In 2019, Carroll alleged that Trump had sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the mid-1990s; Trump promptly denied the allegation while deriding Carroll at rallies and in TV interviews as "totally lying" and "not my type." Ask E. Jean follows Carroll as she prepares for the trial, revealing why she buried what had happened for so long; it captures, too, her profound discomfort while she's badgered during depositions by Trump's legal team, and her eventual victory.

Donald Trump now cannot claim presidential immunity to get off the hook from paying $83.3m in damages to the writer E Jean Carroll, a federal appeals court ruled on Monday, upholding a jury's 2024 award against the president for defamation. Trump's lawyers had pointed to the supreme court's ruling last year saying the president has immunity for official acts to argue that the damages should be overturned.

Simply re-litigating a case is not an appropriate use of the process. All four were appointed by President Joe Biden, Trump's one-time Democratic rival.
