"Trump's Defamation Trial with E. Jean Carroll: Live Updates and Evidence Ruling"

Former President Donald Trump and E. Jean Carroll are in the same room for the first time in decades as jury selection begins for the second defamation trial. Carroll is seeking more than $10 million in damages for Trump's 2019 defamatory statements about her sexual assault allegations. The trial will also consider Trump's comments at a CNN town hall following the 2023 verdict when deciding damages. Trump is appealing the previous verdict, where a jury found he sexually assaulted Carroll and defamed her, and was ordered to pay $5 million in damages.
