Trump's Defamation Trial: No 'Access Hollywood' Tape Shown, Possible Testimony, and Legal Expert Critique

The "Access Hollywood" tape and two women who accused Donald Trump of abuse will not be presented to the jury in the defamation trial brought by E. Jean Carroll. Trump may testify in court, and the jury will decide if he owes more than the $5 million previously awarded to Carroll. Trump's lawyers had argued that he should be allowed to testify concerning the tape and the allegations of the other women, but the judge has limited what Trump can testify about. Carroll's lawyer plans to show the jury statements made by Trump since her client finished testifying, as they are relevant to the issue of punitive damages.
