Trump’s attorney Joseph Tacopina told the judge on Thursday that Trump had waived his right to testify in the trial in Manhattan federal court and opted not to present a defence in the case, gambling that jurors will find that Carroll had failed to make a persuasive case. In response to a Reuters request for comment, Mr Tacopina said in a statement what Trump’s legal team had already told the court on Thursday, that the former president would not testify in the case.
After the jury left for the day on Thursday, US District Judge Lewis Kaplan asked Mr Tacopina to inform Trump that he had until Sunday at 5am Singapore timing to tell the court whether he intended to testify.Ms Carroll, 79, filed her lawsuit last year against Trump, 76, claiming he raped her in a dressing room at the Bergdorf Goodman department store in Manhattan in 1995 or 1996, and then defamed her by denying it happened.
