Trump’s defamation trial brought by E. Jean Carroll will resume Tuesday after a possible COVID-19 exposure halted proceedings.
Testimony in former President Donald Trump’s defamation trial brought by E. Jean Carroll was postponed for a day because of COVID-19 concerns.
Before proceedings began Monday, Alina Habba, Trump’s lawyer, asked Judge Lewis Kaplan, who is overseeing the trial, for a one-day adjournment when she said she wasn’t feeling well after one or both of her parents were exposed to COVID.
Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, faces a second defamation trial Carroll, a former Elle columnist, that began last Tuesday and will determine how much Trump owes in damages.
