"Trump's Potential Testimony and Tactics in E. Jean Carroll Defamation Lawsuit"
Former President Donald Trump's behavior in a civil trial, where he is being sued for defamation by writer E. Jean Carroll, has raised concerns due to the strict and no-nonsense approach of Judge Lewis A. Kaplan. Trump's intention to testify in the case has legal experts warning that his courtroom behavior could lead to humiliation and potential contempt of court charges, given Kaplan's history of holding individuals accountable for disruptive conduct. The judge has reprimanded Trump and his lead lawyer for their behavior in the courtroom, asserting control over the proceedings and shutting down attempts to bend the rules.
