"Trump's Dramatic Exit: The E. Jean Carroll Trial Unfolds"
Former President Donald Trump walked out of a New York courtroom as closing arguments began in writer E. Jean Carroll's defamation trial against him, with her attorney asking the jury to award at least $24 million in damages. Trump's attorney has already ruled that Trump's statements denying her claims were defamatory, and the jury is now tasked with deciding what damages Carroll is entitled to receive. This is the second defamation suit Carroll has filed against Trump, with the first trial resulting in a jury finding Trump liable for defamation and sexual abuse, and awarding Carroll $5 million.
