Elle<\/em> magazine advice columnist $5 million over a similar October 2022 denial.<\/p>\nKaplan has ruled that the first trial established that Trump defamed and sexually abused Carroll. The only issue for jurors in the second trial is how much money Trump should pay Carroll, if any. She is seeking at least $10m.<\/p>\n
Trump has consistently denied that anything happened and accused Carroll of making up their encounter to boost sales of her then-new memoir. He is appealing the $5m verdict.<\/p>\n
Habba asked Kaplan to let Trump testify on Wednesday so that he could be in New Hampshire on Tuesday for the state\u2019s Republican presidential primary.<\/p>\n
Carroll\u2019s lawyer Roberta Kaplan, who is not related to the judge, opposed the request, saying she was nearly done presenting her case.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe think we should finish tomorrow,\u201d Kaplan said.<\/p>\n
The judge said he will decide later whether Trump can testify.<\/p>\n
\u201cCircumstances may result in your getting what you ask for, and maybe not,\u201d he told Habba.<\/p>\n

Last Wednesday, Judge Kaplan warned Trump he might be ejected for being disruptive in the courtroom after a lawyer for Carroll said jurors might have overheard Trump loudly proclaim the trial a \u201cwitch hunt\u201d and \u201ccon job.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI would love it,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know you would,\u201d Kaplan replied.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
