The former President Trump is currently on trial to decide damages to be paid to E. Jean Carroll. Writer E. Jean Carroll said that Trump sexually assaulted her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s. When he denied it, she sued him for defamation and later added a battery claim. Trump has already been found liable for defamation and sexual assault, with a $5 million payout. This second trial takes the findings of the first trial as fact and is only to decide the monetary damages that are owed.
