FORMER US president Donald Trump was due in court today to face another legal challenge, following his record-breaking win in the Iowa caucuses.

Mr Trump was set to face trial to determine how much more he owes the writer E Jean Carroll for denying that he had sexually assaulted her in the 1990s and accusing her of lying when she made her allegations.

In May, a different court awarded Ms Carroll $5 million (around £3.9m) after concluding that Mr Trump had sexually abused her in a department store dressing room in the spring of 1996, then defamed her in 2022 by claiming that she had made the incident up after she revealed it publicly in a 2019 memoir.
