Trump goes back to court as E. Jean Carroll’s defamation trial begins

The ongoing trial between Donald Trump and E. Jean Carroll is being presided over by Judge Lewis A. Kaplan in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The trial is focused on determining the amount of damages Trump may have to pay in the defamation case brought by Carroll. Judge Kaplan has warned Trump that he could be barred from the trial if he is disruptive or disregards court orders. Trump's verbal outbursts during Carroll's testimony have prompted the judge to issue these warnings. The trial is a continuation of the legal battle between Trump and Carroll, with the first trial finding Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation, and ordering him to pay $5 million in damages.
