Politico: “Lawyers for Donald Trump and E. Jean Carroll offered closing arguments Monday in the civil trial in which Carroll has accused the former president of raping her in a dressing room at a luxury department store in the mid-1990s. She is suing him for battery and defamation. He has denied her claims, saying the alleged incident ‘never happened.’”
“The judge is expected to instruct the jury on Tuesday morning, after which the jurors will begin deliberating.”
