Trump takes the stand in federal defamation case

Donald Trump took the stand in a New York City courtroom on Thursday as part of the defamation lawsuit filed by writer E. Jean Carroll. In an earlier trial, Trump was found guilty of sexually abusing Carroll in the 1990s in a department store dressing room and then defaming her by denying the assault and alleging she invented the story to make money. William Brangham reports.
