Ex-US President Trump
Donald Trump's team are making closing arguments over an allegation he raped journalist E Jean Carroll in New York in the 1990s.
Trump's lawyers are trying to discredit Carroll, claiming her story was 'ripped off an episode of Law & Order SVU'.
Carroll seeks money for damages and that Trump retract his statements about her, which she claims are defamatory.
Trump has not testified, but the jury - made up of six men and three women - was shown a video deposition where he denied the rape.
Carroll's two friends took the stand as witnesses, claiming she told them about the assault just days after it happened.
The claim was brought to trial after New York passed a law that allowed survivors to sue years after their alleged sexual assault. (BBC)
