Former President Donald Trump has been granted a one-week delay to testify at a New York defamation trial, where he could potentially be forced to pay millions of dollars in damages.
The trial stems from defamatory comments that the judge in the case said President Trump made about columnist E. Jean Carroll in 2019 and in May 2023, a day after a jury found that the former president sexually assaulted Ms. Carroll in the 1990s and defamed her in his 2022 statements. President Trump is appealing the verdict.
