Former President Donald Trump and writer E. Jean Carroll have returned to court for the fifth day of their defamation trial in Manhattan. The trial follows a jury's decision in May that the former president was liable for sexually assaulting Ms. Carroll in 1996 and defaming her. Despite the previous jury's findings, Mr. Trump continues to deny the allegations.
As the proceedings begin on a rainy day in New York City, all eyes are on the former president. When he left Trump Tower, he appeared to be in high spirits, raising a fist in the air, signaling optimism about potentially testifying in his own defense. However, it remains uncertain whether he will actually take the stand during this trial.
