☆ Trump loses battle with E. Jean Carroll judge as testimony gets cut short
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-25 | by ( Jacob Shamsian | Laura Italiano | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +7 min

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.

On Monday, Trump's attorney Alina Habba said he intends to take the witness stand in his defense. Trump's two driving impulses — to fight the system and to take the witness stand — will create the judicial equivalent of a car wreck, experts told Business Insider. Alternatively, Trump can get on the witness stand and "try to testify in a narrative fashion," Jones said. Carroll's trial does have a jury, making it harder to "unring that bell" of forbidden testimony, Jones said. Or wager that he'll inflict wounds on himself by taking the witness stand?

☆ E. Jean Carroll trial delayed for a second time, postponing expected Trump testimony

Read previewTestimony in E. Jean Carroll's ongoing defamation trial against Donald Trump was postponed for the second day in a row, according to a notice posted to the court docket. 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.

The trial was delayed Monday for a juror COVID scare — and Tuesday is the New Hampshire primary. If the trial isn't delayed another day, as Trump's lawyers requested, he may lose his chance to take the stand. Well, that's the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary — and Trump made clear through his defense team Monday that he plans on being there. Now, that chain of events — a sick juror, and the New Hampshire primary — may well conspire to keep Trump off the witness stand entirely. AdvertisementThe judge paused the trial until Tuesday, but that day will be busy as well, given the New Hampshire primary.

Carroll said she deleted emails with death threats after Trump defamed her. "Plaintiff admitted that she deleted multiple email messages pertaining to purported death threats made to her," Habba wrote. Advertisement"Despite being served with a subpoena in connection with this action, Plaintiff failed to take reasonable steps to preserve relevant evidence," Habba wrote. "In fact, she did much worse — she actively deleted evidence which she now attempts to rely on in establishing her damages claim." Carroll testified that she received death threats "daily" and deleted them from her inbox and from replies to her social media posts.

$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.

"I think it's insanely prejudicial," Habba told US District Judge Lewis Kaplan Wednesday morning. AdvertisementUnder longstanding Supreme Court precedent, Kaplan said, Trump has a legal right to be represented at his trial either personally, or by lawyers standing in for him. The trial, which began Tuesday, is focused on two statements Trump made defaming Carroll in 2019. Carroll previously took Trump to trial last year, where a jury found him liable for sexually abusing her and defaming her in a different set of statements. Three days later, Habba asked for a one-week delay of the trial.
