Trump attends NYC Carroll defamation trial and slams 'attempted extortion'

Former President Donald Trump arrived at a snow-covered Manhattan federal courthouse on Tuesday for the start of the penalty phase of his defamation lawsuit brought by former Elle columnist E. Jean Carroll.

Fresh off his big win in the Iowa caucuses the night before, Trump could be forced to pay Carroll more than $10 million in damages for allegedly dragging her name and reputation through the mud after she accused him of sexually assaulting her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in 1995.
