Carroll, one of more than a dozen women who accused Trump of sexual assault or harassment, went public in 2019 with her allegation that the Republican raped her in the dressing room of a posh Manhattan department store in the mid-1990s.

Trump, 76, chose not to attend the civil trial, but he has said he never encountered Carroll at the store and didn’t know her. He has called her a “nut job” who invented “a fraudulent and false story” to sell a memoir.

Carroll, 79, is seeking unspecified damages, plus a retraction of what she said were Trump’s defamatory denials of her claims.
