Jury selection in E. Jean Carroll'srape lawsuit against former President Donald Trump is set to begin Tuesday in a New York federal court. Carroll, an author and former Elle magazine advice columnist, alleges that Trump raped her in the dressing room of Bergdorf Goodman, a luxury department store, in the mid-1990s. Trump has denied the allegation.
“I don’t know this woman, have no idea who she is, other than it seems she got a picture of me many years ago, with her husband, shaking my hand on a reception line at a celebrity charity event,” Trump said in October, after being ordered by a judge to be deposed in the case.
While the window for pressing criminal charges closed long ago, the New York state legislature passed a bill — the Adult Survivors Act — late last year, which allows adult victims of sexual assault and abuse to bring lawsuits against their alleged perpetrators regardless of when the alleged abuse took place.
Last week, the federal judge presiding over the case rejected a request from Trump’s attorney’s to preemptively excuse the former president’s potential absence from the upcoming trial. “The decision whether to attend or to testify is his alone to make,” Kaplan wrote. “There is nothing for the Court to excuse."
