A federal judge has ruled that misogynistic remarks made by former President Donald Trump in 2005 can be used as evidence in a civil rape trial next month. The trial will hear quarter-century-old rape allegations made by a former magazine columnist, E. Jean Carroll, who said Trump raped her in the mid-1990s. Trump has denied the allegations and argued that the 2005 remarks were irrelevant to the case. The trial is scheduled to begin on June 16th and is expected to last three days.

A federal judge has ruled that the "Access Hollywood" tape featuring former President Donald Trump bragging about being able to grope women without their consent can be used as evidence in a defamation case brought against him by writer E. Jean Carroll. The ruling also allows for testimony from two women who allege they were sexually assaulted by Trump, and the trial is set to begin in October.

Jean Carroll, the columnist who alleges he raped her in the 1990s, as his ex-wife Marla Maples in a photograph during a deposition as part of a defamation lawsuit filed by Carroll.

The case is ongoing and a ruling is expected soon.
