TL;DR Summary

Donald Trump, fresh off a campaign victory in Iowa, is back in court for a second defamation trial against writer E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of raping her decades ago. Carroll is seeking at least $10 million in damages, claiming that Trump used his influence to attack and humiliate her. Trump's lawyer argued that Carroll is seeking a windfall due to social media backlash, while Trump accused the judge of political bias. The trial is expected to last three to five days, and Trump could spend much of this year shuttling between campaign rallies and courtrooms as he seeks the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
