Donald Trump’s Truth Social account released numerous posts attacking E Jean Carroll, who is suing him for defamation.
This is the second trial related to defamation claims brought by Carroll, with a previous jury finding Trump civilly responsible for sexually abusing her.
Trump continues to deny the allegations and has mocked Carroll.

He has baselessly cast the trial as part of a conspiracy to keep him out of the White House.
US District Judge Lewis Kaplan “should put this whole corrupt, Crooked Joe Biden-directed Election Interference attack on me immediately to rest,” Trump said.
Trump cannot “make reference to a wide range of other prejudicial, irrelevant, or otherwise inadmissible matters that have featured prominently in his recent public statements about the case,” Carroll’s legal team wrote.
“If Mr Trump appears at this trial, whether as a witness or otherwise, his recent statements and behavior strongly suggest that he will seek to sow chaos,” they wrote.
“Indeed, he may well perceive a benefit in seeking to poison these proceedings, where the only question for the jury is how much more he will have to pay in damages for defaming Ms Carroll. This Court should made clear from the outset that Mr Trump is forbidden from engaging in such antics and will suffer consequences if he does so.”
Carroll seeks $10m in damages.
Trump’s attorney has withdrawn from his legal team before the trial.
