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.

Were they asked if they had any affiliation with groups including BLM, Moms Demand Action, Antifa, Democratic Underground, and other far-left and extremist entities?
I wonder if her memory will be as fuzzy on the pertinent details as Blassy Ford’s was.
It’s a Manhattan jury. The outcome is not in doubt.
Is it just her word against his? I think I read she could not pinpoint the year it was supposed to have happened.

Knock if off with the keyword abuse!
now hush...
Just looked it up. She cannot pinpoint the year, as per her book.
The judge will allow the Hollywood Access tapes to be played at the trial. That is laughable. It will be overturned just on that alone if Trump is convicted.
She is batshit crazy.
.
There is other subject matter regarding Ukraine that should be met with the same diligence.
“QAnon, the Ku Klux Klan, the Proud Boys and other far-right and extremist entities.
What are groups run by the FBI?
That’s what I wondered too.
When are Trump’s illegal gambling, drunk & disorderly conduct and puppy abuse cases scheduled to be heard?
When did Trump stop beating his wife?
This is Stormy Daniels, right?
DJT’s mistress for many years, even during Melania’s pregnancy.
Hope she wins a bundle.
In her walk-in closet? Inquiring minds want to know.
No.
‘When did Trump stop beating his wife?’
which one...?
