CNN —Three months ago, Donald Trump took the stand before a jury of nine in a New York courtroom without his typical bombast or ranting. “The record will reflect that Mr. Trump just rose and walked out of the courtroom,” Judge Lewis Kaplan announced, in case any jurors had missed it. “I mean, our whole case was about the fact that Donald Trump is unable to follow the law, unable to follow the rules. But just having political views about Trump, for or against, won’t be a reason for potential jurors to be dismissed. When Kaplan asked jurors a series of questions individually, Trump turned in his chair to watch each person speak.

New York CNN —It took Donald Trump less than 24 hours to test the boundaries of Judge Juan Merchan’s gag order in his New York criminal trial. Inside the courtroom, Trump has been admonished and threatened with removal for being disruptive. Outside the courtroom, Trump has repeatedly railed against the charges he faces in front of cameras and attacked all of those involved on social media. Engoron issued a gag order on commentary about court staff that covered his clerk, fining Trump twice for breaking it. In the federal classified documents case, Trump has appeared several times before Judge Aileen Cannon, whom he appointed.

☆ Trump again attacks E. Jean Carroll, as he appeals rape defamation penalties
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-11 | by ( Kevin Breuninger | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Donald Trump on Monday once again denied writer E. Jean Carroll's rape and defamation claims against him, despite facing nearly $90 million in civil penalties over similar denials. Carroll sued Trump in New York federal court for defaming her, after he denied the rape claim and accused her of trying to sell books. In 2022, Carroll sued Trump a second time for battery and defamation relating to the alleged rape and a subsequent denial after he left the White House. A federal civil jury last May awarded Carroll $5 million in damages in that case after finding Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation. In January, another federal civil jury in Manhattan ordered Trump to pay $83.3 million for defaming Carroll through the statements he made as president.

After that case, Trump put the funds in a court-controlled account while he appealed the case.

"He provides no demonstration that any of these assets are readily collectible and will remain readily collectible throughout the pendency of an appeal," Kaplan wrote.

The vast majority — nearly $40 million — went to law firms working on his personal legal problems. But significant portions of their donations went to law firms defending Trump in civil cases involving his real-estate empire and its top executives, including Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Ivanka Trump. Only about $861,000 was spent on law firms working exclusively on political issues. Where there were gaps, we contacted law firms and individual lawyers who received money from the PACs.

A federal jury ordered Donald Trump to pay E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million in damages on Friday. During the defamation trial, Trump and his attorney appeared to frequently frustrate the presiding judge. The jury deliberated for under three hours before delivering their verdict, which included $18.8 million in compensatory damages and $65 million in punitive damages for Carroll. Juries tend to grow attached to their presiding trial judge, Jones said, adding that they often come to see the judge as a protector of sorts. The $83.3 million in damages are on top of $5 million in damages Carroll won during the May 2023 trial.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump departs for his second civil trial after E. Jean Carroll accused Trump of raping her decades ago, outside a Trump Tower in the Manhattan borough of New York City, U.S., January 26, 2024. "The record will reflect that Mr. Trump just rose and walked out of the courtroom," said Judge Lewis Kaplan. Trump's comments have sparked death threats and vicious emails and tweets directed at Carroll, the lawyer said. "You are not going to use a slide to represent how many tweets there were, you are not using that slide, period," Judge Kaplan said. Carroll's lawyers have complained during the trial about Trump making comments that were audible to jurors while sitting with his attorneys at the defense table.

Read previewA federal jury has agreed Friday that Donald Trump must pay E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million for defaming her. The unanimous jury verdict in Manhattan comes as Trump remains the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination for a likely rematch with President Joe Biden in November. "We're very happy," Carroll's attorney, Roberta Kaplan, told Business Insider soon after the verdict was read. Judge Kaplan forbade Trump or his attorneys from arguing that he didn't sexually assault Carroll. In his jury instructions, Judge Kaplan reminded the nine New Yorkers sitting there that they must accept Trump's sexual assault as an already-established fact.

A jury last year agreed that it happened and awarded Carroll $5 million in damages for sexual abuse and defamation. Trump denies ever knowing Carroll and says she made up her claims to sell a memoir. He did not testify at or attend last year's trial, a decision he now says he regrets. Thus, Kaplan has ruled, Trump will be barred from testifying about subjects that would conflict with last year's verdict. The current trial is in addition to four criminal cases Trump faces as the presidential primary season heats up.

Sections of the deposition, where Trump denied raping Carroll and said she was "not my type," were played for the jury earlier on Thursday. Three times — twice before his testimony, and once afterward — Trump griped loudly about getting a raw deal from Carroll and the court system. Then, minutes before his testimony, and with the jury still not in the courtroom, Trump piped up again. Judge Kaplan concluded that Trump was liable for defaming Carroll when he called her a liar in 2019 and that the second trial would be only on damages. As Carroll and Kaplan then left the courtroom, Business Insider asked them if they had any response to Trump's parting remark.

$12.1 million in compensatory damages for Carroll to fix her reputation, however, is only the tip of the iceberg. The jury in that case awarded Carroll $5 million in combined compensatory and punitive damages. Her attorneys have asked for punitive damages to "make him stop" defaming her. Punitive damages could also send a message to other wealthy people that they cannot get away with lying about sexual abuse victims. Carroll, finishing her testimony in the trial Thursday, said her reputation has been marred by Trump's attacks.
