Trump (finally and briefly) testifies

Former President Trump was on the witness stand in a Manhattan federal courthouse as he seeks to avoid a multimillion-dollar jury verdict against him in his civil defamation trial. The case centers on Trump’s 2019 comments about E. Jean Carroll, the magazine columnist who last year won a civil verdict over her claim Trump sexually assaulted her in the mid-1990s and then said he defamed her when he denied the claim. She is seeking at least $10 million and the jury will decide how much Trump must pay her. CNN Correspondent Kara Scannell tells Anderson Cooper what the former President said while he was testifying and when the jury is expected to reach a verdict. Plus, the Republican National Committee was considering a move that would declare Trump the party's 2024 presumptive nominee even though he hasn't reached the delegate requirements to win the nomination. CNN National Correspondent Kristen Holmes joins AC360 to discuss the former Trump's changing stance on the proposal and where it currently stands. Learn more about your ad choices.
