JUST IN: E. Jean Carroll has asked a judge to amend her initial defamation case to seek further damages for what Donald Trump said at a CNN town hall
The request was made in a letter to the judge seeking clarity on the initial lawsuit following the jury verdict earlier this month finding Trump sexually abused Carroll and awarding her $5 million.
Carroll’s attorneys said Trump’s defamatory statements repeated during the town hall earlier this month go directly to the issue of punitive damages, which are intended to punish the person found liable. Carroll’s initial lawsuit was held up on appeal and relates to statements Trump made in 2019 while he was president. The trial involved a statement Trump made in 2022. An appeals court sent the initial lawsuit back to the lower court judge just before the trial.
