difficult problems involving his son, i think there probably is some trepidation in the white house to limit his exposure to these questions and issues. >> sandra: miranda divine said he's probably the most untransparent of any president in recent memory. a president that campaigned on transparency, john. >> absolutely. the central premise of the entire hunter biden investigation is did he have any involvement in his son's overseas business dealings, we know he did, proven seven ways from sunday but they continue to deny that. you can't have a real conversation. >> sandra: great to have you on

set. >> john: always good to see john. more breaking news, a major change to health guidance for some 20 million women across america. u.s. health panel recommending women start mammograms to screen for breast cancer at age 40, that moves it up a decade from current recommendations of 50 years of age. one of the reasons, more women getting breast cancer at a younger age and doctors unable to explain why. bring in dr. nicole saphier, a fox news contributor and director of breast imaging at the memorial sloan kettering cancer center. the u.s. preventative services task force, doc, in influential, particularly when it comes to insurance companies. what do you make of this change? it is a big one for them. >> it certainly is, john. and while the united states preventative services task force has done an about face by saying breast screening should begin at 40, not 50.

what the society of breast imaging have recommended annual mammograms at the age of 40 for average risk women. but the usptf have been critical and recommended at 50. now they are acknowledging the rise of breast cancer diagnoses in younger women, specifically those premenopausal, and they get more aggressive tumors, diagnosed at later stages and early detection and intervention is what saves the most lives. so it makes sense to do annual mammograms starting at 40. >> john: so we should point out as well, this is women who are at moderate risk for breast cancer, those women by this -- >> i'm sorry, this is -- this is average risk, not moderate, just average risk. no risk factors, meaning no family history, no personal history, or known genetic mutations. >> john: i thought it said moderate risk. but at any rate, this age group

was reserved for people at high risk, so this is going to change that parameter substantially. will insurance come along? >> well, thankfully most insurance companies kind of didn't go along with the uspstf task force because most other societies recommended earlier screening. american cancer society recommended at 40, as i mentioned the american college of radiology recommended at 40. so, most private insurances have been covering mammogram starting at the age of 40. medicare tends to align itself with the uspstf, talking about premenopausal patients, not necessarily the medicare population but good to come together and have more unified recommendations. still only recommends every other year. i recommend every year from 40 to 49, but we are getting closer at least. >> john: so this was prompted as

we mentioned at the top by a significant rise in breast cancer among younger women. do we know what is driving that? >> the rise is multi-factorial. genetic mutations, familial, and rising obesity rates, a rise in breast cancer and lower fertility, fewer people having babies and fewer people breastfeeding. having babies and breastfeeding actually lowers your risk of breast cancer so when you are not seeing that, you are going to see a rise. and hormone replacements and other things, early detection is crucial, younger women tend to get more aggressive breast cancers. >> john: dr. nicole saphier with the news. good to see you. >> sandra: thank you, president biden set to talk debt ceiling with house speaker kevin mccarthy, that is expected to happen, long-awaited meeting just about an hour and a half

from now. but with the two parties so far apart, will any progress actually be made? >> john: plus, the biden administration's climate agenda finding another household appliance to crack down on. so, will their meddling in the lives of americans ever end? dagen and garrett here to discuss coming up. >> there's going to be costs associated with this, and when so many things are more expensive than they used to be, i think the last thing we should do is find other things more expensive. a lot of money every month by paying off your car loan and paying off your high rate credit card debt and still have cash left over to put in the bank? with the newday 100 va cash out loan, you could do it all. take out an average of $70,000 with no upfront fees, no upfront appraisal fees, termite inspection or water test fee. because a veteran shouldn't have to come up with money to get money. i'm barbara and i'm from st. joseph, michigan.

this meeting now. anything could happen but set it up for us. >> sandra, the highest stakes meetings in the careers of president biden, and kevin mccarthy, however, do not expect a handshake soon. just a touching of the gloves. they last met in february. >> i hope it's different than it's been for the last 97 days, you know, february 1st went to see the president and sat down with him, and saying we should work on the debt ceiling. >> mccarthy signalled he will not punt on the debt ceiling, he wants a deal now. in february mccarthy appeared optimistic. >> i left this meeting with a better perspective than walking into the meeting and felt we were honest with one another, times we were far apart, but we are league -- laying out the vision. >> investors are concerned about

a debt ceiling stalemate. if the government hits it, it runs out of cash, cannot pay benefits or make payroll. the white house insists it's not negotiable. >> people have asked will they give an off ramp, exit strategy. congress must act, prevent a default, success, it's about the american economy, about the american people. >> here is the key to the talks, both sides must secure what they regard as a win. however, selling those wins on capitol hill is a challenge. some gop members want nothing less than the bill the house approved in april. sandra. >> sandra: chad, keep us posted. we'll be watching all of it. chad pergram on capitol hill for us. john. >> john: for more on today's high stakes meeting, bob cusack, editor and chief of "the hill."

a republican negotiating point. we were talking about this in the break, knowing speaker mccarthy as i do, i don't think that there is a chance in h-e-double hockey sticks he will allow the u.s. to go into default. >> at the same time, in order to keep his job, he cannot pass a clean debt and when the runner hits the road, kevin mccarthy said i'm not interested in punting, like a short-term, but when we are up against it, things could change. >> john: mccarthy, and that strategy is fraught because maybe there are some people in his caucus who will not agree to a debt ceiling increase, then he has to like boehner did, much to his chagrin, and he could take a hit with that. >> i don't see a lot of progress, john, for this meeting. both sides are talking past one another, kevin mccarthy did pass a bill so he does have some leverage but up against a democratic senate and white house. a tough spot for everybody.

