TL;DR Summary

Jury selection begins in the New York civil trial for a sex assault defamation lawsuit by writer E. Jean Carroll against former President Donald Trump, who was present in the courtroom. The trial will determine the damages Trump should pay Carroll for defamatory statements denying her claim that he raped her in the mid-1990s. Three potential jurors were excused, and opening statements were expected later. Trump's lawyer withdrew from the case, and Trump claimed the trial is a political ploy to harm his chances of regaining the White House.
