E. Jean Carroll is considering pursuing legal action against President Trump, she has told The Daily Beast.
Carroll recently hit the headlines when she claimed that Trump raped her in Bergdorf Goodman in the mid-’90s.
The alleged assault occurred long before New York lifted its statute of limitations against rape, but Carroll said she is “thinking about hiring a really smart attorney” to pursue legal action against Trump.
