A day after Trump's brief testimony, lawyers to present closing arguments in E. Jean Carroll defamation trial

Less than 24 hours after Donald Trump testified briefly in his defamation damages trial, a jury of nine New Yorkers will hear closing arguments in the case Friday.

Nearly five years ago, then-president Donald Trump repeatedly denied allegations that he sexually assaulted columnist E. Jean Carroll in a Manhattan department store in the 1990s.

Last year, a jury determined those denials were false and defamatory.

Today, a jury of nine New Yorkers will hear closing arguments and begin deliberating how much his defamatory statements should cost the former president -- less than 24 hours after Trump took to the witness stand in his own defense.

Following years of litigation and a two-week trial with testimony from both Carroll and Trump, the damages determined by the jury could be another costly expense for the former president ahead of his four criminal trials and the presidential election.
