Ahead of the start of the E Jean Carroll civil trial against Donald Trump, lawyers for Ms Carroll are asking the New York City judge overseeing the case to prevent the former president from disputing the facts of the case to the jury.
“If Mr Trump appears at this trial, whether as a witness or otherwise, his recent statements and behavior strongly suggest that he will seek to sow chaos,” Roberta Kaplan, an attorney for Ms Carroll said in a filing on Friday.
