E. Jean Carroll's lawsuit against Donald Trump heads to trial.

Jury selection begins for a civil trial in which E. Jean Carroll, a former advice columnist for Elle Magazine, alleges that Donald Trump raped her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s. Trump denies the allegations. Carroll is seeking unspecified damages for battery and defamation, and for Trump to retract a statement he made on his social media site. The trial is taking place in Manhattan federal court and is expected to last between one and two weeks. The incident cannot be pursued as a criminal case due to the statute of limitations.
