• The judge in E. Jean Carroll’s second defamation trial warned Trump to “keep his voice down” on Wednesday.
• Carroll’s lawyer said he heard Trump disparaging Carroll while she was testifying.
• “I’m going to ask Mr. Trump to take special care to keep his voice down in conferring with his attorneys,” the judge said.

E. Jean Carroll’s lawyer heard Donald Trump insulting her while she was giving testimony at trial, leading the judge in the case to warn Trump to “keep his voice down”

“Mr. Trump has been loudly saying things, including that the witness is lying and noting that she has suddenly got her memory back,” Carroll’s attorney, Shawn Crowley, told Judge Lewis Kaplan Wednesday. “It’s loud enough that some of us here are hearing it.”

Crowley — who was seated two tables away from Trump — brought up the heckling just before the morning break during the trial on Wednesday, after jurors were released from the room.

When the break ended and Trump took his seat — but before the jury was brought back in — the judge chided him, saying: “I’m going to ask Mr. Trump to take special care to keep his voice down in conferring with his attorneys.”

Kaplan had previously issued warnings to keep the proceedings from getting out of hand, telling both sides on Tuesday not to communicate with the jury “directly or indirectly.”

Trump was found liable last year in a separate trial for sexually abusing Carroll in the mid-1990s and defaming her in 2022 when he accused her of lying about the assault.

He was ordered to pay her $5 million in damages.

Based on that first verdict, Kaplan in September found Trump liable in a second case for defaming Carroll in 2019 when he similarly accused her of lying. Wednesday’s trial centers around whether Trump will have to pay additional damages to the former magazine columnist.

Carroll’s attorney urged jurors in opening arguments Tuesday to impose additional damages on Trump for the harm he caused her with his statements.

Crowley didn’t specify a dollar figure, but she asked that the number be big enough to “make him stop.”

“How much money will it take to make him stop?” she said. “Because he hasn’t stopped.”

Her opening statements came after Trump’s Truth Social account blasted out a series of posts attacking Carroll while he was sitting in the courtroom with her, again calling her a liar.
