Trump Defamation Trial: Former President Expected to Attend and May Testify

E. Jean Carroll's attorney argues Trump's defamatory statements caused her to receive threats and damaged her reputation.

Former President Donald Trump is currently on trial in New York City for a defamation case brought by E. Jean Carroll, a former Elle magazine columnist who accused him of sexual abuse in the 1990s.
Trump is expected to attend the trial and may testify, despite his busy campaign schedule as he runs for the Republican presidential nomination.
Carroll's attorney argues that Trump's defamatory statements while he was president caused her to receive threats and damaged her reputation.
Trump's defense team argues that he was merely defending himself and that Carroll's career has actually prospered since she came forward with her allegations.
The trial is expected to last a few days, with Carroll slated to testify on Wednesday.
