Donald Trump has walked out of his own defamation trial in New York in the middle of closing arguments.
The former president has already been found to have defamed writer E Jean Carroll for comments he made about her in 2019 while he was president.
The jury in the case must now decide how much Mr Trump must pay in damages.
But on Friday, he left court during closing arguments by Ms Carroll’s lawyer, who said Mr Trump was a liar who thought rules did not apply to him.
Prior to his swift departure, Mr Trump was seen shaking his head as lawyer Roberta Kaplan repeatedly brought up that Mr Trump had sexually assaulted Ms Carroll. Mr Trump was found liable for the sexual assault in a separate civil trial last year.
