Trump Vows to Attend Defamation Trial as Legal Battles Take Center Stage in Presidential Campaign

Former President Donald Trump said on Jan. 11 that he would attend his defamation trial against writer E. Jean Carroll and wanted to do the same for all of his upcoming trials, which he said have become “part” of his “campaign.”

“Yeah, I’m going to go to it, and I’m going to explain I don’t know who the hell she is,” he said at the Trump Building in New York City.

The trial is scheduled to start Jan. 16 and is focused on how much President Trump will have to pay Ms. Carroll for allegedly defaming her by saying she lied about him sexually assaulting her.
In 2019, Ms. Carroll brought a defamation case against President Trump. Ms. Carroll brought a separate case against President Trump when New York state lifted the statute of limitations for sexual offense cases for one year and won $5 million in damages in May. The former president countersued, but the case was dismissed.
