The writer E. Jean Carroll has sought to amend the first of two defamation lawsuits she filed against Donald Trump, arguing the former US president’s statements after a jury found him liable in the second suit warranted “very substantial” damages.
A federal jury in Manhattan on May 9 found Mr Trump sexually abused Ms Carroll in the 1990s and then defamed her by lying about it in October 2022. The jury ordered him to pay Ms Carroll $US5 million in damages.
