NEW YORK — Former Elle columnist E. Jean Carroll hugged her attorneys on her way into Manhattan federal court Tuesday at the start of her defamation and battery case against former President Donald Trump.

Carroll, who brought the lawsuit in November, alleges that Trump defamed her in a 2022 Truth Social post by calling her allegations"a Hoax and a lie" and saying"This woman is not my type!" when he denied her claim that Trump raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in the 1990s.

"The name of the game here is utter fairness and impartiality," Kaplan said."The job of the jury will be to decide what did or didn't happen at the department store, whether Ms. Carroll was or wasn't raped" -- and whether she should be compensated and whether defamation occurred, the judge said. The civil trial is being heard a block from the criminal courthouse where Trump pleaded not guilty earlier this month to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection with an alleged hush money payment to an adult film actress.
