Attorney Rebecca LeGrand told CNN host Laura Coates that former President Donald Trump is risking further legal problems by continuing to defame E. Jean Carroll.
"He's still out there doing it," she said. "He's inviting the next suit right now."
Trump on Thursday testified for less than three minutes in an attempt to win over the jury set to decide the defamation damages Carroll is entitled to after a jury last year found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming her.
When Trump left the courtroom in Lower Manhattan on Thursday he moaned three times: “This is not America.”
LeGrand said he's dead wrong.
"He's leaving the courthouse saying 'This is not America,' — well it's the America I know. It's the courts I know," she said. "When judges and juries make decisions and you ignore them you're gonna get indicted again, you're gonna get sued again."

Despite a preplanned arrangement on the boundaries of what the former president could say while testifying, Trump did try to squeak in a defense.
"She said something that I considered to be a false accusation,” he said, later adding: “I just wanted to defend myself, my family and, frankly, the presidency.”
What jurors did hear was Trump's 2022 deposition where he called Carroll “sick” and a “whack job.”
And when asked if he stood by his comments then, he responded: “100 percent.”
Already, a jury awarded $5 million last spring where Trump was found to have sexually abused Carroll and demeaned her in public.
In the second trial, she’s seeking at least $10 million.
