Witthaya Prasongsin/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- Former President Donald Trump is on trial this week in New York City to determine whether he will have to pay former Elle magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll additional damages for defaming her in 2019 when he denied her allegations of sexual abuse.

Last year, in a separate trial, a jury determined that Trump was liable for sexually abusing Carroll in the dressing room of a Manhattan department store in the 1990s, and that he defamed her in a 2022 social media post by calling her allegations "a Hoax and a lie" and saying "This woman is not my type!"

Trump has denied all wrongdoing and has said he doesn't know who Carroll is.

Here's how the news is developing. All times Eastern:

'This is not America,' Trump mutters as he leaves court

"Not America," Donald Trump muttered as he exited the courtroom following his testimony.

"It's not America. This is not America," he repeated, his voice rising as he slowly walked toward the courtroom exit.

Court is adjourned until 3:30 p.m. ET, at which point attorneys will conference with the judge.

Closing arguments are currently scheduled for tomorrow.

Trump testifies he denied allegations to defend himself

"Do you stand by your testimony in your deposition?" Trump's attorney, Alina Habba, asked Trump on the witness stand.

"100% yes," Trump responded.

"Did you deny the allegation to defend yourself?" Habba asked. "Yes I did, that's exactly right," Trump responded.

"Mr. President, did you ever instruct anyone to hurt Ms. Carroll?"

"No, I just wanted to defend myself, my family and frankly the presidency," Trump answered.

The judge struck everything after the word "no."

On cross-examination Carroll's attorney Roberta Kaplan asked whether this is the first trial with Carroll that Trump has attended. He said yes.

On redirect, Trump affirmed he was represented by counsel.

Trump then stepped down from the stand, his testimony over after all of three minutes.

Jan 25, 2:26 PM
Judge provides instructions on scope of testimony

Prior to Trump taking the witness stand, Judge Lewis Kaplan reminded the parties, outside the jury's presence, that a prior trial found "Mr. Trump in fact sexually abused Ms. Carroll by forcibly and without consent inserting his fingers into her vagina" and that "Ms. Carroll did not make up her claim of forcible sexual abuse."

Kaplan said the prior trial also established Trump's statements of denial were defamatory and that Trump "knew they were false, had serious doubts as to the truth of what he said or made those statements with a high degree of awareness that they were probably false."

The judge reminded the defense that Trump cannot make any argument "disputing or undermining those determinations." He said "there is cause for concern" that Trump's testimony might contain inadmissible evidence.

"I want to know everything he is going to say," Kaplan told defense attorney Alina Habba.

"That he stands by his deposition," Habba responded. "He is going to say that he did not make the statements to hurt Ms. Carroll."

Habba said Trump will also say that he had to respond to the allegation and did not instruct anyone to disparage Carroll.

Carroll's attorney, Roberta Kaplan, complained that while Habba was giving her proffer, "Mr. Trump said under his breath that he never met her and had never seen her before."

Kaplan said the jury would be instructed that, regardless of what Trump says on the witness stand, "he did it."

Trump was overheard saying he was not at the first trial and that he does not "know this woman" as Habba tried to affirm Trump understood the confines of his testimony.

"So he will comply with the rulings?" Kaplan asked. "That is my understanding," Habba replied.

The judge has limited the examination to three questions: Does he stand by the deposition? Did he deny the allegation because an accusation had been made? And did he instruct anyone to hurt Carroll?

Jan 25, 2:19 PM
Trump takes the stand

"Defense calls President Donald Trump," attorney Alina Habba said as Trump took the stand in his own defense.

Trump, observing proceedings, is more subdued than last week

With the morning session completed, a more subdued Donald Trump has been in the courtroom today.

Unlike when Trump attended the trial last week, there have been no outbursts from Trump and no sparring with the judge. There are hardly any of the audible comments or hand gesturing that was observed earlier.

Instead, Trump has sat calmly and listened to the testimony, occasionally conferring quietly with his attorneys. When a video was played of him from just a few days ago repeating the claim that he "didn't know" E. Jean Carroll, he nodded along with the video and silently mouthed the words "true."

In fact, the only real disturbance today came when a cell phone -- which Judge Kaplan strictly prohibits in the courtroom -- rang in the galley.

"Whose telephone was that?" the judge asked. "Take that man out of here."

It turned out to be Trump campaign spokesperson Stephen Cheung-- who was removed from the courtroom by security.

Trump may take the witness stand when the proceedings resume after a break.

Carroll's friend testifies she was 'very concerned' for her

On cross-examination by Carroll's attorney Shawn Crowley, former television newswoman Carol Martin explained the safety concerns she said she had due to her association with E. Jean Carroll and her lawsuit against Donald Trump.

"I am a huge consumer of news and I keep up with everything that I can, as it happens, and the climate in the country felt dangerous to me," said Martin, a longtime friend of Carroll's. "Mr. Trump was saying he didn't lose the election and I was very concerned that my friend was right in the middle of a lawsuit like this one."

She also testified her comments about Carroll's "narcissism" and "lifestyle" were made out of concern that Carroll might lose at trial. Martin testified that when she called Carroll a "drug addict," she meant she was very passionate.

"I used the word drug addict. Bad word to use," Martin said.

"Are you suspicious of her motives?" asked Crowley.

"I am not suspicious of her motives," Martin replied.

Carroll has at times 'enjoyed the attention,' friend testifies

Former television newswoman Carol Martin, testifying as a hostile witness for the defense, said that her longtime friend E. Jean Carroll "has an admirable reputation in the workplace."

Martin testified that she did, "on some levels," have concern for her safety and her daughter's safety after Carroll went public in 2019 with her sexual assault accusation against Donald Trump. Martin was among the friends Carroll had told about the assault.

"As I saw the popularity of that article, my daughter became more concerned," Martin said of the 2019 New York magazine story in which Carroll made the accusation.

"Ms. Carroll assured you she didn't have security concerns?" defense attorney Alina Habba asked. "That was her opinion," Martin said. "Jeanie didn't want us to worry."

Habba has argued that the harm Carroll said she suffered as a result of Trump's defamatory statements is overblown.

"Did you think Ms. Carroll enjoyed the attention?" Habba asked. "At points, in early years," Martin responded. She also affirmed she had texted a friend that Carroll's "narcissism had run amok."

Martin testified that "at some point" she became frustrated with what Habba described as Carroll's "celebratory behavior" in connection with her lawsuits against Trump. "It's a difference in our personalities, but we work around it," Martin sai
