Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump appears at a caucus night party in Des Moines, Iowa, Monday, January 15, 2024
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.
International solidarity can ensure that Trump and his machine cannot prevail without a level of political and economic cost that he will not want to pay, argues CLAUDIA WEBBE
