A rush of E. Jean Carroll v. Donald Trump exhibits have been released — including the former president's video deposition.

Here's an excerpt where Trump mistakes Carroll with his ex-wife Marla Maples.

Background, @lawcrimenews: lawandcrime.com/live-trials/e-…
Recall: Trump claimed Carroll was not his "type."

After corrected on the gaffe, Trump said the photo was "blurry." For reference, this is the photograph.

This is Trump examining that photo. Image

E. Jean Carroll rests her case.
Before that moment

A federal judge sustained an objection to the admission of a piece of evidence E. Jean Carroll's team wanted to introduce into evidence.

The judge says Carroll can try introducing it again "in the event that Mr. Trump, for any reason, testifies in this case."
From that remark, it would seem that door appears to be open.

Finally, an expert offers a damages estimate in E. Jean Carroll v. Trump:

$368,183.78 (low) to $2,763,107.82 (high)

That's before punitive damages, @lawcrimenews
Carroll's legal team coyly avoided assigning a damages estimate at trial, until now.

We still need to find out their final ask for other category of damages.
Also, to emphasize again, this is the ask — as calculated by the plaintiff's expert.

Good morning from New York.

This is expected to be the last day of witness testimony in E. Jean Carroll v. Donald Trump. She's planning to rest her case today; he isn't planning to present a defense case.

Follow every wrinkle for the last time until summations, @lawcrimenews.
For those who heard Trump's claim that he's going to fly in from Ireland to "confront" Carroll in New York, reporter @molcranenewman sets you straight, via the ex-president's lawyer.
“And I have a judge who’s extremely hostile,” Trump adds.

One wonders whether this whole presser will come up in court.

Now in E. Jean Carroll v. Trump:

The videotaped deposition of former President Donald Trump is shown to the jury.
In the deposition, Trump struggles to remember the years of his marriage to Marla Maples, his second wife.
Q: Did you have occasion to go to the store Bergdorf Goodman?
A: Very rarely.

Now —

The "Access Hollywood" tape is being played in court during E. Jean Carroll v. Trump, during the testimony of Natasha Stoynoff.
Stoynoff says she was "sick to my stomach" when she saw that tape, then thought:

"Oh, he does this to a lot of women. It's not just me. It's not something I did."

She tearfully adds:

"I worried that because I didn't say anything at the time that other women were hurt by him."
Stoynoff describes her reaction to Trump's "locker room talk" denial to Anderson Cooper about the tape during the 2016 presidential debate:

"I just felt very upset that he was lying to the American people."

Stoynoff:

"He starts kissing me, and he's against me."

Her voice is quaking throughout this recounting.

"No words came out of me. I tried."

Turning to a pivot point of Carroll's trial, Carroll's lawyer asks:

Q: Did you scream?
A: No.
The butler entered the room, interrupting them, and then Stoynoff says that Trump remarked after.

"Don't forget what Marla said. Best sex she ever had."
Stoynoff says she didn't tell anyone from People magazine, which she was running a one-year anniversary of Mar-a-Lago.

"I was worried that they would kill the story."

She says she was worried about Trump's retaliation.

"I did not want to cause trouble for the magazine."
