E Jean Carroll testifies at Donald Trump defamation trial | BBC News

E Jean Carroll has testified that Donald Trump "shattered" her reputation after she accused him of sexually assaulting her in the 1990s.

The judge threatened to kick the former president out of the federal court in Manhattan after he was overheard criticising her testimony.

This is the former Elle columnist's second civil defamation case against Mr Trump. She is seeking $10m (£8m).

Mr Trump, 77, has denied her accusation and continues to do so.

Last May, a jury found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation, though not for rape, and awarded Ms Carroll $5m. That trial was based on his 2022 remarks that her story was a "con job" and "hoax".

How can you find someone guilty of sexual assault with no evidence?!

[thomasschierer]

35 years after the fact she was broke and said hey I have a idea, should have been thrown out long ago.

[sheenayoung]

I love how the BBC is treating this story as really important, there is no evidence to support the accusations, but that won't stop the MSM from reporting this nonsense propaganda.

[julieoxberry]

He has been found gultiy of sexual assault and defaming her in May.
This hearing is about how much he has to pay her. It is not about whether or not he did the crime as he has been found guilty of that.

[davehue]

She doesn't remember when something happened, what year and now destroys woman is a true nut

[renderuthis]

Fake news This is the stupids case I have ever heard of. He was a defendant in a trial and he cant say that? Just because the world can hear he still has a right to say why he would not do her. I have never heard of such BS.

[messrsandersonco]

He acts like a child in court as well? What a surprise to discover he has no impulse control!

[yerwincubillo]

This Laws need to be change how come somebody come 30 years later to claim that she was raped, ridiculous. She was arround 50 I don't think that Donald will be interested with lots of younger and beautiful women available.

[louellacentina]

Whatever the issues, Trump has a sharp tongue and very much confidence of his status and background coming from a rich family, he fits as an actor but not as a leader.

[rsKayiira]

E Jean Carroll's interview with Anderson Cooper was bizarre

[dogpoofairy]

This is the most ridiculous case against Trump ever. It doesn't even deserve coverage.
