Carroll came forward with her story in 2019, alleging that Trump sexually assaulted her in the 1990s.
Nine New Yorkers have been assigned the task of deciding if former President Donald Trump attacked and raped advice columnist E. Jean Carroll in a department store bathroom in the 1990s, and if he committed defamation against her after she went public with the allegation in 2019.
"Hey, you're that advice lady," Trump allegedly said, according to Crowley. She said Carroll responded,"Hey, you're that real estate tycoon." Tacopina said he intended to show that Carroll and two friends"colluded to get their stories straight" about the alleged incident. Kaplan advised, but did not order, the jurors to refrain from using their real names with each other. The jurors were selected after being asked dozens of questions about their political affiliations, knowledge of the case and parties, experience with sexual misconduct allegations and news consumption habits.
They were asked if they were associated with groups known for extremism, a list that included QAnon, Antifa, the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters and the Ku Klux Klan. None said yes. They were also asked if their opinion of the Me Too movement might affect their beliefs, or if they believe Trump is treated unfairly by the media. One person said yes to the latter, and was not selected.
The trial comes as Trump is facing significant criminal and civil legal scrutiny. His Manhattan criminal court hearing marked the first time in U.S. history a former president was charged with a crime. The case is related to alleged business records fraud in connection with a 2016"hush money" payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
