"Trump Defamation Trial Delayed Due to COVID Exposure and Juror Illness"
The civil defamation trial against Donald Trump was canceled due to COVID exposure, as his lawyer revealed potential exposure after dining with her infected parents. The trial, in which E. Jean Carroll is seeking $10 million in damages for sexual abuse and defamation, is set to resume on Wednesday, with Trump's attendance uncertain due to the New Hampshire presidential primary election. Despite not being required to appear, Trump had previously stated his intention to attend all trial days.
