Trump's Past Verbal Attacks Lead to Anonymous Jury in Defamation and Rape Cases.
TL;DR
A federal judge has ruled that the jury for former President Donald Trump's upcoming civil trial for allegedly defaming writer E. Jean Carroll after she accused him of rape will be anonymous due to Trump's history of verbally attacking people in the legal system. The judge cited concerns of unwanted media attention, influence attempts, and harassment or worse of jurors by supporters of Trump. The trial is set to begin on April 25.
