Trump's Defense Strategy in Rape Trial: No Defense Case and Multiple Accusers Testify.

Former President Donald Trump's lawyers will not present a defense case in his civil trial over allegations he raped writer E. Jean Carroll in the 1990s. Trump initially had an expert witness lined up to rebut Carroll's claims, but that witness is now unable to testify due to "health issues," Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina told U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan. Carroll is suing Trump for battery and defamation. Trump has denied Carroll's accusations and called her claims a "hoax" and a "con job."
