Trump faces rape and defamation allegations in New York civil trial.
TL;DR Summary
A civil lawsuit has begun against former President Donald Trump, filed by E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of raping her in 1996. Carroll is suing Trump for defamation after he denied the allegations. The trial is expected to last up to two weeks, and while Trump is not at risk of a criminal conviction for sexual assault, he could face a potential civil judgment against him for millions of dollars. Trump's lawyers have said he does not plan to attend the trial, and Carroll's lawyers have indicated they do not plan to call Trump as a witness. Graphic testimony against Trump is expected, and the trial will not be televised.
