In a New York courtroom, former President Donald Trump faced a heated exchange with Judge Lewis Kaplan during the ongoing defamation trial brought against him by E. Jean Carroll. Following a previous verdict that determined Trump had sexually abused and defamed Carroll, the jury is now determining the amount of financial compensation he must pay.
During the testimony of Carroll, who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her in a department store dressing room in 1996, tensions escalated as Trump was accused of being disruptive. Judge Kaplan warned Trump to speak more quietly when conversing with his lawyers and eventually threatened to remove him from the courtroom. In response, Trump provocatively stated, 'I would love it.'
