Donald Trump's Defamation Trial Could He Take the Stand?

Former President Donald Trump made his courtroom return in New York for a defamation trial filed by writer E. Jean Carroll. With potential multi-million dollar consequences, Trump's testimony could swing the trial.

Progress of the Trial

After a COVID-19 delay, the trial is progressing with Carroll's legal team presenting new evidence, including footage of a separate civil fraud case deposition, showing Trump boasting about his wealth and brand value.

The Lawsuit

The lawsuit centers on Trump's denial of sexually assaulting Carroll and claiming to have never met her. The jury has also seen threats received by Carroll, and Trump's ongoing denials continue to be a significant trial issue.

Regardless of Trump's repeated denials, the trial may lead to a significant legal outcome.
