Writer E. Jean Carroll's sexual assault and defamation case against former President Trump, whom she alleged raped her in the 1990s, resumed Monday in federal court in New York following a failed request by Trump's attorney for the case to be declared a mistrial.
Why it matters: At least 26 women, including Carroll, have made public allegations of sexual misconduct or assault against Trump over the years, but only a few resulted in litigation and none have gone to trial. Trump has denied the allegations against him.
