"Trump's Defamation Trial: Lawyer Rules Out 'Access Hollywood' Tape as Evidence"

In the defamation case against Donald Trump by writer E. Jean Carroll, her lawyer announced that the "Access Hollywood" tape and two other women who accused Trump of abuse will not be presented to the New York jurors, aiming to keep the trial focused on Carroll's accusations. This revelation suggests that Trump's testimony in the case may occur sooner than expected, possibly on Monday, just before the Republican primary in New Hampshire. Carroll seeks $10 million in compensatory damages and millions more in punitive damages, while Trump faces multiple legal challenges ahead of the 2024 election.
