Attorneys for the former president told U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan on Wednesday that they would be declining to present witnesses for the defense, including Trump’s testimony on his own behalf. An expert witness tapped by the team to rebut Carroll’s allegations against Trump was reportedly unable to participate in the trial due to “health issues.”
Last week Trump earned a reprimand from Kaplan, who warned that his Truth Social posts attacking Carroll could earn him “a new source of potential liability.”
The jury is expected to reach a verdict on the case sometime within the next week.
