Donald Trump Storms Out Of Court During Closing Arguments Of Defamation Trial
Former President Donald Trump abruptly walked out on closing arguments in Manhattan federal court Friday as a lawyer for a writer seeking millions of dollars in damages for defamation urged a jury to send him a message to stop abuse of her client.
U. S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan interrupted the closing argument that the lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, was making on behalf of writer E. Jean Carroll to note for the record that Trump “just rose and walked out of the courtroom.”
The walkout occurred shortly after closing began and minutes after the judge threatened to send Trump attorney Alina Habba to jail for continuing to talk when he told her she was finished.
“You are on the verge of spending some time in the lockup. Now sit down,” the judge told Habba.