and everyone has to get something in this deal, and then 2024, will former president trump back a deal joe biden does, i'm skeptical. >> john: and what karine jean-pierre said in the briefing about the nasty republicans. >> it's not rational, the rationable, it's not reasonable and practical for practice to do what they are doing for house republicans to be holding this up for threatening default. that's where the problem should be and that's who should be called out. what we are seeing from house republicans, maga republicans, is that they are making -- they are manufacturing a crisis that shouldn't be. that shouldn't be. >> john: that would suggest it is the constitutional duty of republicans to pass a clean debt ceiling increase. i don't see that written in the constitution anywhere. what they have done was they did their job. they got together, they passed a limit save grow act and saying

here is our position, mr. president, let's talk about it. and so far biden has said forget that. we'll see what happens today. to say they have not done their job is -- >> the senate does not have the votes to pass a clean debt ceiling, you need 60 votes and they don't have 60 in the senate. this is where i think president biden is going to have to negotiate with kevin mccarthy and give him something. >> john: when you look at the debt ceiling clock, how high is it going to go before somebody does something about spending. the key to that, you have to reform medicare, medicaid, social security. neither side is about to do that unilaterally and neither side wants to come together on it. until you come to an agreement to rein in that spending off the charts, and i remember back in the heady waning days of the clinton administration, a social security surplus of about a quarter of a trillion dollars

every year. they were talking about paying off the debt, which back at that point was $5.7 trillion. neither side is willing to attack these what are called entitlement programs, people argue with that term, they paid into it, and neither side touch it. >> neither party wants to touch this, but unless they fix it and they did in the 1990s, balanced budget act made some cuts to medicare and balanced the budget, they have to do that again. with bill clinton and newt gingrinch, amid impeachment they were able to do that. right now now it's too polarized. >> back in the days when democrats and republicans could work together. >> they would be partisan, but they would get behind closed doors and strike a deal and it would be painful because both sides would have to compromise. we are not seeing any of this, and honestly, this is disappointing for our nation's

leaders for it to get to this point. >> john: washington became a 0 sum game a long time ago and want to maintain that status quo. >> without a doubt. >> sandra: israeli military releasing footage from the airstrikes targeting islamic jihad commanders in the gaza strip. will there be retaliation. >> john: a mother of three who wrote a grief book to help the kids deal with the loss of the father, now accused of killing him. ine mahon. i'm retired from public health nursing and from the army reserve. my retirement funds allow me to enjoy what i love to do. as long as you can make an impact, why stop?

>> john: all right. we are just about five minutes away from a verdict being read in the u.s. district court in the e. jean carroll trump sexual assault defamation case. the judge is a clinton appointee. looked like the jury had the case for three hours before they came out with a verdict. we don't know if they deliberated through lunch or took lunch and their mind were made up. that is a very short deliberation. >> just shy of three hours. the verdict will be read at 3:00 eastern time. four minutes from now. let's get to bryan llenas. bryan, as we await this, your

thoughts, sir? >> yes, sandra and john. i would say it is very short considering that you need a unanimous decision here by nine anonymous jurors that have been put together. remember, this is an anonymous jury. nobody knows the identity of the jurors. they were afraid they would be harassed given the fact that this is a former president being accused of rape by e. jean carroll. the two things here, this is not a criminal case, this is a civil case. the plaintiffs did not have to prove that the president raped e. jean carroll. as they had to do is convince them that it was more than likely that the events happened. so is it more than likely that this actually happened? so that is the standard here. it is lower than in a criminal

case. what e. jean carroll is accusing the former president of is raping her in a dressing room of the bergdorf goodman department store. yesterday there were closing statements from roberta kaplan. in the closing statement, they said this sexually assaulting women was former president trump's m.o. they had two women testify in this case that were key witnesses accusing the former president of forcibly touching and groping them to prove that this was the former president's m.o. they had two friends of e. jean carroll that testified that they can corroborate the fact that carroll told them about this alleged rape in moments after it happened. the other thing that this jury is going to be considering is defamation. so you have sexual battery is the one thing they're considering. the other charge is defamation. that is whether or not there is

clear and convincing evidence that the former president maliciously smeared and slandered e. jean carroll in the days and years after e. jean carroll came up with this alleged accusation. so that is the thing that we'll be looking at here as this jury has appeared to reach a verdict. we'll see what they unanimously have decided, guys. >> sandra: bryan llenas in new york city. thought from you as we await this in just moments. the former president denies the allegations and denies knowing e. jean carroll. >> it's important to show that this lawsuit is funded by a liberal democratic donor. it's important to point out, this is the latest situation where it's constant attacks on president trump, which seems to

be not a lot of evidence for them or he's denied and only continues to get stronger in the polls every day as time passes. >> just to add, the two had this chance run-in in a store, dagen, as bryan llenas just detailed where the former president was shopping for a gift for a girl. he asked her for advice before he's accused of raping her. the plaintiff is accusing the former president of defamation and battery and seeking compensatory and punitive damages for the harms caused by trump's sexual assault. >> on the jury, six men an three women on this nine-person panel. when you hear a case -- i was on a criminal case here in new york city. when you hear a case that goes back to the mid 90s, you do have to factor in the individual's memory. but as bryan llenas pointed out, beyond a reasonable doubt is the burden of proof in a criminal

case. it's beyond a preponderance of evidence. so it's easier to prove in a civil matter. >> sandra: okay. good to see you, garrett. dagen, thank you as well. that does it for us. we'll hand it off to the next hour and they'll get the verdict. >> john: it does with former president trump on truth social. i'm john roberts. "the story" continues with martha maccallum. >> martha: big breaking news. we wait for the verdict which has now been reached in the civil suit against the former president, donald trump. we expect it will be read any moment from now in this civil case, writer e. jean carroll has accused the former president of rape and battery saying that he attacked here in the bergdoff goodman dressing room. she wrote about it and say
