Jury Seated In Trump Defamation Trial

NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump left his defamation trial before a lawyer for a New York columnist told jurors in an opening statement that he used “the world’s biggest microphone” five years ago to destroy her reputation after she said he sexually abused her. But before leaving, he showed his displeasure Tuesday with the courts and the current trial in particular. The jury must decide what, if anything, Trump owes columnist E. Jean Carroll. Trump, sitting at the defense table, shook his head in disgust as the judge told prospective jurors that another jury had already decided that the former president had sexually abused Carroll in a luxury department store.
