The New York author who won a $5 million sexual abuse trial against Donald Trump was allowed to expand an earlier defamation lawsuit to add remarks he made about her on a CNN town hall and seek at least $10 million more in damages.
US District Judge Lewis Kaplan on Tuesday granted E. Jean Carroll’s request to amend her lawsuit over Trump’s objections.
