The jury is poised to hear a reprisal of stories of sexual misconduct that rocked his 2016 presidential campaign.
Jury selection is scheduled to begin Tuesday in a trial over former advice columnist's E. Jean Carroll's claim that former President Donald Trump raped her nearly three decades ago in a department store dressing room. He denies it.
The trial also comes a month after he pleaded not guilty in an unrelated criminal case surrounding payments made to bury accounts of alleged extramarital sex. Since Carroll first made her accusations in a 2019 memoir, Trump has vehemently denied that a rape ever occurred or that he even knew Carroll, a longtime columnist for Elle magazine.
Jurors will also see the infamous 2005 "Access Hollywood" video in which Trump is heard making misogynistic remarks about women, including an assertion that celebrities can grab, even sexually, women without asking. The jurors' names will be withheld from both the public and the lawyers, to protect them against possible harassment.
"If the Secret Service can protect him at that event, certainly the Secret Service, the Marshals Service, and the City of New York can see to his security in this very secure federal courthouse," Kaplan wrote in an order.
