"Donald Trump was in a Manhattan courtroom this morning for the start of the second civil trial against him, related to allegations brought by E. Jean Carroll, a columnist who says the firm sexually abused her in the luxury department store Bergdorf Goodman in the mid-nineties. This trial is expected to be brief, and it's very narrowly focused on the issue of damages. The previous trial, Trump was found liable for sexually abusing Carol. Uh, and this is really just focused on the question of how much he might have to pay for tweeting about her, saying that these allegations were not true. Trump's attorneys made the case today that Caroll has benefited from her association with Trump, that she's been able to sell books that her her star has risen basically. Uh, and attorneys for Caroll really hammered home the point that Trump has continued to bash her online. They said, what will it take for him to stop doing this if not a significant penalty?

"Here's the bottom line in this case: President Trump is fully in his right to completely deny these false accusations. And the judge up there has denied President Trump the basic American right to say that he's been wrongfully accused by a woman who he does not know, who he never truly met."

"A judge has told Trump that if he is going to testify, he cannot speak on several subjects, he can't relitigate the sexual abuse claim, and he can't claim that he doesn't recognize E. Jean Carroll, as he said before."

"He didn't speak, but he expressed himself through facial gestures and hand gestures. At one point, the judge asked if any of the prospective jurors thought Trump had been treated unfairly by the court system, and Trump sort of slyly raised his hand, prompting some laughter from the room."

STORYLINE:
Former President Donald Trump left his defamation trial before a lawyer for a New York columnist told jurors in an opening statement that he used “the world's biggest microphone” five years ago to destroy her reputation after she said he sexually abused her.
But before leaving, he showed his displeasure Tuesday with the courts and the current trial in particular.
The jury must decide what, if anything, Trump owes columnist E. Jean Carroll.
