This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. The ongoing trial concerns additional defamation damages for two statements Trump made in 2019, while he was president, disparaging Carroll by calling her dishonest and insulting her appearance. On Truth Social and at rallies, he's continued calling Carroll a liar and claims he doesn't know who she is. Chris Mattei, an attorney who represented family members of Sandy Hook shooting victims in their defamation trial against conspiracy theorist Alex Jomes, told Business Insider it would be pointless for Trump to testify.
