Trump opted not to present a defence, gambling that jurors will find that Carroll had failed to make a persuasive case.
Trump has yet to attend the trial, which began on April 25, but told reporters in Ireland last Thursday that he “probably” would attend. U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who is not related to Carroll’s lawyer, said he expected jurors to begin deliberating on Tuesday.Carroll, 79, filed her lawsuit last year against Trump, 76, claiming he raped her in a dressing room at the Bergdorf Goodman department store in Manhattan in 1995 or 1996, and then defamed her by denying it happened.
Her defamation claim concerns an October 2022 post on Trump’s Truth Social platform in which he called her allegations a “complete con job” and “a Hoax and a lie.” He has also said Carroll was “not my type.”“It’s the most ridiculous, disgusting story,” Trump said in the video, hunched over a conference table as Carroll’s lawyers presented documents to him. “It’s just made up.
“Three different women, decades apart, but one single pattern of behavior,” Roberta Kaplan said, arguing that Trump’s defense was asking jurors to believe the “ridiculous” claim that the other witnesses conspired to lie. “He is asking you to take his word for it over the word of literally everyone else.”
