TL;DR Summary

The civil rape case against former President Donald Trump by writer E. Jean Carroll has gone to trial in Manhattan. Carroll's lawyer vividly recounted the story of Trump raping her in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s, while Trump's lawyer attacked Carroll's character and motivations. The trial will include testimony from two friends of Carroll's and two witnesses who worked at the store. The jury is anonymous for security reasons, and the judge has warned against inciting violence or jeopardizing the rule of law. Trump has a separate civil suit against Carroll for defamation only.
