play00:24

trial against him brought by egene

play00:27

Carroll you may remember last May a jury

play00:29

found that Trump sexually assaulted

play00:31

Carol and then defamed her by lying

play00:34

about it a crime known in Republican

play00:36

circles as presumptive

play00:39

nominee now I'll tell you all about it

play00:43

in the latest installment of our ongoing

play00:48

series road to the White House and or

play00:52

big house Donald Trump Fe the people

play00:57

America decides Andor con

play01:02

F we are an

play01:04

Institute and a powerful death

play01:08

penalty now Trump uh he actually

play01:11

testified today briefly of course the

play01:13

last time Trump was allowed to speak in

play01:15

court it went completely off the rails

play01:16

which did not escape the man overseeing

play01:19

this case federal district court judge

play01:21

and Batman's backup

play01:24

Butler Lewis Kaplan Kaplan set very

play01:27

strict guidelines for Trump attorney

play01:29

Alina habba seen here saying I don't

play01:31

know what happened to your couch as

play01:32

upholstery why do you

play01:35

ask habba habba limited herself to a

play01:39

series of yes or no questions which

play01:41

Trump failed to answer with just yes or

play01:43

no instead he did this habba did you

play01:47

instruct anyone to hurt Ms Caroll Trump

play01:50

play01:52

family and frankly the presidency judge

play01:55

Kaplan broke in and instructed the jury

play01:57

to disregard everything after no
