E. Jean Carroll and former President Donald Trump.
  • Donald Trump intends to testify in E. Jean Carroll's defamation trial against him, his lawyer said.
  • The trial was delayed Monday for a juror COVID-19 scare — and Tuesday is the New Hampshire primary.
  • The trial will now also be paused Tuesday, allowing Trump to have his primary and testify, too.

Donald Trump will have a chance to testify in his own defense in E. Jean Carroll's defamation trial this week after his own campaign schedule nearly got in the way.

After initially holding Trump, Carroll, and their legal teams in suspense Monday, US District Judge Lewis Kaplan agreed to adjourn the trial until Wednesday morning.
