Former President Donald Trump's legal team in the civil battery and defamation trial brought against him by E. Jean Carroll will not put on a defense case, his attorney Joe Tacopina announced on Wednesday. The former magazine columnist accuses Trump of raping her in the mid-1990s and later defaming her when he denied her claims, suggesting she made up the story. Her lawyers argue that Trump's statements harmed Carroll's reputation and her career. During Trump's video deposition taken last October, which was shown to the jury, he testified that he rarely, "if ever," shopped at the location where the alleged rape took place. He also said that he never read Carroll's book or excerpt from her book in which she accused him of raping her. Carroll, encouraged by the impact of the #MeToo movement, filed the suit in accordance with New York law, which allows survivors a new window to file claims. Will the suit hold Trump accountable for his actions, or will the former President walk away again?
