Trump's Legal Battles: From Defamation Trials to Judge Attacks

TL;DR Summary
The "Access Hollywood" tape and two women who accused Donald Trump of abuse will not be presented to the New York jury in the defamation trial brought by writer E. Jean Carroll. Trump may testify as early as Monday, and the jury is considering whether he owes more than the $5 million awarded to Carroll last spring. Trump's lawyers had argued that he is entitled to testify concerning the tape and the allegations of the other women, but the judge has severely limited what Trump can testify about. Carroll's lawyer plans to show the jury statements Trump has made since her client finished testifying, as they are relevant to the issue of punitive damages.
