E. Jean Carroll beat Donald Trump in court, but she thinks it didn't have to go that way.
Carroll appeared on a live video with former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance, who asked Carroll if she thinks things could have gone differently if Trump had testified in the defamation trial.
Carroll starts by acknowledging the fact that Trump would have opened up himself to severe questioning if he testified, even saying he likely wouldn't have "survived" that, but then suggested he could have convinced "one juror," which would have deadlocked everything and ended the case.
"If he had come to court... he convinced half the nation to vote for him for president... I think if he had come back and gone on the stand, I think he could have convinced one juror," Carroll said.
Vance partly agreed, saying Trump could have done exactly that if he was composed and measured in his courtroom denials. That said, Vance noted that to do so isn't in Trump's nature, and predicted such a move would actually backfire on the now-president.
