☆ E. Jean Carroll’s Second Defamation Trial Could Hit Trump’s Wallet Again
  + stars: | 2024-01-16 | by ( Corinne Ramey | James Fanelli | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
Donald Trump secured 51% of the vote in the Iowa caucuses on Monday, while Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley lagged behind with 21% and 19%. WSJ Senior Political Correspondent Molly Ball explains what the results mean for the Republican nomination race. An additional trial began Tuesday to determine whether he’ll have to pay her even more. Carroll, an author and former Elle magazine columnist, made her sexual-assault allegations against Trump public in 2019, when New York Magazine published an excerpt of her book, which alleged he assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room. In the aftermath, she filed a pair of related lawsuits against Trump.

The nearly monthlong trial, in courtroom 26A in downtown Manhattan, of one-time crypto billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried was courtroom drama. The line to get into the courthouse could start as early as 11:30 p.m. the night before, and, on some days, courtroom slots were claimed by 4:30 a.m. Anyone who didn’t make it into the courtroom could watch the action on TV screens in overflow rooms. There, it could get rowdy, with laughing or heckling in response to witness testimony.

Photo: jane rosenberg/ReutersSam Bankman-Fried faced his biggest test in the legal hot seat Monday, grilled by a federal prosecutor who was intent on poking holes through the FTX founder’s claims that unfortunate management mistakes, not criminal activity, were to blame for the crypto exchange’s collapse. The fallen crypto star, testifying in his own defense in New York against fraud and other charges, began by confidently answering questions from his own lawyer, saying he had been honest with customers and investors and believed his business empire was in good financial shape. The trial proceedings shifted quickly after Assistant U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon began her cross-examination and sought to confront Bankman-Fried with a litany of his past public statements whose truthfulness she questioned.

WSJ’s Alexander Osipovich breaks down what happened to FTX and what to look for as the trial unfolds. Photo illustration: Annie ZhaoFTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried previewed a potential defense Thursday when he told a federal judge that he relied on the blessing of lawyers to make business decisions such as deleting communications and making loans to himself, actions that prosecutors said allowed him to commit the crimes that led to the implosion of his crypto exchange. Bankman-Fried, on trial for fraud, money laundering and other offenses, had been expected to testify in front of a Manhattan federal jury on Thursday afternoon. Instead, in what amounted to an unusual practice session after the jury was dismissed for the day, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan required the FTX founder to walk through several subjects that were in dispute so the judge could rule on what Bankman-Fried could say to jurors.

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried , known for his appetite for risky bets, is mulling perhaps his biggest gamble yet: testifying in his own defense. The onetime crypto star, on trial in New York on allegations of fraud, money laundering and other offenses, has spent nearly three weeks watching some of his former close friends and colleagues take the stand and offer what appeared to be damning testimony. Bankman-Fried, they told jurors, knowingly directed and committed an array of criminal acts that led to the collapse of the FTX crypto exchange and the loss of billions of dollars in customer funds.
