Trump to face anonymous jury in high-profile defamation and rape cases.
TL;DR
The judge presiding over E. Jean Carroll's civil rape and defamation lawsuit against Donald Trump has ruled that he'll use an anonymous jury in the case, citing the former president's inflammatory rhetoric about the justice system and the risk of juror harassment. Trump's lawyer has no issue with the judge's decision, while Carroll's lawyer declined to comment. The case is set to go to trial in Manhattan federal court on April 25.
