Expected Trump testimony in sex abuse defamation trial postponed to Wednesday

With former President Donald Trump expected to soon take the witness stand, a juror’s illness abruptly forced a two-day delay Monday of a defamation trial over his comments about E. Jean Carroll, the writer he called a liar after she claimed he sexually assaulted her in the 1990s.
The trial will resume Wednesday. The change in plans came after the court asked for COVID-19 tests on all the jurors. One of Trump’s lawyers also hasn’t been feeling well but tested negative, and his team wanted to postpone the Republican presidential front-runner’s next appearance until after Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary.
