Writer E Jean Carroll testifies about Trump raping her in department store dressing room

E Jean Carroll bravely recounted in court on Wednesday the harrowing story of being raped by former President Donald Trump in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s. Carroll described the brutal attack, which she tried to fight off by stamping on his foot, as having left her traumatised for decades. Her testimony was given on the second day of the civil trial stemming from the lawsuit she filed against Trump last year under a New York law that granted adult sexual assault victims a one-year window to seek redress for long-ago events. The former president, who has denied the allegations, has not appeared in court so far.
