In court on Tuesday, E. Jean Carroll said that the president is trying “to stop the truth from ever coming out”

Jean Carroll publicly accused Donald Trump of raping her in the mid-1990s, the author and former Elle advice columnist announced she was seeking a DNA sample from him. Her legal team said their goal is to determine whether his genetic material is on the dress she was wearing during the alleged attack.
Carroll also revealed this week that she’d been fired from Elle following her accusations against Trump, tweeting, “Because Trump ridiculed my reputation, laughed at my looks, & dragged me through the mud, after 26 years, ELLE fired me. I don’t blame Elle. It was the great honor of my life writing ‘Ask E. Jean.’ I blame @realDonaldTrump.” The AP reported on Tuesday that the magazine ended its contract with Carroll in December, according to court documents.
According to the AP, Carroll’s lawyers contacted one of Trump’s attorneys last month, demanding that the president submit a DNA sample for “analysis and comparison against unidentified male DNA present on the dress.” This demand is part of Carroll’s defamation suit against Trump, which she filed last November, after he publicly denied her allegation and labeled her a liar.
