NEW YORK (AP) Donald Trump s lawyers said Wednesday that they will not call any witnesses at the New York civil trial arising from writer E. Jean Carrolls claims that the former president raped her in the mid-1990s.

Trump lawyer Joseph Tacopina said they decided not to put on a defense case after learning that health issues were preventing their expert witness, a psychiatrist, from testifying. Tacopina previously disclosed that Trump would not testify at the trial, in federal court in Manhattan.

Carrolls lawyers said they could finish presenting their case on Thursday.

They listed five remaining witnesses, including a former People magazine writer who says Trump pinned her against a wall and forcibly kissed her at his Mar-a-Lago mansion in Florida in 2005, an allegation he denies.
