Donald Trump will find himself facing three sexual assault accusers instead of one if the writer who claims he raped her in the 1990s persuades a judge to let two other women testify at trial.
E. Jean Carroll went public in 2019 with her claim that Trump raped her in a department store dressing room, and sued him for defamation when he called her a liar from the White House. The former president argued last week that the other women’s claims are irrelevant to a defamation case and that their allegations don’t rise to the level of “sexual assault” anyway.
