Writer E. Jean Carroll's second defamation trial against former President Donald Trump was adjourned Monday in Manhattan for a sick juror, per CNN. U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan offered to continue with eight of the nine jurors present, which Carroll's team said would be fine, but Trump attorney Alina Habba asked for an adjournment.
The absent juror reportedly tested positive for COVID. Habba, who was not wearing a mask while sitting next to Trump, told the judge that she had a fever and had dinner with her parents before they tested positive for COVID but said her test came back negative.
