The judge in E Jean Carroll’s battery and defamation case against Donald Trump has denied his request for a mistrial to be declared.

Magazine columnist E Jean Carroll is suing Mr Trump for battery and defamation after he allegedly raped her in the dressing room of the Bergdorf Goodman department store in the 1990s. Ms Carroll returned to the stand for a third day of testimony on Monday morning.

In a letter sent in overnight on Monday, Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina argued that Judge Lewis Kaplan is guilty of “pervasive unfair and prejudicial rulings” against the Trump legal team.

Meanwhile, Mr Trump arrived in Scotland to visit his golf courses.

“Will be meeting with many wonderful friends, and cutting a ribbon for a new and spectacular second course in Aberdeen,” he wrote on Truth Social.
