Former President Donald Trump's attorney, Alina Habba, announced today that Trump plans to testify in the ongoing defamation and sex abuse case against him by writer E. Jean Carroll. However, due to the New Hampshire primary, Trump is unable to appear in court tomorrow. Habba stated that Trump will testify on Wednesday instead.
Judge Kaplan, who is presiding over the case, did not make an immediate decision on this matter. In previous instances, Judge Kaplan has been reluctant to accommodate scheduling requests related to Trump's busy schedule. Last week, Habba requested an adjournment for Trump to attend his mother-in-law's funeral, but the judge denied this request, asserting that court proceedings would not be rearranged for that purpose.
