E. Jean Carroll's Civil Trial Against Donald Trump Begins.

TL;DR
Jury selection begins in the civil suit brought against former President Donald Trump by E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of raping her in a department store in the mid-1990s. Trump denies the allegations. This is the second suit Carroll has filed against Trump, and it contains a defamation claim. The trial is expected to last about a week, and both sides are expected to call witnesses to bolster their claims. The stakes are high for both parties, as Carroll is seeking unspecified damages and a retraction of a defamatory statement, while a verdict in her favor could be seen as a form of accountability for Trump.
