NEW YORK (AP) — A jury is hearing closing arguments from a lawyer for the advice columnist who says Donald Trump sexually attacked her in a department store in 1996. Attorney Roberta Kaplan represents E. Jean Carroll in Manhattan federal court. She said no one, not even a former president, is above the law. Trump’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina, responded by saying nobody is below the law either. Trump, who has not attended the trial, insisted in an October deposition that Carroll made up the claims to boost sales of a 2019 memoir. Carroll is seeking compensatory and punitive damages.
