Trump Rape Trial Jury Receives Charging Instructions from Judge

The jury in the civil trial where former President Donald Trump is accused of raping and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll has received final instructions from the judge. Carroll alleges that Trump sexually assaulted her in a dressing room of the Bergdorf Goodman department store in the mid-1990s and defamed her last fall when he said she had made up the account. Trump did not testify during the trial, but portions of his deposition taken last fall by Carroll's lawyer were played for jurors during the trial.
