Former President Donald Trump turned up in Manhattan federal court Wednesday for a second day in a row, as a jury is set to decide how much he must pay in damages to E. Jean Carroll, after he was found liable last year of both defaming the magazine writer in 2022, and sexually abusing her in the ’90s.
***
The “Ask E. Jean” columnist is asking for more than $10 million in damages. That’s on top of $5 million that jurors last spring ordered Trump to cough up.
*** Donald Trump threw his hands in the air and said he'd "love it" if Judge Lewis Kaplan made good on threats to throw the former president out of the courtroom.
A tense exchange between the jurist and Trump ensued after the 45th president -- who was warned earlier Wednesday to "keep his voice down" -- was accused by E. Jean Carroll's lawyer of speaking loudly about Carroll again within earshot of jurors.
"Mr. Trump has a right to be present here but that right can be forfeited if he is disruptive … or disregards our orders," Kaplan warned.
Carroll's lawyers told the judge that the real estate tycoon said, "It is a witch hunt. It really is a con job" -- despite Kaplan's earlier warning.
"Mr. Trump, I hope I don't have to --" Kaplan started to say before Trump cut him off.
"I would love it. I would love it," Trump taunted, before throwing his hands in the air.
"I understand that you are probably very eager for me to do that," Kaplan said. "I know you would like that, because you just can't control yourself in this circumstance, apparently."
"You can't either," Trump shot back. ***

An ancient Chinese proverb comes to mind...
He’s tired and this case has to be beyond aggravating New York City is a cesspool of no moralality democrats thinking they can steal everything he has worked for through phony lawsuits.
I can’t believe this disgusting, filthy woman was awarded a dime in the first case and the reprobate nympho is back for more.
The board desantis supporting nevertrumpers eagerly await Trump being tossed into jail
They’re thinking that will let desanctimonious become the next ‘republican’ candidate
As if anyone will ever consider desanctus anything other than road kill, at this point.
This woman is a complete lunatic who once said that rape is sexy, and admitted that she fabricated this fake accusation from an episode of Law & order. I am shocked that Trump even has the patience to sit in this ridiculous courtroom.
Trump probably wants this case to be over, no matter what the decision, so he can go to appeal. It will never stand up to appeal, so they keep on dragging it on and on and on.
Just like the other case that got pulled right before it reached to the Supreme court. They don’t actually want it to get there because once they get slapped down it sets precedent for all these other cases to get slapped down.
Trump isn’t wrong, but he is an idiot for arguing with the judge like that in court, since the judge can jail him in contempt.
Judge can also cross the line so Trump gets it thrown out.
President Trump is extremely tired. Just imagine going from the court room to a campaign event in a different state day after day. Trump is not young.
Democrats are so evil.
She does that and Trumps poll numbers will torpedo through the atmosphere with the voters. This is why She won’t jail him for contempt, nor kick him out of court.
Overtime the leftists do things to hurt him, it helps him with the voters whoo themselves are tired of the power judges in this country have.
Leftists don’t learn until they’re at rock bottom.
.......I really think that any of these judges involved with Trump in recent months would be hard pressed to find the courage to jail Trump.
This woman was so ugly, I bet Trump wouldn’t have taken $5 million to assault her!
I know exactly what type of woman this is. She was a Trump groupie who “tried” and “failed” to get Trumps attention! She was so freaking ugly and yet went out of her way to try to look like Marla Maples, then went to some event where Trump was and got him to take a picture with him as he was taking pics with many others.
Then she fantasized over the picture and masturbated to it knowing she was far to butt ugly to ever really catch his eye.
Trump really honestly doesn’t know who the hell this woman is. She is just some random person he was kind enough to take a picture with decades ago.
I feel so sorry for him. Not because of the $5 million, but because some people believe he might have actually got with this hag.
My goodness at the hysteria of people. It appears he picked up a file folder or box that had been very recently marked with a red sharpie. That type of thing happen in last minute trial prep.
Trump Accuser E. Jean Carroll Backed by Known Democrat Party Activists, Mega-Donor Reid Hoffman, Who Backs Haley.
Fat rats are gnawing on steel.
Women like this start out doing this young. I bet there are many stories about her past and her family.
Isn’t this the case where they had to change NY law in order to bring it?
This has nothing to do with deSantis.
Get him!
They wouldn’t treat Obama like that.
Payback is going to hurt.
