"Trump Team's Defense Strategy in E. Jean Carroll Defamation Case Raises Concerns"

In the ongoing defamation trial against Donald Trump, his defense team argued that journalist E. Jean Carroll may have benefited from the increased publicity following her rape accusation against Trump, despite her testimony that her reputation and status were damaged. The defense also attempted to separate Trump's words from the attacks by his supporters and questioned whether positive feedback offset the negative impact on Carroll's reputation. The trial, marked by clumsy cross-examinations and rebukes from the judge, is determining whether Trump should pay additional damages for denying the assault.
