After the judge addressed the courtroom that Trump was not allowed to deny that he sexually assaulted Carroll, Habba stated that Trump would deny the allegations. The judge pressed her on what Trump would say on the stand, asking if that was "100% of what he would say." Habba replied that she "can't say what he is going to say".

Kaplan instructed her that she could only ask Trump about his actions in the aftermath of the allegations, not the substance of them.

The judge asked Habba what questions she plans to ask Trump on the stand.

Habba says she will ask him if he stands by his testimony, whether he made the statements in response to her accusations and whether he ever instructed anyone to hurt Carroll.

The judge says that before Trump takes the stand, he has a few things to say, including that Trump cannot offer any evidence or dispute the previously made determinations that he sexually assaulted Carroll or defamed her.

The judge said that a prior action cannot be re-litigated and there are no do-overs.

Susan Necheles and Todd Blanche, who are representing Trump in criminal proceedings related to his alleged hush money payments to Stormy Daniels, are in the courthouse today. They had lunch with Trump's attorneys in this case during the recess.

Kaplan started the afternoon by asking Habba if she has any more witnesses. She responded yes, she would be calling Trump.

The trial has resumed and Trump is seated in the courtroom with his hands clasped in front of him.

Trump spokesman Steven Cheung was removed from the courtroom shortly after his phone alarm went off amid Martin’s testimony.

“Whose telephone is that?” Kaplan asked, adding that there are strict rules about phone use in court.

Martin is dismissed from the stand. There is a lunch break until 1:50 p.m., after which Trump is expected to take the stand.

Asked by Crowley if she knows if Carroll has been harmed by Trump’s statements, Martin replied, “I do,” adding that she had concerns for her own safety, as well as her daughter’s, in 2019.

Martin said she was concerned for her safety because she had been involved in the lawsuit and is a “huge consumer” of the news.

Asked whether she was concerned about Carroll bringing another lawsuit against Trump, Martin said she was. Martin said she feared that Trump’s attacks on Carroll would “escalate and get worse” as he continued to deny her allegations.
