Former President Donald Trump has declined his last chance to testify in a civil trial where longtime advice columnist E. Jean Carroll has accused him of raping her in a luxury department store dressing room in 1996. The jury has watched lengthy excerpts from an October videotaped deposition in which Trump vehemently denied the allegations, and Carroll is seeking compensatory and punitive damages totaling millions of dollars. The outcome of the trial could have a major impact on Trump's political future.
