Throughout Carroll’s testimony in which she said, “I’m here because Donald Trump assaulted me…he lied and it shattered my reputation,” Trump loudly complained about the case. Trump’s audible grumbling caused Carroll’s legal team to argue that the ex president was being loud enough for the jury to potentially hear his remarks.

important events
During yesterday's trial, Donald Trump showed no signs of holding back his emotional outbursts as E. J. Carroll testified.
Victoria Bekiempis, who was in court, reported in the Guardian newspaper:
As Carroll spoke, Trump audibly complained and appeared to double down on his denial of defamation, her lawyer said during a morning break in the proceedings.
“Mr. Trump sat at a table behind Mr. Carroll throughout her testimony and was yelling,” attorney Sean Crowley said.
“That's loud enough for us to hear,” Crowley said, “so I think it's loud enough for the jury to hear.”
“I would like to ask Mr. Trump to take special care to keep his voice low when meeting with his lawyers so that the jury cannot overhear,” Judge Lewis Kaplan said before the court resumed after a break. I warned you.
Mr. Trump did not follow Mr. Kaplan's instructions, and Mr. Crowley brought up his comments again before the lunch break.
“The defendant is giving statements again.” [that] We can be heard in the defense room,” Crowley said.
“He called it a 'witch hunt,' but it's actually a scam.”

After yesterday's trial, Donald Trump went on Truth Social to rant again about E. J. Carroll, her legal team, and Judge Lewis Kaplan, calling the case a “ridiculous hoax.”
In a fiery post on his social media platform, Trump wrote:
“This whole story is a hoax and a disgusting hoax! Like all the now completely discredited Russia, Russia, Russian hoaxes and everything else, this case also goes to her lawyer (whom I just lost in another fraud case). It is conceived, funded, and executed by Democratic political operatives like her lawyer (who I just won another fraud case!). Conceived, funded and executed by…”
E. Jean Carroll continues to testify in second defamation trial against Trump
EJ Carroll is scheduled to testify again on Thursday as part of the civil libel trial against Donald Trump.
Carroll's testimony comes after a heated exchange Wednesday between the former president, his attorney Alina Haba and U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan.
During her testimony, in which Carroll said, “I'm here because Donald Trump assaulted me…he lied and tarnished my reputation,” Trump spoke out about the incident. I complained. Trump's groans could be heard, leading Carroll's lawyers to argue that the former president was loud enough for jurors to hear what he was saying.
Judge Kaplan is a no-nonsense judge who has repeatedly warned Trump not to disrupt the courtroom and at one point threatened to throw him out of the court. In response, President Trump said, “I enjoy it, I enjoy it.”
President Trump is returning to Florida on Thursday to attend the funeral of his late mother-in-law, Amarzia Knabs, who died last week at the age of 78. Mr. Trump's lawyers tried to delay the funeral trial, but Mr. Kaplan refused.
