E. Jean Carroll lawyers tried to exclude juror who listened to "notorious far-right Youtuber," documents show

Attorneys for the writer E. Jean Carroll tried during the trial of her civil lawsuit against former President Donald Trump to remove a juror, after learning that he listened to a "notorious far-right" podcaster, court documents show. The request was denied and the juror ultimately joined eight other jurors in delivering a unanimous verdict in favor of Carroll.

The federal trial in New York City stemmed from allegations that Trump raped Carroll in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s, and then defamed her publicly when she spoke out about it several years ago.

In one of numerous filings that were unsealed on Wednesday, Carroll's attorneys pushed for the dismissal of Juror No. 77, a 31-year-old man who said during jury selection that he lived in the Bronx all of his life. He said he has "no kids that I know of" and generally avoided the news but listened "every now and then" to podcasts, which he described as "mainly independent."
