TL;DR Summary

Donald Trump's lawyer has renewed a mistrial request in the defamation case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll, accusing her of spoiling the case by deleting emails containing death threats. The trial, focused on damages, pertains to statements Trump made in response to Carroll's sexual abuse claims. The lawyer also argued that Carroll had a duty to mitigate any harm caused by Trump's public statements, while Carroll's attorney countered that survivors of sexual abuse should not be silenced in the face of public defamation. The trial resumes Monday, with Trump expected to testify.
