E. Jean Carroll's rape suit against Trump goes to trial.
TL;DR Summary
The civil trial over E Jean Carroll's rape allegation against former US President Donald Trump has begun in New York. Carroll has sued Trump for allegedly assaulting her in a Manhattan department store in the 1990s, a charge the former president has denied. The trial is expected to last two weeks and will centre on an alleged encounter between the former advice columnist for Elle magazine and Trump more than two decades ago at the Bergdorf Goodman store. If Carroll is successful, it would be the first time Trump is held legally responsible for sexual assault, after more than two dozen such allegations have been made against him.
