Trump to Face Rape Trial in Lawsuit by E. Jean Carroll.

Former President Donald Trump faces a civil lawsuit filed by writer E. Jean Carroll, who alleges that he raped her in the 1990s, a claim he denies. The lawsuit includes claims of battery and defamation, and a panel of anonymous jurors will determine if he's liable in both instances. The case puts allegations of Trump's misconduct toward women back into the spotlight and highlights the impact of a new New York law, which allows survivors to pursue a lawsuit involving such allegations years after an incident occurred. If found liable, Trump will have to pay financial damages to Carroll.
