E. Jean Carroll
Background
AI-generatedE. Jean Carroll is an American writer and former magazine columnist who won civil verdicts against Donald Trump after accusing him of sexual abuse and defamation.
Role
Carroll is known primarily as the plaintiff in two high-profile civil lawsuits against Donald Trump, in which juries found him liable for sexual abuse and for defaming her when he denied her allegations. She previously worked for decades as a magazine writer and advice columnist.
Background
Carroll built a career in journalism, including a long-running advice column, before publicly alleging in 2019 that Trump had assaulted her in a department store in the 1990s. She sued him for defamation after he denied the account, and a related case addressed his subsequent public statements about her; juries awarded her substantial damages, which Trump has appealed.
