The defamation trial against Donald Trump won't resume until Wednesday morning -- a day after the former president is slated to go to New Hampshire for the primary election in the state -- court officials announced.

Trial was canceled for Tuesday but no specific reason was given for the postponement.

The real estate mogul came to Manhattan federal court Monday morning to observe as E. Jean Carroll was set to wrap up her defamation case against him and to testify himself after that -- but trial was canceled because of a sick juror and a "covid exposure."

Trump's lawyer Alina Habba told Judge Lewis Kaplan that her parents tested positive for COVID and noted she saw them three days prior but she tested negative for the virus Monday morning.

Kaplan, however, shut down trial for the day anyway after a juror said they were sick. The judge then ordered all of the jurors to test themselves and report back.

Meanwhile, Habba asked for things to be put on hold until Wednesday as Trump would be out of the state on Tuesday for the Granite State's 2024 primary presidential election.

The judge said he'd wait for further information before deciding and let everyone go shortly after 10 a.m.

The New York federal trial to decide how much Donald Trump could owe E. Jean Carroll for denying that he sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman fitting room was postponed Monday because of a sick juror — and the ex-president’s lawyer being exposed to COVID.

Minutes after Trump arrived in the lower Manhattan courthouse — where he’d been expected to testify later in the day — US District Judge Lewis Kaplan sent all of the parties in the case home.

The juror in “seat No. 3” reported on his way to court that he was feeling hot and nauseous, and was advised to stay away and test himself for COVID, the judge said.

Trump’s personal attorney, Alina Habba, also reported having a fever within the “past 48 hours” and having dinner with her parents — who recently tested positive for COVID — in the past few days.

Trump attorney Alina Habba opted for mob-wife on top, Carrie Bradshaw on the bottom as she headed to court Monday for what would be a very short proceeding.

Habba, 39, was braced for the frigid Manhattan temps in a cozy-luxe fur coat (real? faux?), balancing the look with nude-and-black pumps.

Donald Trump is back at Trump Tower after a quick trip downtown to federal court this morning.

The judge in the $10 million civil defamation and sex abuse trial against the GOP 2024 frontrunner canceled proceedings for Monday, after Trump attorney Alina Habba notified Judge Lewis Kaplan that she had potentially been exposed to COVID over the weekend.

Donald Trump lawyer Alina Habba asked a judge to postpone E. Jean Carroll's defamation trial until Wednesday since the former president won't be able to attend Tuesday because of the New Hampshire presidential primary election.

"My client reminded me ... I apologize, that tomorrow is the New Hampshire primary," Habba said.

Moments before, Judge Lewis Kaplan canceled trial for Monday because of a sick juror, and because Habba had a "COVID exposure" to her parents three nights earlier -- though she tested negative Monday and wasn't feeling ill.

Carroll's lawyer Roberta Kaplan (who is no relation to the judge) said she opposed further delays, adding, "We would like to get this trial over with."

The judge said he would rule later since the issue of covid may result in further delays anyway.

After Donald Trump arrived in court, trial was canceled Monday morning over "COVID exposure," a judge decided.

The former president's lawyer Alina Habba -- who wasn't wearing a mask -- told Judge Lewis Kaplan that she had dinner with her parents three nights ago and they tested positive for the virus.

While the firebrand lawyer tested negative before trial Monday morning and wasn't feeling ill, the judge canceled for the day as one of the jurors was under the weather.

The whole jury is going to be tested for COVID.

Kaplan said trial would pick back up on Tuesday morning.

Donald Trump left Trump Tower on Monday morning to head to court for the ongoing defamation trial that sexual assault accuser E. Jean Carroll mounted against him — and he could take the witness stand later in the day.

Monday marks the third day the former president has attended the case taking place in Manhattan federal court. He was reluctantly absent on Thursday to attend his mother-in-law's funeral.

Trump, 77, was wearing a dark blue suit, light blue tie and white shirt as he left his Fifth Avenue property earlier Monday, waving at the media outside.

The "Ask E. Jean" advice columnist is slated to wrap up her case today, and that could leave the real estate tycoon free to take the witness stand himself later as his lawyers begin to present his defense case.

Carroll is seeking more than $10 million in damages from Trump for his public denials in June 2019 of her claims that he sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman fitting room in 1996.
