E Jean Carroll: Trump Faces Civil Trial for Rape Allegation.

Former President Donald Trump is facing a civil trial over an allegation that he raped an advice columnist nearly three decades ago.

Jury selection is due to begin on Tuesday in a New York federal court.

Mr Trump has denied E Jean Carroll’s accusation that he attacked her in a Manhattan department store.

He has said she made up the claim for publicity.

Donald Trump is facing a wave of other legal troubles, including more than two dozen felony counts over payment of hush money to an adult film actress and an investigation into his alleged role in the US Capitol riot on 6 January 2021.
