  • Former President Donald Trump is currently on trial in New York City for a defamation case brought by E. Jean Carroll, a former Elle magazine columnist who accused him of sexual abuse in the 1990s.
  • Trump is expected to attend the trial and may testify, despite his busy campaign schedule as he runs for the Republican presidential nomination.
  • Carroll's attorney argues that Trump's defamatory statements while he was president caused her to receive threats and damaged her reputation.
  • Trump's defense team argues that he was merely defending himself and that Carroll's career has actually prospered since she came forward with her allegations.
