Trump has denied the allegation, telling The Hill in an exclusive interview that "she’s not my type." The president has denied all of the more than 20 allegations of sexual misconduct against him.

On the podcast published Thursday, Martin and Birnbach said that they knew Trump to some extent at the time of the incident.

When they were told about the attack, Birnbach said she told Carroll to call the police, while Martin told her not to talk about it because Trump was too powerful.

“I said: 'Don’t tell anybody.' I wouldn’t tell anybody this,” Martin said.

Carroll made clear during the podcast that she did does not describe the incident as rape.

“Every woman gets to choose her word,” she said. “Every woman gets to choose how she describes it. This is my way of saying it. This is my word. My word is fight. My word is not the victim word.”

“I have not been raped,” she continued. “Something has not been done to me. I fought.”
