"Trump's Potential Testimony in Defamation Trial: Limits and Lessons"
Former President Donald Trump may testify in the defamation trial over his 2019 comments branding E. Jean Carroll a liar who faked a sexual attack to sell a memoir, but the court has limited what he can say, ruling that he won’t be allowed to claim she concocted her allegation or was motivated by financial or political considerations. Trump has expressed contempt for the case, complaining about a "witch hunt" and a "con job" during Carroll's testimony and holding a news conference to deplore the "nasty judge." Despite facing multiple legal challenges, Trump is expected to travel to a campaign event in New Hampshire after Monday's court session.
