Carroll is taking part in her first post-trial interview that could see her share more details on the court victory.

Why It's Important: The interview is expected to cover the damages awarded to Carroll and also discuss a potential appeal by Trump and his lawyers.

Another angle that could be covered during Monday's interview is whether Carroll's lawyers will file a third lawsuit against Trump if he continues to make comments about the journalist and potentially defames her again.

The interview on "The Rachel Maddow Show" comes as Trump is the frontrunner for the GOP nomination of the 2024 presidential election and faces a packed calendar of court dates during his campaign trail.
