E. Jean Carroll, a 79-year-old columnist, testified that Donald Trump raped her in a department store's dressing room two decades before he became president. Carroll said that she never reported the rape to police because she was conditioned to keep her chin up and not complain as a member of the "silent generation." Trump's lawyer, Joe Tacopina, questioned Carroll about why she didn't go to authorities about the alleged rape, to which Carroll replied that she was ashamed of what happened and that the reason was generational. The trial is expected to last through the week.
