Trump faces rape trial as jury selection begins.

A civil trial has begun in Manhattan over E. Jean Carroll's accusation that Donald Trump raped her in the mid-1990s and defamed her by denying it happened. Carroll's lawyer argued that the case was not a "he said, she said" dispute, as other witnesses were prepared to verify her account. Carroll is seeking unspecified damages for significant pain and suffering, lasting psychological harm, and invasion of privacy. The trial is expected to last one to two weeks, and Trump's lawyer will also give an opening statement.
