"Lawyer Warns Trump's Tactics Could Turn Defamation Trial into Chaos"
A lawyer for columnist E. Jean Carroll, who won a $5 million jury award against Donald Trump for defamation, has warned the judge that Trump may seek to "sow chaos" during a new trial to consider additional damages. The lawyer urged the judge to take measures to prevent Trump from turning the trial into a circus and violating court orders. The trial will determine if Carroll is entitled to more damages for statements Trump made about her claims while he was president in 2019 and after the verdict last spring.
