Donald Trump waved to his fans as he headed to court for closing arguments in E. Jean Carroll’s $10 million libel trial.
The former president, 78, left Trump Tower Friday morning with his attorney Alina Habba after the defense rested their case against the Elle columnist, the writer who accuses him of raping her in a department store in the 1990s.
It followed a dramatic Thursday in court where Trump dramatically took the witness stand and testified for just three minutes.
Trump faces up to $10 million in damages for defaming Carroll by claiming he never met her when she accused him of sexual assault.

From the stand, Trump told a civilian jury that he wanted to defend himself and “the presidency” by making accusations that were “completely false.”
Before testifying, he was reprimanded by the judge for speaking too loudly from his seat, and the judge repeatedly interrupted him during his testimony, forcing him to stick to a yes-or-no decision.
As he left, Trump looked back at the packed courtroom, shook his head and said, “This is not America.” Not America. This isn’t America.’
Trump stood in the stand for three minutes as his lawyer Alina Habba asked him a short series of questions.
