Carroll sued Trump twice after she released a book in 2019, which claimed Trump raped her during a brief encounter with him in a department store dressing room in the 1990s.
Trump vigorously denied the claims, saying he had never met Carroll, that she was not his "type," and that she fabricated the incident to sell books. His vocal and repeated criticisms and denials led to Carroll's defamation allegations.
