Lawyers for a woman who accuses President Donald Trump of raping her in the 1990s are asking for a DNA sample, seeking to determine whether his genetic material is on a dress she says she wore during the encounter. Carroll accused Trump last summer of raping her in a Manhattan luxury department store dressing room in the mid-1990s. Her lawyer, Kaplan, said it was “standard operating procedure” in a sexual assault investigation to request a DNA sample from the accused. “As a result, we’ve requested a simple saliva sample from Mr. Trump to test his DNA, and there really is no valid basis for him to object,” she said. Trump, a Republican, isn’t the first president to face the prospect of a DNA test related to a woman’s dress.
