E. Jean Carroll adds Trump’s post-verdict remarks to defamation case, seeks at least $10 million

E. Jean Carroll arrives at a New York courthouse in April. She accused Donald Trump of raping her in a department store in the 1990s. A jury found him liable for sexually abusing her and awarded her $5 million. Her amended suit seeks to deter Trump from further defamation. (Associated Press)
