High-profile trial continues in New York with former President in attendance

In a high-profile trial in New York City, a well-known public figure accused a former president of sexual assault, with both parties presenting their cases in a courtroom. The accuser denied benefitting from the publicity surrounding the allegations, while the defendant's attorney aimed to demonstrate that the accuser had achieved the recognition she desired after publishing a memoir detailing the alleged assault. The accuser mentioned facing increased infamy and receiving death threats since coming forward with the accusations. The former president, who was recently attending the trial, was absent due to other commitments. The defense counsel also sought to demonstrate that the negative attention the accuser received was not solely due to the former president's statements. The trial is expected to continue, with the jury ultimately determining the damages to be awarded.
