The judge in the case, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, has said he would give Trump until 5 p.m. Sunday to provide his final answer about testifying in his own defense in response to Carroll's allegations that he sexually assaulted her at a posh Manhattan department store in spring 1996.
"If he has second thoughts, I’ll at least consider it," Kaplan said in court after the jury had been sent home for the day, adding that if Trump misses the deadline, "That ship will be irrevocably sailed."
Hours earlier, Trump suggested to reporters while golfing in Ireland that he would "probably attend" the trial, but lawyer Joseph Tacopina said there were no plans for him to do so.
Barring a Trump appearance, Kaplan said, lawyers will make closing arguments Monday.
