With Donald Trump looking on, writer E. Jean Carroll testified Wednesday that the former president shattered her reputation and continues to inspire hatred against her from strangers because she claimed he sexually abused her decades ago.

A jury last year found that Trump sexually abused her in a mid-1990s encounter at a Manhattan department store, and defamed her in an October 2022 Truth
