Jurors will be asked to decide whether Mr Trump committed battery and defamed writer E Jean Carroll and whether damages should be awarded.
The verdict will be delivered at 3 p.m.
A Manhattan jury Tuesday found Donald Trump liable for battery and defamation in the civil trial of E. Jean Carroll, finding he sexually abused her but not reaching a definitive conclusion on the allegation of rape.
Donald Trump has insisted he did not assault E. Jean Carroll, who was awarded a $5 million judgment against the former president.
The New York court, however, found that the former US president did not rape the prominent writer in the lingerie dressing room of a Manhattan department store in the mid-1990s.
