Judge warns Trump he could be barred from E. Jean Carroll trial

Former President Donald Trump clashed with the judge overseeing his trial with the writer E. Jean Carroll, prompting the judge to threaten to kick him out of the courtroom if he didn't comply with his directives.
Trump returned to the federal courthouse on Wednesday for the second day of the trial in the defamation case brought by Carroll, who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her in a department store in the 1990s.
Judge Lewis Kaplan has already found that Trump's comments in 2019 calling her a liar and denying her account were defamatory, and the trial is focused solely on what damages Carroll should receive. She was awarded $5 million last year in a separate defamation case over other Trump comments, in which he was found liable for sexual abuse.
