The former president took the stand Thursday in the defamation damages trial brought by writer E. Jean Carroll.
MSNBC’s Katie Phang said Donald Trump didn’t do himself any favors with the jury during his brief stint on the stand at his defamation damages trial.
The former president testified Thursday in the case brought by E. Jean Carroll, a writer who accuses him of raping her in a department store dressing room in 1996 and subsequently defaming her when she went public with her allegations. Trump denies the charges.
Despite testifying for less than three minutes, Trump still managed to push past the limits of what was permitted by Judge Lewis Kaplan.
