Former US President Donald Trump testified briefly in a defamation case brought against him by writer E. Jean Carroll, who is seeking over $1 million in damages. Trump, who maintains that he never met Carroll, gave a testimony that lasted just four minutes. The case stems from Carroll’s accusation that Trump sexually assaulted her in the 1990s, which he has denied. While Trump testified, his former trade adviser, Peter Navarro, was sentenced to four months in jail for contempt of Congress, and other significant legal cases involving Trump were also mentioned.
