E Jean Carroll says she received death threats after accusing Trump of rape
The advice columnist said for the first time in her life she had bullets loaded into the handgun in her bedroom
E Jean Carroll, the esteemed New York journalist who has alleged Donald Trump raped her in the Bergdorf Goodman department store in Manhattan in the 1990s, now sleeps with a loaded gun by her bed having received online death threats.
In the course of a two-hour interview with the Guardian in her upstate New York cabin, the advice columnist described the fallout of her decision to go public last month with the most serious allegations of sexual assault yet leveled at the US president. She said she had received so many death threats that she had been forced to stop looking at her social media feeds and for the first time in her life had bullets loaded into the handgun in her bedroom.
