Donald Trump E jean Carroll side by side
Donald Trump and E. Jean Carroll.
  • E. Jean Carroll's second trial against Donald Trump, in January 2024, will only cover damages.
  • An earlier jury already settled that Trump raped Carroll, a judge ruled.
  • Carroll's other pending lawsuit, over statements Trump made as president, was mired in courts.

A federal judge granted E. Jean Carroll a major victory in her remaining lawsuit against Donald Trump, concluding the former president raped her and a jury only needs to determine how much money he should pay her in damages.
