Trump's Rape Trial Looms Over Potential Presidential Run.

A trial in Federal District Court in Manhattan will begin on Tuesday, where a jury will hear E. Jean Carroll's allegation that former President Donald J. Trump raped her more than two decades ago in a department store dressing room. The trial is expected to last one to two weeks and will take place amid a barrage of legal action aimed at Mr. Trump, who is running to regain the presidency. Ms. Carroll's lawyers will ask the jury to find Mr. Trump liable for battery, and if he is found responsible, to award monetary damages.
