Trump's Defamation Trial Delayed Amid Testy Legal Battles
TL;DR Summary
E. Jean Carroll's defamation trial against Donald Trump is underway, with the jury tasked with determining the punitive damages necessary to deter Trump from continuing to defame her. Despite winning her first trial and being awarded $5 million, Trump has persisted in making disparaging remarks and false denials. The ongoing trial has been marked by Trump's contemptuousness for the justice system, forcing lawyers to continually submit new evidence. The jury faces the challenge of determining a punitive damages figure that will effectively deter Trump from smearing Carroll in the future.
