Former President Trump walked out of the courtroom as Carroll's attorney was delivering her closing statement.

Judge Lewis Kaplan interrupted.

"The record will reflect that Mr. Trump just rose and walked out of the courtroom," the judge said.

Before the jury was brought into the courtroom, Judge Lewis Kaplan issued a warning to all present prior to the start of closing arguments.

"No one in the courtroom is to say anything except for opposing counsel to say objection," the judge said. "No audible comments by anybody else."

Kaplan did not direct the warning at anyone in particular, but earlier in the trial he threatened to boot Trump from courtroom after the former president made comments that the jury could hear.

Before the jury entered, the defense asked permission to show the jury tweets from 2019 that Twitter users had written about E. Jean Carroll prior to Trump's defamatory statements denying her assault claim. Earlier, Trump's attorneys had argued that Trump wasn't responsible for the online attacks on Carroll, because she was already being attacked before Trump issued his denial.

The judge did not allow the defense to display the additional tweets.

When Trump attorney Alina Habba attempted to press ahead with her argument, Kaplan interrupted.

"You are on the verge of spending some time in the lockup -- now sit down," Kaplan boomed.

Former President Trump has arrived at the courthouse for closing arguments this morning.

Jurors are expected to begin deliberations today after attorneys for Trump and E. Jean Carroll deliver their closings.

After four days of testimony, attorneys for E. Jean Carroll and Donald Trump are scheduled to deliver their closing arguments this morning.

Once closings conclude and Judge Lewis Kaplan instructs the jury on the law, nine jurors will begin deliberating how much money, if any, Trump should pay in damages for making two defamatory statements about Carroll in 2019.

In filings to the court, Carroll's lawyers have indicated they're seeking at least $10 million in damages, but their statements to the jury have reflected a potentially higher number based on Trump's repeated defamatory statements during the two-week jury trial.

Carroll's lawyers argued that Trump made 22 defamatory statements last Tuesday, when opening arguments were delivered in the case, and that overall he's made more than 100 defamatory statements, both in and out of court, during the two-week trial.

"Think about that when you consider how much money it will take to get him to stop," Carroll's lawyer Shawn Crowley told the jury earlier.

The defense's motion for a directed verdict, made after Carroll's attorneys rested their case, asked the judge to end the trial due to a lack of evidence.

"Ms. Carroll has failed to establish any causal link between her claim for damages and President Trump's statement," defense attorney Alina Habba said. "On causation alone, she has not proven her facts."

Habba argued, as she did in her opening statement, that people were disparaging Carroll prior to Trump issuing his defamatory denials. She also argued Carroll could not prove she received death threats at the time because she deleted messages that contained them, prompting an interjection from the judge.

"Your theory here is that she should be punished because, before there was litigation, she deleted tweets that could be helpful to her?" Judge Lewis Kaplan asked. "That's not my argument," Habba replied. "Sounds like it," the judge said.

Carroll's attorney, Roberta Kaplan, argued that she had met her burden.

"We believe there is more than ample evidence, causation, here to allow the case to go to the jury," Roberta Kaplan said.

The judge denied the defense's motion. Next up will be the defense's first witness.
