Star witness E. Jean Carroll testifies, seeks million in defamation damages against Trump

E. Jean Carroll testified that her status was lowered after suing Trump for defamation.

In a defamation damages trial against former President Donald Trump, the star witness, E. Jean Carroll, concluded her testimony today. Carroll, who has accused Trump of raping her, stated that her reputation was damaged when Trump denied the allegations. In May, a federal civil jury found that Trump had sexually abused Carroll in the past. The ongoing trial aims to determine the amount of damages Trump should pay Carroll, who is seeking over $10 million.

During her testimony, Carroll mentioned that her status was diminished due to the statements made by Trump. The judge has already established the veracity of Carroll's claims, considering them to be defamatory. Trump, who faced potential removal from the courtroom due to disruptive behavior, was absent from today's proceedings as he attended his mother-in-law's funeral in Florida.
