Donald Trump CNN town hall channel, streaming links and timing confirmed following trial

Former President Donald Trump is set to take part in a town hall style event taking questions from Republican voters in his first TV appearance since jurors ruled against him on a sexual assault trial.

This comes a day after nine jurors said he sexually abused and defamed writer E. Jean Carroll following a seven-day trial held at a federal court in New York City.

The town hall in New Hampshire has been organised by CNN and will be hosted by anchor Kaitlan Collins, who was once barred from a press event at the White House after asking Trump about the Michael Cohen tapes.

Trump has repeatedly described CNN reporters as "fake news."

The Wednesday night event will be held at Saint Anselm College, Goffstown, in New Hampshire.

CNN was slammed on social media for giving air time to the former President following his trial.

Mr Trump, who is the first US president to face criminal charges, also faces 34 felony charges in relation to alleged hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels in the run up to the 2020 election.

The payments were made to cover up an alleged extramarital affair, according to authorities.

Town hall time and where to watch

It is set to begin at 8pm Eastern Time on Wednesday. This is 1am Thursday in the UK.

To follow the event live, go to CNN's homepage and we shall also be bringing you more updates on Mirror Online on what he has to say.

CNN’s Republican Presidential Town Hall with Donald Trump moderated by CNN Anchor Kaitlan Collins will stream live, without requiring a cable log-in, on CNN.com’s homepage and across mobile devices via CNN’s apps for iOS and Android, and CNN OTT and mobile apps under “TV Channels,” or CNNgo where available.

What happened with the E. Jean Carroll case?

The court case involving E. Jean Carroll and Donald Trump is likely to come up in the town hall.

Yesterday jurors found that former US President Donald Trump did not rape columnist E. Jean Carroll but did sexually abuse her.

Mr Trump was accused of sexually assaulting E. Jean Carroll in a department store and then defaming her by stating she made up the story.

The verdict was announced in a federal courtroom in New York City on Tuesday, May 9, after a nine-person jury spent just three hours deciding the civil claims of battery and defamation in Ms Carroll's case.

Ms Carroll, 79, will be awarded a total of $5m in damages, $2.7m of which are compensatory and $280,000 of which are punitive after Mr Trump was found to have defamed E Jean Carroll in October 2022 after he posted on Truth social and called her allegations a "con job."

The jury also awarded $20,000 in punitive damages against Mr Trump over a claim of battery made by Ms Carroll.

After the ruling Ms Carroll said in a statement: "I filed this lawsuit against Donald Trump to clear my name and to get my life back. Today, the world finally knows the truth. This victory is not just for me but for every woman who has suffered because she was not believed.

"I would like to express my deep and lasting gratitude to all those who have stood by me from the start, especially my incredible and fearless legal team, led by Robbie Kaplan, who never, ever backed down in pursuit of truth and justice."
