Court papers unsealed Wednesday revealed a bitter behind-the-scenes dispute, during the trial of the lawsuit accusing former President Donald J. Trump of a sexual attack, over whether to dismiss a juror who said he got his news from an extreme right-wing podcaster. The juror, a 31-year-old man who said he had lived in the Bronx for all of his life, said during jury selection on April 25 that he tended to avoid news, but listened to “independent” podcasts “every now and then” and listed one example. The original transcription inaccurately captured the title as “Temple.” But lawyers for the writer E. Jean Carroll, who filed the lawsuit, later learned that the anonymous juror, identified only as Juror 77, had actually said he listened to Tim Pool. Mr. Pool’s YouTube channel includes dozens of recordings that push hard-right views. His podcast, which has been criticized as a vector for conspiracy theories, is called “The Culture War.”
