Donald Trump and E. Jean Carroll.
Former President Donald Trump and E. Jean Carroll.
  • Trump attacked E. Jean Carroll even as her second defamation trial against him began.
  • Her lawyer urged jurors to "make him stop" by imposing monetary damages.
  • "Carroll had taken on the most powerful man on Earth, and she won. And even that didn't stop him," her lawyer said.

As E. Jean Carroll's second trial against Donald Trump began on Tuesday morning, the former president didn't relent.

On his Truth Social account, Trump continued to attack Carroll, calling the case a "witch hunt" and a "hoax" — even as a jury last year found he sexually abused her and defamed her by lying about it.
