Last spring, a jury sitting in the same seats as the current nine-person panel, found Mr Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation against Ms Carroll. Even throughout jury selection on Tuesday morning, while the former president sat facing forward in the courtroom, Mr Trump’s Truth Social account posted no less than 22 posts about Ms Carroll – claiming the first trial was corrupt, claiming Ms Carroll’s allegation was a “fake story”, and once again, claiming he never met, touched or seen Ms Carroll. Writer E Jean Carroll has accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her in the mid-1990s Ms Crowley reiterated multiple times that the facts of the case could not be disputed and that Mr Trump’s continuing attempts to undermine Ms Carroll’s lawsuit had damaged her reputation as a writer and her career. Ms Habba argued that the jury would be tasked with determining if only the two statements Mr Trump made in 2019 caused Ms Carroll’s reputation to be harmed.
