On Sunday, 5 p.m. came and went without Trump’s attorneys filing a motion to inform the court of any shift in plans, confirming that the entirety of Carroll’s civil case would play out without the accused once showing his face in the Manhattan courtroom.
Lawyers for Carroll, who alleges Trumpat New York’s Bergdorf Goodman Department Store just under 30 years ago, presented 11 witnesses over the course of two weeks. They rested their case late Thursday; almost immediately after, Tacopina rested his.
Kaplan, referencing Trump’s remarks in Ireland, expressed concerns that the jury needed to hear from Trump directly. “In the interests of justice,” he said, he would be willing to reopen the case briefly to allow the former president to testify.Trump has denied all wrongdoing in the matter, saying at various points that Carroll was “not [his] type” and that he doesn’t know who she is.
Lawyers for both parties are expected to make their closing arguments on Monday, and the jury is expected to receive the case for deliberation on Tuesday.
