A jury of six men and three women began deliberations Tuesday in the civil lawsuit accusing former President Donald Trump of battery and defamation.
The trial in New York City wrapped up one day earlier with attorneys for the writer E. Jean Carroll and Trump making their closing arguments, following seven days of testimony from witnesses for Carroll, who says Trump raped her decades ago.
"Donald Trump has an M.O.," and that is targeting women in "semi-public" places and "grabbing" their genitals, Carroll's attorney, Roberta Kaplan, said Monday during closing arguments in the civil defamation and battery trial. But what Kaplan said is Trump's "M.O." his attorney Joe Tacopina called "a distraction," from what he said was a lack of evidence supporting Carroll's claims.
