E. Jean Carroll wants more compensation from Trump following his remarks at the CNN Town Hall.

E. Jean Carroll Demands $10 Million in Damages from Trump

Background

E. Jean Carroll, who accused former President Donald Trump of raping her in the 1990s, is seeking new monetary damages against him. She filed court documents on Monday, May 22, 2023, seeking at least $10 million in damages because of his comments about being liable for sexual abuse and defamation made on CNN’s Townhall.

New Lawsuit

Carroll’s lawyers have asked a Manhattan federal court judge for permission to amend the first defamation lawsuit she filed against Trump in 2019 to focus on his new statements made about her, which they believe is defamatory.

Trump’s Denial

Trump has denied all claims that Carroll has brought against him and appealed the jury’s judgment. During CNN’s Townhall, Trump defended himself saying, “They said, ‘He didn’t rape her’ And I didn’t do anything else either.” The 45th president has additionally taken to Truth Social many times to deny the allegations. Trump has filed an appeal in Carroll’s case against him calling the case a “Rigged Deal.”
