Trump walks out of courtroom as closing arguments begin in E. Jean Carroll trial
CBSN
Former President Donald Trump walked out of a New York courtroom during closing arguments in the defamation trial brought by the writer E. Jean Carroll, who alleges he sexually assaulted her in the 1990s.
Roberta Kaplan, Carroll's attorney, was about 10 minutes into her closing argument when Trump, who was seated at the defense table, got up and walked out of the room.
Before leaving, Kaplan repeatedly told the jury that Trump sexually assaulted Carroll, prompting the former president to shake his head. She then moved on to Trump's repeated defamatory statements, and said that "typically when people are held liable for false and defamatory lies, they stop."
