A polished Carroll, 79, showed up to the federal courthouse flanked by lawyers and wearing a cream-colored coat, sunglasses and carrying a maroon briefcase as her supporters chanted “We believe E. Jean Carroll.” Trump, 76, was not present.
A jury of six men and three women had been chosen by early afternoon — but not before a pool of 48 prospects were grilled by the judge, including about their political leanings.
The potential jurors were asked a multitude of questions, such as whether they had any affiliation with groups including QAnon, the Ku Klux Klan, the Proud Boys and other far-right and extremist entities.
Only 12 of the 48 told the judge they could not be fair if chosen to sit on the panel – and were summarily dismissed.
The nine jurors eventually selected to hear the case range in age from 26 to 66.
They include a library worker, a physical therapist, a janitor, a high school worker, two men who work in security, two healthcare facility employees and a retired healthcare worker.
Jurors are expected to hear opening statements from lawyers on both sides later Tuesday.
Carroll filed suit against Trump in November alleging that the 45th president raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman fitting room in the mid-1990s.
The former “Ask E. Jean” advice columnist is also suing Trump, 76, claiming he defamed her when he denied her accusations and even claimed to not know her.

Why did he start the civil war? And the Flood? He was also the reason the Titanic sank.Him and Putin are the cause of all the ills of the World. From ass burn to sun burn.
OK.
I can’t keep track of all his women.
The photo would damage a she’s not my type defense.
The only way anyone would have sex with that is if they were paid to do it
High-end department stores have top-notch security.
The dressing room entrances would have been videotaped.
If I have this right, the trial isn’t actually about rape. It’s about the “crazy “ part. Trump said she was and she/he/it is sueing him for that-——the poof would seem to be in the bat part?
When presented with that photo at his deposition, Trump mistook Carroll for his ex-wife Marla Maples.
You may remember that Trump had an adulterous affair with Maples while he was married to Ivana.
And by mentioning Trump's adultery, the True Believers will now be in favor of adultery.
Apparently the jury will be anonymous. Quite unusual for a civil trial.
Yeah apparently being a far left extremist is totally awesome though..of course Trump will be found liable even though he’s never met this crazy b*tch

It reads like the two women would be credible witnesses.
However, Trump was so rich it would have been absurd not to consult with a lawyer.
She would have gotten a ‘Hell No!’ or a really, really big check.
He gagger I am having a hard time telling you apart from my radical lesbian sister-in-law. She hates Trump too.
It is helpful to read the actual article.
