Donald Trump’s defamation trial, centered on sexual assault allegations, faced a delay as a juror reported Covid symptoms. The juror and one of Trump’s lawyers showed signs of fever, prompting Judge Lewis Kaplan to adjourn the proceedings. E. Jean Carroll, seeking over $10 million in damages, accuses Trump of defamation. Trump, who plans to testify, is simultaneously dealing with four criminal cases. The trial delay coincided with the New Hampshire Republican primary, where Trump remains a prominent figure, backed by 52%, according to a recent poll. The trial’s resumption will be assessed on Tuesday.
