Donald Trump will not testify in writer E. Jean Carroll’s civil defamation and battery case against him, after a Sunday afternoon deadline passed without the former president filing a motion to reopen the case.
The two sides each rest their cases on Friday after Trump declined to testify in his own defense, but Judge Lewis Kaplan gave Trump until Sunday to reconsider, setting an afternoon deadline for Trump to file a motion to reopen the case for the sole purpose of testifying, in light of remarks Trump made while golfing in Europe suggesting he would return to New York to confront his accuser.
