As the other GOP presidential candidates crisscrossed New Hampshire Wednesday in advance of the first-in-the-nation primary, Donald Trump was sitting in a New York district courthouse, earning the scorn of a judge who repeatedly warned the former president he would throw him out of the courtroom if Trump couldn’t control his outbursts.
Jurors are hearing E. Jean Carroll’s defamation case against Trump. And during the morning session Wednesday, the former president grumbled out loud during the hours-long testimony from Carroll, the journalist he was previously found to have sexually assaulted. While she described the pain she felt from the insults and threats that Trump’s loyal fans hurled at her after she came out about the attack, Trump turned the defense table into a peanut gallery.
