E Jean Carroll has testified that Donald Trump "shattered" her reputation after she accused him of sexually assaulting her in the 1990s.
The judge threatened to kick the former president out of the federal court in Manhattan after he was overheard criticising the plaintiff's testimony.
This is Ms Carroll's second civil defamation case against Mr Trump. The writer is seeking $10m (£8m).
Mr Trump, 77, has denied her accusation and continues to do so.
Last May, a jury found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation, though not for rape, and awarded Ms Carroll $5m. That trial was based on his 2022 remarks that her story was a "con job" and "hoax".
