E. Jean Carroll Testifies Trump Critic Conway Encouraged Her Lawsuit

The New York author who claims Donald Trump raped her in the 1990s testified at the trial of her civil lawsuit that one of the former president’s most outspoken critics played a key role in her decision to sue.

During questioning by Trump’s lawyer, E. Jean Carroll told jurors on Monday that she decided to take legal action within days of being encouraged to do so at a party by George Conway, co-founder of the Lincoln Project, a conservative super PAC that opposed Trump’s 2020 re-election bid. He’s also the husband of former Trump aide Kellyanne Conway.
