Former President Donald Trump's legal team will not call any witnesses to the stand in the ongoing trial stemming from author E. Jean Carroll's federal battery and defamation lawsuit, Trump's attorney said Wednesday.
The attorney, Joe Tacopina, told the judge Wednesday that a potential witness, a psychiatrist, will be unable to testify due to a medical issue. Tacopina said Tuesday that the only other person on Trump's witness list, Trump himself, does not intend to testify.

Carroll claimed in the suit and on the stand that Trump raped her in a New York City department store in the mid-1990s. Trump has denied that allegation and accused Carroll of making up the story in an effort to sell books.
