A federal judge in New York on Wednesday granted writer E. Jean Carroll's motion for partial summary judgment in her 2019 defamation case against former President Donald Trump. Carroll, a former Elle magazine columnist, sued Trump in 2019 over allegedly defamatory statements he made while he was president in which he said she was "not my type" while denying that he raped her in a Manhattan department store dressing room in the mid-1990s. This past May, Carroll won a related second case accusing Trump of battery and defamation based on a 2022 statement Trump made in which he accused her of lying. Jury members found that Trump did not rape Carroll but sexually abused her, and awarded her a total of $5 million. MORE: Top 5 moments of E.
