Trump leaves the courtroom without giving a comment

This relates to his alleged role in paying money for two women at the end of his 2016 presidential campaign.

Trump made no comment as he left the room, despite earlier reports that he could give a single-line remark.

Then he entered a waiting car.

Trump will return to his property at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, at 20:15 local time where he will address the media.
