E Jean Carroll is now in court as the first person to give evidence in her second trial for saying that Donald Trump lied about her. This trial is happening in New York.

In May, it was decided that Mr Trump was responsible for sexually touching Ms Carroll in the 1990s and saying mean things about her after she told everyone about it in 2019.

The ex-president still says that Ms Carroll’s story is not true.

She got $5 million at first, and now she wants another $10 million.

On Tuesday, the person making the accusation and the person being accused were in the same room for the first time in over 20 years, when the jury was being chosen.

Mr Trump, who is 77 years old, was removed from his position in the previous trial. But he didn’t come in person or speak then. He is doing both things willingly in the current proceedings.

Ms Carroll, who is 80 years old, said that Mr. Trump assaulted her in a Manhattan department store in the 1990s after they ran into each other by chance.

Her claim, which was first made public in New York magazine in June 2019, was denied by Mr Trump from the White House as a “lie” and a “fake story”.

The lawyer for Ms. Carroll said that the Republican president used his power to publicly attack and shame her, and ruin her reputation.

Shawn Crowley said in court that Mr. Trump made death and rape threats and said mean things online that made her client very scared to live each day.

Asking jurors to decide how much money Donald Trump should pay for his actions and how much money it will take to make him stop, Ms Crowley demanded a large amount of compensation.

However, Alina Habba, who is representing Mr. Trump in the case, said on Tuesday that Ms. Carroll should not receive money because her claim of being sexually assaulted by Mr. Trump had actually made her well-known.

“Proof will reveal that her career has been successful and she has been put back into the spotlight like she has always desired,” Ms Habba said.

“She really enjoys her new brand, and she has been making money from it for a long time,” she said.

Mr Trump is the top Republican candidate for president, but he also has a lot of legal trouble with 91 criminal charges and a civil fraud trial in New York.

On Monday, he won by a large margin in the Iowa caucuses, which is the first contest in the race to become the Republican candidate for the White House.

He will be in court on Wednesday and is also doing more campaign events in New Hampshire, where the next contest is happening.

He keeps saying he doesn’t know anything about Ms. Carroll, and he’s said it many times on his Truth Social platform while he was at the hearing on Tuesday.

It is believed that Mr. Trump will speak in court on Monday.

This week, a jury in Manhattan will decide how much money Donald Trump should pay to a writer who said he raped her.

E Jean Carroll wants $10 million because she says Donald Trump’s comments about her and the accusations hurt her.

Last year, a jury in New York decided that he attacked and lied about Ms Carroll, and they gave her $5 million.

Mr Trump says he did nothing wrong and is asking for the decision to be reviewed.

He went to the courthouse on Tuesday morning to join the group of people who are chosen to decide the outcome of a trial.

He arrived just a few hours after giving a speech in Iowa where he won the first Republican presidential nomination contest.

This court case is about Mr. Trump saying he didn’t rape Ms. Carroll when she first talked about it in a New York magazine a little over three years ago.

At that time, Mr Trump said her story was not true at all. He said he never heard of Ms. Carroll and she made up the story to sell her book.

This case is different from a previous trial in May where a New York jury decided that the former president hurt Ms. Carroll in a sexual way, but did not do anything wrong when she said he raped her in a dressing room in the 1990s.

The jury decided that Mr. Trump was responsible for making false and damaging statements about the magazine writer.

In September, Judge Lewis Kaplan decided that the second trial against Mr. Trump will only focus on deciding how much money should be paid for harm caused.

The judge told the ex-president to be careful about what he says in court.

He is not allowed to say or show anything suggesting that he didn’t sexually assault Ms Carroll, that she made up the assault, or that she had a reason to lie.

Ms Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, who is not related to Judge Kaplan, said that Mr. Trump will try to create confusion with his testimony. She wants him to promise, in court, that he knows what he can and cannot say.

“Mr Trump may have many reasons to want to turn this trial into a circus, for his own personal or political gain,” she wrote in a memo to Judge Kaplan.

Mr Trump’s lawyer, Alina Habba, said that the former president knows about the court’s decision and the rules for his testimony.

The ex-president is in trouble with the law for trying to change the election results and for how he handled secret documents.

E Jean Carroll arrived at the Federal District Court in Manhattan on Monday morning for the commencement of a trial alleging the former president Donald Trump of rape.

On the opening day of the trial, a woman who accuses former President Donald Trump of raping her thirty years ago has come in court.

Just before nine on Tuesday morning, columnist E Jean Carroll arrived at the Federal District Court in Manhattan. She appeared to be smiling a little bit and was dressed in dark sunglasses, a dark shirt, and a light gray jacket.

Jury selection in the civil trial is scheduled to start over Carroll’s claim that Trump sexually assaulted her in a luxury department dressing room in the mid-1990s.

Carroll went through a security line alongside dozens of potential jurors.

A handful of protesters gathered near news cameras set up on Worth Street.

‘We support E Jean Carroll,’ her backers chanted. One man held a sign that read, ‘Trump is a rapist.’
