Jury Deliberates in Trump Rape Trial After Damning Closing Arguments.

The jury in the civil rape trial against Donald Trump begins deliberations as his wife Melania Trump reiterates her support for his presidential bid. Meanwhile, a Washington Post-ABC News survey shows that despite mounting legal troubles, Trump remains the favorite among Republicans for their nominee next year and beats Joe Biden in a general election mashup. In the trial, E Jean Carroll is suing for unspecified damages, claiming that Trump raped her in a department store dressing room in 1996, which he denies. Biden will meet with congressional leaders to break a logjam over raising the debt ceiling, and Democrats on the Senate judiciary committee have sent letters to Republican megadonor Harlan Crow and his businesses demanding details about their links to supreme court justices.
