A federal judge in New York on Tuesday allowed E. Jean Carroll to amend her initial defamation lawsuit against former President Donald Trump, permitting her to seek additional damages.
Carroll, a former magazine columnist, had asked a judge to amend her initial November 2019 lawsuit so she could seek additional punitive damages after Trump repeated comments about her during a May 11 town hall, comments similar to ones that a federal jury found to be defamatory.
She is requesting an award of at least $10 million after the jury last month assessed Trump $5 million in civil damages for sexual abuse and defamation.
The decision by U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in the Southern District of New York came just hours after Trump was arraigned and pleaded not guilty in Miami on charges related to his handling of classified documents.
