Anonymous Jury Ordered in Trump Sexual Assault Cases.
TL;DR
A federal judge has ordered an anonymous jury in the upcoming sexual battery civil trial against former President Trump, citing the need for protection from harassment due to Trump's call for protests and attacks on jurors and officials in other cases. Author E. Jean Carroll accused Trump of raping her in the mid-1990s, which he has denied. Neither party objected to the anonymous jury, although media outlets did. The judge also referenced Trump's recent attacks on the foreperson of a Georgia grand jury investigating him and his call for the removal of top officials investigating him.
