In a high-stakes defamation trial against former President Donald Trump, his attorney, Alina Haba, has begun her closing arguments after Trump briefly walked out during the plaintiff's lawyers' presentation. E. Jean Carroll, the plaintiff in the case, accused Trump of rape in the mid-1990s, which he vehemently denied.
Haba opened her closing argument by stating that Carroll is attempting to blame a former president for negative comments made on social media platforms, without taking any personal responsibility. The defense aims to distance Trump from the barrage of offensive emails, tweets, and messages that Carroll received following his denial of the rape allegations.
